TMYK: CDC and Emory Campuses. We realize many outside ATL are confused as news reports this as the Emory University shooting. CDC headquarters, the Roybal campus, are across the street from Emory. As the Emory campus is much larger than CDC’s campus, the whole area is known locally as Emory.

Active shooter reported at Emory University, Atlanta, close to CDC headquarters.

#BREAKING: An active shooter has been reported on the Emory University campus, officials said.

There’s an active shooter at a building ancross the street from the main CDC HQ in Atlanta. I just received a photo from inside a CDC office building of a window full of bulletholes.

Stay safe, everyone. Emory's emergency-response office says the shooting is at the Emory Point CVS on Emory's Atlanta campus. x.com/EMORY_CEPAR/...

Pope Leo XIV has told over a million Catholic youths they are a sign that a different world is possible. Speaking at the closing Mass of the Jubilee of Youth, he emphasized resolving conflicts through dialogue, not weapons.

The White Sox won their 40th game of the season right before the deadline. Last year they won their 40th game on Sept. 28 against a hungover Tigers team, with Michael Soroka and Gus Varland pitching the final four innings. soxmachine.com/2025/07/whit...

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.

Ruben Selles has been appointed Sheffield United’s new manager following the departure of Chris Wilder. United confirmed they had parted company with Wilder on Wednesday and Selles was subsequently confirmed as his replacement on a three-year deal.

PBS is broadcasting the 36th annual National Memorial Day Concert in Washington, D.C., this Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. The concert features musical performances, documentary footage and stories in tribute to American veterans, servicemen and women and military families.

What I wouldn’t give for 4-hour high speed rail between ATL & NYC.

AP Style is barbecue. But even if you want to call it a barbeque, Bar-B-Q or BBQ, we’ve got you covered. See AP’s full guide to celebrating Memorial Day, from honoring those who served, to grilling tips and recipes, to “Mission Impossible.” apnews.com/entertainmen...

It’s been a day. My kid was in her 1st accident (as a driver… come to think of it, 1st accident, period). Thankfully, and all concerned were uninjured. I’m profoundly grateful that no one was injured but it’s the last thing she needs in the middle of finals.

Amazing coincidence….

A Sox fan becomes Pope, Sox win 4 of 5, go on their 1st 3 game win streak of the year, win first away series since September 2024. Just Sayin’ #WhiteSox sports.apple.com/us/event/umc...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says an "atmospheric river" event is set to hit Florida and other parts of the Southeast. The weather event typically occurs in the West.

Well this seems interesting…

Cubs haven’t won since they falsely claimed the Pope. Something to think about.

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline. That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production. Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.

White smoke is rising from the chimney of St Peter's Basilica — a new pope has been chosen.

Maybe its happened before this year but I am noticing how many email marketers have given me the option to opt out of Mothers Day & Fathers Day marketing, citing that they know it can be a difficult time. How many churches would not have it if their pastor led with the same sensitivity?
