Saturday August 2nd :: RAGE AGAINST THE REGIME :: Protest March - 10:30 AM

 

#Marta needs to clean up the Midtown station! I saw two roavhes while waiting for the train.

And yes, I have reported the issue.

 

Public media is facing its most immediate and serious threat yet.

The House has passed a rescissions package that would claw back $1.1 billion in public media funding already approved by law. If enacted, the impact on local stations would be swift and severe.

The Senate will take up the bill next. Send a message now urging your Senators to vote against rescinding public media funding.

Clawing back this funding – about $1.60 per person each year – wouldn’t just force stations to scale back – it would dismantle essential services that countless communities count on.

I would start with telling him how you feel and seeing how he reacts. Part of a healthy relationship is having things you do together and separate. I wouldn't play fortnite if you don't like it or at least not everytime. That might help him understand the feeling.

How long have you been together? Also early 20's is definitely a time were people are still discovering who they are. It can be a self focused time too before adult responsibility sets in.

Can we start with affordable housing?

It's kind of wild that they're more confident in a second term.

That does make sense about ride share lowering the barrier to entry and not having to lock the bike up.

That's fair. I think I've just rode in mostly suburban environments in areas with frequent rain were they'd be impractical.

a vehicle that was supposed to be the culmination of Elon Musk's genius.

I'd argue that it is the culmination of Elon Musk's genius.

All those hours playing Among us put to such excellent use.

Does anyone know what other cities are building similar networks? Or how to get started doing it in your city?

Pinot & Period Party (events.chateauelan.com)
 

Join Kristin Klingshirn and Chateau Elan for an afternoon of community, connection, and giving back at the Pinot & Period Party. This special event supports the incredible work of Helping Mamas, Georgia’s baby supply bank, which serves nearly 60,000 children each year and distributes over 2 million essential items to families across the state.

Helping Mamas is dedicated to ending diaper need and period poverty—one donation, one care kit, one mama at a time. That’s where you come in.

At this open volunteer event, guests are invited to drop off donations of period products—pads, liners, and tampons—and help assemble period kits for women and teens in need. While you give back, enjoy a glass of wine and live music by DJ Willie T from Q99.7 in the beautiful Pavilion at Chateau Elan.

No tickets or RSVP are required—just bring your generosity and join us on May 4th at 2 p.m. as we support women, uplift our local community, and make a meaningful impact together.

A qualification for this role and being employed by the Beltline should be surrendering your driver's license.

It depends on how old you were when you were a kid and now. I would recommend getting your vaccination history and discussing it with your doctor. The vaccines do wane in effectiveness over time.

It's disappointing to see the article only mention the cost of such upgrades. The value is enormous as well. Upgrading the busiest rail line in the country would have a positive impact on many many people for decades to come.
