Actually wild that only 2 people voted against the TAD extension. Ofc, I’m not surprised. They’re the real people’s champions
NEW: @AtlCouncil passed two big measures today — the controversial (but heavily retooled) TAD extension ordinance, and the nearly $1B operating budget
Both papers had two dissenters, CMs Kelsea Bond and Liliana Bakhtiari

Even if this schedule weren’t every weekend, could we at least get a MARTA that didn’t cut service *in half* every weekend.
This should be every weekend. Would be every bit as transformative as Beltline being completed

My question: when is the single tracking track work taking place?
MARTA insists it can only happen during the day on weekends… which is why they claim to cut service
Is there no “state of good repair” work happening for 30 days?

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

I don’t really care if guys wanna write bible verses on their hats, nothing wrong with that, but most guys aren’t writing it on their hat every game. It’s only when it’s the pride hat. And that’s when it goes from being religious to being hateful, and then they play dumb about it

Being homeless doesn’t mean you deserve to die. It doesn’t mean you deserve to be mistreated. It means you deserve housing.

This is the new Dickens sign I was talking abt btw…
Jun 11
Got off at Edgewood Ave exit yesterday, and saw a digital “welcome to ATL. I’m Andre Dickens” sign.
Turn right, and there’s 6 people in the street, going car to car, begging for $. Including a woman, in wheelchair, w/ 1 leg
I’d like Dickens to focus on that. Not cheap signs.

This is just bonkers. These are all goals and timetables that MARTA made *for themselves*
It looks like they missed literally all of them.
It’s bonkers, because literally none of this was forced upon them.

I’m all for safety, and I’m glad they’re taking it seriously.
At the same time, jfc.
This is so embarrassing. If MARTA was good at comms, they could maybe explain what of this is their fault vs Stadler’s. Instead, they’ll just keep dripping out bad news.

BREAKING: There is no timetable for MARTA’s new CQ400 train cars to go into service. The GM just said they still have “several” safety reports they must complete before GDOT can certify them.
MARTA previously said 5-7 trains would be ready by World Cup. @ATLNewsFirst

Actually, the NCAA can very easily prevent Brendan Sorsby from playing lol
All it takes is one statement that reads “if Brendan Sorsby so much as plays a single down for Texas Tech, not only does Texas Tech forfeit every game of that season but their entire athletics program is permanently barred from competing for NCAA Championships in any sport.”
They could put that out there with about two minutes of work, and then enforce it by simply never allowing Texas Tech to be selected for the CFP or NCAA Tournament in any sport ever again.
Beyond a bunch of oil barons and the few thousand people who rely on their money in West Texas needing to find a new hobby, there’s absolutely zero downside to this. Sometimes, there just needs to be a sacrificial lamb. It’s called a deterrent. And when someone disrupts the natural flow of society badly enough, you need to hold a public execution to remind the masses that the very idea of law and order still exists. College sports will survive just fine without the presence of a historically irrelevant athletics program that’s third fiddle in its own state.

From the ruling, the NCAA is cannot prevent Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby from "practicing, playing or otherwise participating on Texas Tech's football team for the 2026 season."
