The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Everyone is understandably sharing the Miller quote, but I found this response from photographer Christopher Anderson to be notable, too.

You know how I know Mayor Dickens’s “plan” for a new heavy rail transit station at Armour Yards is a crackpot, back-of-the-napkin scam? Because when MARTA hired an independent expert to study ridership, the new bus routes *** completely bypass the area ***.

. @ajc.com barely mentions $1.9 billion+ subsidy this project will receive & doesn't mention the new $200M+ if TAD/TIF extension goes thru. Downtown residential development in Atlanta is a good thing, but no deeply affordable housing (& little even moderately affordable) in location perfect for it.

My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”

Hell yeah Atlanta

Unbelievable…

Bluesky rn

Dude Valdosta/Lowndes went +30D I feel like I’ve lost my damn mind lmao these guys fucked up electricity rates so bad that they have a small racist metro area in South Georgia voting like Massachusetts

If I didn't show up to work for seven weeks, my boss would assume I had quit my job and would have hired someone else. House Democrats should take outside-the-box action. Declare the Republicans as having abandoned their jobs. Elect a new "Speaker". Have a Court fight over it.

REPUBLICANS: “Jimmy Kimmel was not a free speech issue. It was a private decision.” TRUMP: “I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL THAT SHOW! NOW I’M GONNA TAKE ALL THE FREE SPEECH ABC HAS! NO MORE SAYING WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME” REPUBLICANS: “It is ridiculous to imply we are the party of censorship.”

Atlanta should install 28 miles of protected bike lanes before the World Cup, then leave them in place & enhance where necessary afterwards. You should be able to roll safely from every quadrant of the Atlanta Beltline to Mercedes Benz Stadium. @jasondozier.bsky.social @westmorelandatl.bsky.social

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

please stop sending me this

people learning that there’s a word to describe the consolidation of wealth and political control among the few is only a bad thing if you’d like that trend of wealth and political control to continue

The Atlanta snake eating itself: "Let's fix our car-centric urbanism to boost MARTA ridership" "No, MARTA stinks. Fix that first, then we'll talk urbanism" "Maybe do both? Quickly increasing operations funding for MARTA is politically inviable" "I don't care. Fix MARTA first" [Nothing happens]

I was recently asked how I got involved. I just began; one ride, one yes at a time. Started a BikeBus, tuned up neighbors’ bikes, joined local talks on safer streets for all. You don’t need a title. Just take a step. Then another. That’s how change rolls forward. #BikeBus #CyclingForAll

Alarming!!

Georgia GOP legislators push 11th hour surprise to further shield themselves from open records law

The Georgia Legislature is trying to sneak through a law to effectively create secret police in this state. The changes in the bill, if passed, would gut the Georgia Open Records Act. My understanding is that it puts initial incident reports by police off limits.

Daniel Barnett, a property developer and "activist" on Auburn Avenue who goes by the name DaVinci Barcelo, apparently went through Old Wheat Street slashing tents today. I just got a call from the attorney representing the man who was killed in the homeless encampment clearance there in January.

Donald Shoup was a guest on the third ever episode of Adam Ruins Everything, “Adam Ruins Cars.” He was so generous with his time and so game to do a silly scene with us. RIP to a wonderful man and advocate youtu.be/skm6hp99-5A?...

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

It's amazing that all cities don't do this.

A Georgia man is sentenced to 20 years in prison for running down a cyclist with his vehicle. Good. Spread this message: violence against cyclists can result in prison time. Even in Georgia. www.fox5atlanta.com/news/newnan-...

Get yourself a boss who replies 'nice email' when she can tell you've been agonizing over wording.

Have I ever mentioned that I love #MARTA? Sincerely: I laughed all the way back to the office from lunch about this, and had some warm interactions with my fellow riders 😄🥕

Because apparently the safety of children infringes on the right to go Vroom 🤦‍♂️ Georgia Rep. proposes new bill to ban traffic cameras in school zones www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

not this making me emotional youtu.be/gNty2y0DQN8?...

Nice! It looks like the ped/bike bridge from the Beltline to Ansley Mall is finished. Wouldn't it be an amazing thing if Ansley Mall became less of a suburban-style, car-centric place and more of an urban one?

It takes 70 to 90 minutes to travel between two Floridian cities with a combined population of 700,000 using public transit—a journey that would take just 24 minutes by car.

The B-wing ys by far the cooleste Star Wars starfighter. Lyke, it ys not even a contest.

So, reality is starting to set in with consumers of the things that economists warned them about all during the election last year. www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

NEW: There's been a 51-percent drop in injuries an a 55-percent drop in crashes year-over-year within the congestion relief zone in just the first 12 days of the program. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/23/c...

Why? Because protecting the nonmotorist from the motorist would require work to counter the natural inbalance of force in the relationship. Protecting the weak from the strong is work. And in much of the US at least, we've decided that's just too hard. 6/6

It's snowing!! 🌨️

Heartbreaking. A day after MLK's birthday, a block from Ebenezer Baptist where he was minister, a homeless person is killed by a public works vehicle as the city clears an encampment. "Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children" www.11alive.com/video/news/l...

Urbanism is the radical idea that people who are not in cars still count as people.

Decided I'd pick Trombone back up after giving up early in my music education. Glad to say the basics came right back to me. It felt so nice when I played a very simple song along with the tutorial and could hear that I was in tune. #music

Downtown Atlanta #Photography #StreetPhotography #Atlanta

we’ve had a congestion charge in London for decades, it’s great, and New Yorkers who whine about it are simply conceding that their puny subway is no match for the mighty Tube

LFG!!!!!!!!!
