A map of the existing MARTA system

Very excited to see what you all come up with for this: As we look at the future of MARTA, @ajc.com wants to see your MARTA dream map. Take this image, draw the rail or BRT lines you’d like to see and then send it back to us. We plan on featuring maps in future coverage: www.ajc.com/news/2025/10...

I oppose Nazis on the streets of Athens, Georgia.

Things that need to be said in the Year of Our Lord 2025.

A MARTA train

Early MARTA plans called for 97 miles of rail across five counties. For @ajc.com, I did a deep-dive into why that and other ideas never fully came to fruition: www.ajc.com/news/2025/10...

GDOT: C’mon, just FOUR more lanes, bro.
And they’re tolled, so they’re not for the poors.
And buses can use them, so that ACKSHULLY makes this a transit project.
And we’re very proud of that.

The sign that captures my mood. #NoKings #Portland

MARTA! I WANT TO PAY MY BUS FARE! LET ME PAY MY BUS FARE!!

Be Peaceful. Be Alert. Be Safe, and look out for one another today. There will be agitators in the crowd because they want to find one viral video so they can label all opposition “terrorism” and crack down. Do not give it to them!

good morning, Go Dawgs

Referendum:

I’m almost always against tax exemptions. I get this would help seniors age-in-place easier, but I think there are other avenues for people who need help. This one seems like it would benefit many who don’t need it and I dislike reducing the tax base for those who don’t need the help.

Caveat: I’m getting these from my partner, who is in law school and whose opinion on these things I trust greatly, but I don’t have significant knowledge of these sorts of things outside of what she’s told me.

Judges:

Baker had a complaint against her but I think it was mostly small things that were more she-didn’t-know-better at the very beginning of her term. Something to note, but I’m still voting yes.

Gundy has BAD complaints and was almost removed from the bench by SCOGA. I’ll be voting no.

If you're going to a No Kings march instead of a witty sign that might elicit a chuckle maybe you could just carry an American flag

I’m in no particular rush, so whenever it’s done works for me. Hopefully a few other members of the Atlanta Bluesky community will want to move local as well!

Thank you! Does this work for migrating my current account as well? Using a tool like PDS Moover or @tektite.cc?

Imagine getting to listen to Mexican announcers call the game in Mexico with the passion of a Mexican soccer commentator. Or Brazil!

Or the German/English/Irish styles. Those certainly aren’t as exciting as the other two, but it’d be fun to see the difference for the audience of a different sport.

The international NFL games are so fun but I want the option to listen to local commentators. It doesn’t have to be the only option, but having that local flair would be so cool! It doesn’t have to be great if the gimmick is good, it just has to be serviceable.

No, pls stop, Auburn

If there’s one thing I don’t miss about SEC on CBS, it’s SEC on CBS

Tech’s helmets are kinda great today. 10/10

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

Amazing! Thank you so much!

@welcometo.theatl.social @michael.theatl.social

Long shot, but any way y’all would consider something closer to $5/month for only account hosting on theatl.social’s PDS and nothing else?

I do this but on the stove and cook it for 30-45 seconds on the stove to get a great crust before popping it in the oven!

Oh this is cool! Are there any plans to add other lexicons in the future? I would love to be able to use something like statusphere to see a friend’s current status, for example.

@flutterby.blue

I think I’m officially too old to stay up until midnight on Taylor Swift release night 😴

@skeetsapp.com has it for all feeds and it works really well!

@boostblue.bsky.social has it for the following feed (and maybe other feeds as well? Not sure.)

The new look is great!

I’m seeing an issue (and have been for a while) where clicking the top of the screen to scroll all the way up while in the in-app browser won’t scroll up in the browser but will scroll all the way up in the feed I was browsing.

Not sure if it’s an iOS bug or a Skeets bug.

Oh, you don’t like the falcon’s clock management, JJ? Welcome to the club.

No. And just waiting for the falcons to put me out of my misery
