I suspect the 17% Marta budget overage is worse than described here: www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

MARTA blew fiscal year budget by nearly 17%, officials say
Overtime, operating costs result in MARTA exceeding fiscal year budget.

it would be good to see MARTA board members as concerned about their constant service cancellations, even after their route redesign, and to have a plan for fixing that. If the budget is inadequate, let's see some advocacy from them for their system. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

My job in 2015 had CNN on constantly, and it was wild how CNN would constantly platform established liars. When pinned down, Michael Cohen or Kellyanne Conway would just make stuff up, impossible to disprove in the moment. Day later, they’d be back on to do it again.

Georgia is set to execute a man named Stacey Humphreys in 3 days. 11 of his jurors voted for life without parole; the one holdout altered the foreperson’s note to the judge to hide the deadlock (!!) - because under Georgia law, a deadlock in a capital case automatically means a life sentence.

This is great. Current bike routing from (say) Piedmont Park to West end (heading South through downtown) has a lot of protected stretches but still some sketchy gaps where you are dealing with traffic.

When it comes to signing open letters about academic freedom, “We have to take a principled stand!” doesn’t work if there have been loads of other much more obvious and serious instances of violations of academic freedom to which you said absolutely nothing.

You know what? FOX 2 Detroit ended their high school essay contest in 1995 because of me. I was the last winner. A (white) teacher at another HS accused me and my (white) AP English teacher of cheating. Essay was "too long." Previous winners read their essays on TV. I only got to visit the studio.

It doesn’t matter whether “Matz is nice”
I’ve met Matz once, I think, at EuRuKo in Krakow in 2010. We chatted briefly in Japanese. He seemed nice, but also quiet and reserved. At the time, he didn’t speak much English; perhaps he could speak...

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.
