Has anyone else noticed the MARTA trains have free wifi now? We're entering the 21st century!

CBS is definitely doing some race baiting with this one. The delivery driver is a black worker harming a traditional symbol of white property (a way oversized and recently cut lawn) and posting this out despite Amazon already agreeing to damages. You can guess was the twitter replies are like.

I appreciate these journalists have to try to be fair to the lab leak conspiracy theorists, but damn is this weak for the anti-Fauci case. Oh during a briefing Fauci gave a little of his own opinion? When did "briefing" mean no words coming from the person briefed? Gabbard has nothing here.

Always a good idea to diversify one's financial press intake. I normally follow Bloomberg, the FT, and CNBC, but Wall Street Journal is presenting a good way to think about how stock based compensation makes company financials look a LOT better than they are in tech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrJz...

Its funny that by their own chart Brexit is one of if not the single most important reform. And also that none of the reforms include changes to the tax system to make it more efficient (like we're not going to model the impact of making the tax system more Georgist?)

I exclusively use Türkiye to refer to the bird eaten on Thanksgiving

Yep, y'all gotta earn multiple goods

Well glad a Georgia judge could easily see that prosecutions against Stop Cop City protestors were political. www.ajc.com/news/2026/06...

An interesting way in which drone warfare is effective (whether its in Lebanon, the Gulf, or Russia/Ukraine) is defenses against drones often do the damage for you. Friendly fire is a bitch

Why is David even assuming a slower redistricting would be better? Opinion writers say dumb stuff like this all the time pretending that the real complaint is process rather than political. Even in local papers, opinion pieces are largely worthless.

The reflecting pool saga is my favorite plot line of the Trump presidency. Completely unforced fuck up that embarrassingly exposes Trump isn't good even at the real estate work that he built his reputation on that isn't killing anybody. But if the paint peels off might get rid of the algae at least

You are not prepared for Shimon Riklin's response here.

OMG, it took me 20 minutes to get home on a trip that normally takes me 40 because the trains are so frequent on MARTA at 10:30 at night. We need this all the time!

Lololololololol

$20M spent so far

Really fascinating numbers here and OpenAI is burning a ton of cash to get its high revenue growth. And if trends don't change on the revenue growth and cost growth they're doomed to insane unprofitability. Though of course trends on both will change, generally with slowing on both.

Cheetos uses powders and oils?!?!?! SHOCKER! Next you'll tell me they aren't healthy for you! Instead, please consume the all natural raw milk products that give you diseases no one in the US has experienced for 100 years

Yes, exactly! While I still think there's a good chance this deal gets killed (most likely by Israel's "ceasefire means you cease, we fire" policy), either way the Democrats as a party are run by people who thought they could both quietly like attacking Iran and make Republicans lose votes with it.

HAWKS SECOND BEST TEAM IN THE NBA!!!

Yeah we're in a "anything anti-MARTA gets to print" news cycle. Because people have been getting hit by trains every few months the entire time I've rode MARTA but this is the first I've seen an AJC breaking alert about it. That said, BUILD PLATFORM SCREEN DOORS ALREADY! www.ajc.com/news/2026/06...

people like to ask "why are voters saying this?" instead of "why is this question being asked this way?"

Folks, your automatic dismissal of this is unwarranted and frankly dumb. 1) The decline is steepest among teens and under 25s meaning that if this paper is right, the decline is at least partially GOOD. 2) The study is only claiming at most half of the decline is smart phones. Economics matters.

This is a really interesting report about AI in coding that puts some harder figures on end results (except for the most elusive end result, which is revenue change vs cost notably). And if you follow AI reports its what you expect. Accelerating output AND failures. www.faros.ai/blog/ai-acce...

Every western empire is like "we're the 3rd Rome" and its like no bitch! We're on like Rome 9 by now.

NEW: Our visual analysis suggests the U.S. hit two drinking-water facilities overnight in southern Iran with precision-guided munitions. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime. w/ @ckoettl.bsky.social @johnismay.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...

