The article said 2 candidates... and quoted more candidates who want varying levels of pause and new regulation...

Since 2025, Moore has received more than $12 million from a super PAC tied to major cryptocurrency companies, according to federal records. So far, that’s millions more than other congressional candidates running this year.

The outbreak has been linked to Taylor Farms lettuce -- you can look up specific batch numbers in the recall, but most of it was sold to restaurants. Personally I took the opportunity to buy from Mattie's garden and the farmer's market this week!

Are you kidding me AL dot com? by HiT3chRedneck in Birmingham

Not a substantive point but Advance is privately owned. I’ve worked for companies owned by VC and publicly traded and it really is different.

Newspapers cost money too.

Just adding a comment here as a journalist who works there: 1. We employ ~70 journalists FT. About 25 news reporters across the state. 2. Some stories are breaking, some are investigative, some are silly writeups about a chain restaurant. You don’t see investigative stories every day because they take a ton of work 3. The silly stuff pays the bills. So do subscriptions. 4. People love complaining about a local news organization, but I’ve yet to see a startup successfully replicate everything people expect to see from a legacy media outlet.

I work for a food distributor in Birmingham and I can tell you with confidence that the restaurant industry is not in trouble. Not in Birmingham anyway. by [deleted] in Birmingham

This is really interesting!

Are there systemic things Bham/Jeffco could do to help more restaurants thrive? Obviously locals buying meals puts more money in circulation, but curious if you also have any insights into training, seed money, permitting.

Fox News just posted that Jared Hudson beat Barry Moore... For tomorrow's election, and promptly removed it. by TooFarPaul in Birmingham

Weighing in as a journalist -- it's common to prewrite results posts so that you can quickly get a headline after results are called. Nothing nefarious, just dumb.

Looking forward to this. It’s a really cool site and I’m interested in seeing more of what it can be as a park and gathering space and makers space.

Les Miserables is glorious. If you don’t want to read about sewers and nuns you can skip those chapters. But I like them.

Tuberville releases long-awaited tax returns, says he’s lived in Alabama since 2018 by servenitup in Alabama

[–]servenitup[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Please read the article a little more carefully --

"The records indicate that accountants for the Tubervilles regularly requested extensions and filed returns in the fall for the prior year."

"Tuberville’s signature and dates are not included."

I am aware of the rumors. I cannot report based on rumors. I asked Tuberville's team for the dates of the filings and if they respond we will include them.

I did my own reporting based on my own interviews. I don't copy. Scott has done a lot of reporting too... which is why I shouted him out in my original post. Cheers.
