Good morning! It’s the third of July. Celebrate with one of Cabbagetown’s greatest bands:
- Several state legislatures could – for the first time – be majority women.
- Deer baiting is statewide now, thanks to a DNR ruling.
- Savannah’s Starland Village is moving forward.
- There’s a new planet out there!
- The Thai soccer team is safe!
- Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a New Orleans native and an alum of their finest all-girls parochial school. Will she be Trump’s SCOTUS pick?
- The nationwide trucker shortage is a big economic deal.
- Make yourself a mug cobbler this holiday.
- Here’s what you need to know about fireworks in Georgia in order to be safe and a
decent human beinggood neighbor. - Hannah Gadsby’s Netflix special is exceptional, and I encourage you to give it an hour of your life. (It really is a perfect fart joke, and I intend to use it when the need arises – and it will arise.)