Hey Fulton, Pitts and Morris listened to me and allies on this. They made it happen. Vote for them, not for the faux progressives who are in Dickens’s and Big Commercial’s pockets. Mo will undo fair data center taxation and also hand Andre the county’s TAD money. Budget and Jail crisis in 3,2,1.

Wouldn't the logical conclusion here be that the theory of "give Israel material support to influence their decision making" is more discredited by this example than "remove support from Israel to influence their decision making"? The anti-imperialist argument is we should stop supporting Israel.

@kelseabondatl.bsky.social Here's a good tool to talk about the possible results of TAD extension (with the caveat that higher numbers mean LESS money for APS as that's redirected to Invest Atlanta). This might be the clearest explanation of the problem of TAD extensions I've seen!

Trump does seem like he's flailing now. I'm generally skeptical the US government doesn't approve Israeli strikes, but Yemen is closing Bab al Mandab and Trump really doesn't want high gas prices. But if the US doesn't start treating Israel like the rogue state it is they'll keep the wars going.

Oh cool, turns out Hunter Biden is a crypto shill. Can we stop with all the "Hunter Biden is based!!!!" bs now?

The war is back on

He would be rude enough to interrupt game coverage like that wouldn't he?

Stoller is great example that its not enough to be upset with corporations, but you also need to keep the critique focused to the actually wrong actions and the actual decision makers, not the people doing jobs that help them be powerful (which is literally every employee).

"Hey the strait of Hormuz is closed, global oil and fertilizer have been cut by like 15%!" Wallstreet: Eh, who cares? Talk to me when something important happens. "Oh, turns out US job growth has been above expectations the past 3 months." Wallstreet: WHAT THE FUCK MAN?! GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!

I feel betrayed by the "mayor" of Flavortown. How can you earn that title if you never swallow?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F76...

It takes very little knowledge that the "ceasefire agreement" wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. A person simply had to know that it was Hezbollah, not the Lebanese government, fighting Israel.

Lebanon's army hasn't even fired a single bullet at Israel yet, literally who gives a shit what they agree to if Hezbollah isn't on board?

There has been a big shift in the US since COVID towards saying scientists are the cause of disease spread in order to make sure politicians never have to take blame for ignoring science-based public health policies.

Going to be an interesting story that comes out one day on how this got screwed up. Right now seems like Stadler and MARTA doing a bit of finger pointing at each other, and I'm sure there's some blame on each but I bet one party screwed up way more.

Technically speaking...isn't all embezzling a crime that's based on what someone chose to spend an organization's cash on?

It's 1985. IDF troops are getting harassed by hezbollah fire after a "decisive" invasion It's 1999. IDF troops are getting harassed by hezbollah fire after a "decisive" invasion It's 2024. IDF troops are getting harassed by hezbollah fire after a "decisive" invasion It's 2026,

Yep. Just remember folks, nostalgia makes you dumber. Live in the now! And remember real enshitification is about the trade off between user enjoyment/security and profitability, not "things I experienced with less life context and that stuck in my memory are better than average things now".

If you want a picture of the future, imagine:

I think some folks get fooled by appearances of naturalness into thinking adding solar panels to fields is worse than doing it over parking (see the replies for sources showing agricultural solar can benefit crops). But best results are replacing parking lots with buildings with solar being 2nd best

I love how the conservatives are crying "but muh property rights!" and the First Nation folks get to go "the fuck you talking about? We're applying YOUR property right laws!"

I think that's how most Republicans are thinking, but I don't think we can discount the possibility that the Midwest may be aligning more right as the most successful sunbelt states trend left. A map where WI, PA, MI, NC go red and GA, AZ, NV go blue with Texas deciding isn't totally crazy right now

But I had it in wade mode!

The Ebola outbreak is already 3rd worst on record—despite it being discovered just 10 days ago And here’s how Trump cuts have hampered to response: -There was no PPE -Few tests -Locals orgs that usually help have closed And btw outbreak has gone international www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/w...

#StupidSuez has been the easiest win for Oman in perhaps its entire history (which is saying something since Oman is the one GCC state with a real history)
