Nearby neighborhoods are largely opposed to Cop City, but a small number of residents, like the moderators of Ormewood Park’s Facebook moderators, are trying to bury news and content.

The MAGA moderators of the huge neighborhood Facebook group for one of the precincts that showed up hard for a Democratic PSC candidate lost their minds over this.

It is been a slow rise, “moderating” content that they find objectionable by applying a rule against “controversy” and “policy”. They get really upset if you point it out! When they get called out too much over it, they dial it back for a while, but are right back at it after they think enough time has passed.

Meanwhile wet got the Atlanta City Council taking generous “campaign finance” from business interests to make it easier to remove Atlanta’s famous tree cover, which will further increase urban heating (which Southern Company / Georgia Power hasn’t been shy about confessing really improves their profits). One greasy palm “washes” the other.

Glad they were caught, convicted and imprisoned. Let’s prosecute those that run private, for-profit prison corporations next.

TIL… they released promotional cans of Slurm:

“Produced by Boston America Corp under license from 20th Century Fox, this very real energy drink is made to look like a can of the fictional Slurm from the intermittent animated series Futurama. The label features the classic Slurm logo and tagline “It’s highly addictive!” as well as an image of the late Slurms MacKenzie.”

I may have to turn in my Futurama fan card in shame of my ignorance. :-(
