In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville. More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter has been elected governor of Georgia. ajc.com/politics/2026/11/kei…

Keisha Lance Bottoms and the long road from Crawfordville to Governor’s Mansion

More than 160 years after her ancestors were enslaved in Georgia, the former Atlanta mayor has made history as the first Black woman elected governor.

Remember, if your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be working so hard to stop you from casting it.

Pitch perfect response from Obama to this manufactured Cheesecake Factory outrage
Acyn (@Acyn) profile pictureAcyn
@AcynOct 29
OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House. They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

The good, the bad, and the ugly of the permitting bill from the view of @NRDC's experts. This isn't comprehensive but we cover a lot. The TL:DR - the transmission stuff is REALLY good, but we have deep concerns about other elements of the bill and want to see changes. nrdc.org/media/nrdc-assessme…

A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…
Lie down with dogs, wake up refreshed? That’s what a new study suggests.

You’re more likely to disrupt your dog’s sleep than they are yours, new study suggests.
