Today marks the anniversary of the Battle of Atlanta, fought on July 22, 1864, during the American Civil War.

It was one of the war's most significant battles and had a lasting impact on the history of Atlanta and the United States.

The Capital of the South strikes again. 🔥

Atlanta just unveiled revised plans for TWO major new towers next to Buckhead MARTA station.

Think about what this represents:

🏙️ 560,000 square feet of development
🚇 Steps from rail transit
🚶 Connected to PATH400
🌳 Adjacent to the future HUB404 park
📈 More density in the heart of Buckhead

While some cities are still debating whether to grow, Atlanta keeps building.

The Capital of the South isn't just growing—it's becoming one of North America's premier urban success stories. 🌎

#Atlanta #ATL #Georgia #Buckhead

Atlanta is getting a new soccer map ahead of the FIFA World Cup to help visitors explore the city's soccer culture.

Local artist Joseph Veazey created the map, highlighting soccer bars, fields, fan groups, and other soccer-related spots across Atlanta.

USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop.

I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls.

Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A man near me is eating a cold sandwich while wearing a jacket. In summer. Indoors.

In Japan we would simply turn it down. Americans do not turn it down. And now I understand them better than they understand themselves.

This cold is not an accident. This cold is a gift.

The owner has built, inside his shop, a second season. He invites you in from the brutal heat and hands you the one thing the sun has denied you all day: a reason to be cold. To endure it is to be tempered. You walk in soft and sweating. You walk out sharp and clear, a slightly stronger person than you were.

So I did not complain. I removed my outer layer and offered it to the woman at the next table, who was hugging herself. She said, "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you." She was not fine. Her lips were blue. But she, too, understood the training. She would not break first. I respected her deeply.

The owner asked if everything was okay.

"It is perfect," I said, through my teeth, which were chattering. "Thank you for the winter."

He said, "...I can turn the AC down if you want?"

I told him no. A man does not ask the mountain to be shorter.

I stayed two hours. I ordered a hot coffee to survive. Then a second one, to hold. By the end I could no longer feel my hands, but my spirit had never been clearer.

So now, on the hottest days, I seek out the coldest rooms. I sit. I shiver. I sharpen.

And when I finally step back out into the summer heat, and it wraps around me like a warm bath, I feel it.

Reborn.

A man who has survived the winter, in August, indoors, for the price of a sandwich.

The fact that the Atlanta political establishment and the business community has acted so blasé towards the objectively embarrassing and dangerous conditions of MARTA shows that they have no business being in their current roles

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it.

Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.

Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress.

Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves.

I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.

Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data. In a context where the wealth of nations depends increasingly on knowledge and technology, when these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods. In turn, it widens the gap between the included and the excluded, between those who can participate in the digital revolution and those who remain on the margins. #MagnificaHumanitas

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Pope Leo XIV on AI:

“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”

[Silicon Valley Fodder @Playerinthgame]

It’s a coup. A literal soft coup. Eventually everyone will figure this out and start using this word. But it’s taking a really long time.
