Randoms are trolling me bc I want police riding on MARTA.. folks it happens in other cities & it works. You’re ok w/ cameras everywhere to sell your images to AI companies but not an actual human to deter & protect? So.. more cameras nobody monitors instead of a human?

Hackers are utterly incapable of hacking shit that would actually benefit people. Want them to hack the FAFSA to get rid of student loans?? Sorry their too busy hacking cartoon studios and threatening to release something people were already planning on watching

[Anthony LaMesa @ajlamesa]

Just walked through the Decatur MARTA station, where both entrances are still wide open, and there’s no visible police or staff presence.

What’s exceptional about MARTA — and it’s been like this for years — is that the stations often have no uniformed presence at all. Passengers are the only people there.

In other systems, such as WMATA, there’s at least a transit employee in a booth by the fare gates.

Where are the MARTA employees? In offices? I rarely see anyone at all.

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

But I thought transit brings crime but clearly the problem lies with yall

@betterATL @barely_th3re They should have focused full energy and resources on one at time rather than multiple revamps at once.

I know this is hindsight being 20/20.

Another reason for why good public transportation is necessary is because old people need to be able to get around safely, without being in danger and without endangering other people

@atlurbanist How did glass only doors make the cut?! Smh

[Jose Prosopio @jprosopio1980]

Recruiting has been one of Atlanta United’s biggest failures for years. The front office has relied far too much on statistical data instead of properly scouting and evaluating players. Numbers can support decisions, but they cannot be the entire recruitment strategy.

Emmanuel Latte Lath is the most obvious example. Atlanta paid $22 million for a forward who has looked nowhere near the level expected and has failed to adapt to MLS.

Now the pressure is on Mauricio Culebro to finally change this culture. Atlanta doesn’t need more expensive signings — it needs smarter recruitment, better talent identification, and players that actually fit the system. The club has to stop wasting money and start building a competitive roster with smaller budgets and smarter decisions.

In the short term, this team also has to start looking more like what Tata Martino wants on the field. That means tough decisions need to be made. Several players have already been given enough opportunities to prove themselves and have consistently underperformed. Atlanta cannot continue rewarding mediocrity while expecting different results every season.🔴⚫️

@AjDuxche You can’t disrespect someone like that after a tense clash then turn your back.

Gunna rapping while the USMNT stands behind him awkwardly…

A reveal video and all the guys coming out at once would have been better.

MomoCon 2026 is officially in the books! The rain, construction, and traffic couldn’t stop you all from coming out and making this our biggest year ever. MomoCon 2026 welcomed 67,277 unique attendees, with more than 180,000 total turnstile attendance across all 4 days!

In a few years, I think we will look back and realize that learning is like physical fitness in its simplicity and resistance to technology: in order to improve, you need to consistently do hard things without shortcuts.

Sell or cut LL. Josef on a short term deal in our rebuilding year.

[Felipe Cárdenas @FelipeCar]

I’m told that Josef Martínez and Club Tijuana have mutually parted ways; contract terminated.

The Venezuelan international is open to a move back to MLS.

[Pierce @cursive_kid]

@JoePatrick LL is first on the chopping block

[Niles Francis @NilesGApol]

Georgia might have its share of problems but we are truly blessed to be the only state where you can visit both Rome AND Athens without needing a passport ❤️

[ATLANTA SUPREMACIST @ATLsupremacist]

The epicenter of Atlantans who would actually USE more rail is Midtown

New rail connecting the existing N/S stations to E/W lines running West Midtown - Piedmont Park - Virginia Highlands and GT - North Ave - O4W would see more ridership than expanding MARTA to the suburbs
