@ai6yr In #Atlanta we have a yearly group ride during the Atlanta Cycling Festival called the donut ride! TL;DR they go to 3 or 4 different donut places around the city. The hardcore people get a donut at each of them (I do not do that part lest I vomit)!
'Let's be clear. #Atlanta, #Georgia is on a boil water advisory because local elected officials have chosen to prioritise the funding of violent police at the expense of local infrastructure, environmental safety and #democracy. #StopCopCity '
🧵 This weekend, during a crisis, #Atlanta's leaders were, after a bit of a delay, blasting information onto every social media platform they could find, yet found themselves unable to adequately inform the public. Why?
As background, starting on Friday evening, #Atlanta saw cascading failures of its water service yesterday due to broking water main transmission lines. Service is still being restored.
The "NotifyATL" text message alert system was not utilized. Screenshots of press releases with tiny text were posted on Instagram. Critical health and safety info were posted into the void on X/Twitter. Blurry screenshots (instead of KML/SHP/ArcView Online/GeoJSON) of boil water advisories were posted.
And on the other platforms, if the algorithm thought the info was "interesting, " you could view in-between the usual talking animals, videos of car wrecks, and bizarre adverts.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution sent out a memo to its staff and freelancers this week, banning them from making any public comment regarding the War in Gaza:
"Our operating principles also say you may support human rights with limitations."
What do you mean by "human rights with limitations"?
#FaniWillis#wins#primary
Willis now proceeds to November’s general #election, where she will face Courtney Kramer, a Republican lawyer who interned in the #Trump White House.
#FaniWillis defeated challenger Christian Wise Smith as she seeks another 4yr term as the top prosecutor in the #Atlanta area, acc/to an AP projection.
Another leading figure in the #Georgia#criminal case against #Trump, #FultonCounty Superior Court Judge Scott #McAfee was also on the ballot Tues, seeking his first full term since being appointed to the bench last year. That race has not yet been called.
@BobaFuttbucker@jimbolauski I could make an article saying "This Pizza In #Atlanta Is Awful"; accusing me of making it seem like there's more bad pizza in #Atlanta than there actually is is different than saying I'm accusing all #Atlanta pizza of being bad.
