Thank you for this! I’d share the video of my girlfriend surprising me with this but there are too many shouts of “are you _____ kidding me?!?”

At approximately 8:45 pm the UGA Police Department Communications Center received a call of a shooter in the area of the UGA Library.  Officers quickly responded and searched the area.  A preliminary investigation suggests the event was a hoax, but officers remain in the vicinity

@milo_phd Great work by @ribunchreports!

“I would call it stealth—where the idea is to move in silence,” said @milo_phd. “Where you are being active, you’re being strategic, but you just don’t feel the need to draw lots of attention... I would like to believe that is what Mayor Dickens is doing.”

At a webinar tonight, Atlanta Beltline is sharing their recommendations for the location of transit stations in the Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast parts of the Beltline (and transit alignment in the NW). Tuesday, Aug 12, 2025 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM https://t.co/1UwIyJIojo

His campaign (?) website is live and says to "stay tuned for big updates on Vernon’s next mission to serve YOU!"

Trump loyalist Vernon Jones, who has blocked me on here, has posted a video of himself walking around the Georgia Capitol with the caption "I stand ready to serve wherever I can to advance President Trump’s America First Agenda... STAY TUNED."

ICYMI: Atlanta City Council member Jason Dozier has been hit twice by cars while biking in the city -- the most recent time with his 4-yr-old daughter in tow. The crash highlighted the risks of navigating Atlanta's car-forward streets on a bike. #atlpol

Oakland Cemetery — the final resting place of Bobby Jones, Maynard Jackson, Kenny Rogers and others — is Atlanta's most exclusive place to spend the afterlife (burial plots have mostly only been available through private sales for roughly 140 years).

Before federal regulators accused Brant Frost IV of orchestrating a $140 million Ponzi scheme, the Newnan businessman and his family built trust in conservative circles by tapping into something deeper than market pitches. He sold ideology.

@axio It's @axios, not axio. I won't pay for an edit button, X!

Experts tell @axio the move could spur landlords who accept vouchers and are facing rising property taxes or upkeep costs to switch to market-rate tenants, short-term rentals or sales. The end result: more housing instability and fewer affordable units.

The U.S. House votes final passage of the Rescissions Act of 2025, which would claw back $9 billion of allocated federal funds, including $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. WABE receives about 10% of its funding from CPB. #gapol

Excellent @Emma_Hurt story on @ATLairport and how the "world's busiest" title is a blessing and a curse

Saw my first one of the @lyft/@May_Mobility autonomous vehicles rolling around Midtown yesterday. (Photo: via Lyft CEO @davidrisher's Linkedin post) https://t.co/wXsyzYMk6a

The official @TSA post-screening bench

Benavidez, of @freepress, told @thomaswheatley @axios that the case "is emblematic of a pervasive nat'l effort to undermine diversity of speech & to delegitimize the viewpoints of those fighting for equity, human rights, & progress generally."

Pornhub, Youporn and other adult websites, citing Georgia’s new age-verification law, went dark today.

Meteor events like the one we apparently saw today in Atlanta only happen three to five times a year in the U.S., @amsmeteors tells @axios.

Atlanta goes bizarro at least once a day

Took a ride in the robotaxi! My takeaway: It's seamless and relaxing until the car makes an abrupt left turn down a side street to avoid an unexpected obstacle (in my case, traffic cones and a wood chipper in the road).
