CeeLo Green on Gnarls Barkley’s Atlanta-inspired final album: ‘I feel relieved’ Atlanta native CeeLo Green discusses Gnarls Barkley’s final album “Atlanta,” the duo’s legacy, past controversies and the creative process behind their long-awaited return.

CeeLo Green talks about how riding MARTA as a kid inspired the new Gnarls Barkley single "Pictures": "I would just ride the train to the furthest stop then turn around and come back. I maybe had to do it two or three times. I’d sit and talk to myself, imaginary friends." www.ajc.com/arts-enterta...

Same start, different finish: Comparing the Seattle transit system to MARTA What can be learned from Seattle, as MARTA continues to struggle delivering projects, expanding the system and, now, is in search of new leadership.

How did Seattle, the city once left in Atlanta’s dust, come to lead the nation in rail development? My colleague @mlbaruchman.bsky.social explains: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Bill would limit future transit referendums in Cobb, Gwinnett counties Metro Atlanta counties would have to wait 8 years to put transit on the ballot after a failed vote.

GSU’s collection is incredible!

‘We’re lucky to be alive’ after MARTA train hits fallen tree Train 308 hit a tree about the size of a utility pole that had fallen across the tracks. Video from inside the train shows the impact and the aftermath.

UPDATE: @saraegregory.bsky.social got the video.

That's a train filled with passengers running head-first into a tree trunk the size of a telephone pole.

"'We’re lucky to be alive,' one rider says.

'Yes, we are — very lucky to be alive,' the operator replies."

When I think about measles I think about the number 1,000. Thats the number that epidemiologists use to explain harm from measles in children. With 1,000 cases, about 200 children will require hospitalization, 50 will develop pneumonia, and one to three will die.

South Carolina is at 789.

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be
counting his bullet wounds.”

Eastside Beltline light rail work secretly halted last year A group made up of officials with the city of Atlanta, the Beltline and MARTA made the decision in a closed-door meeting without ever informing the public.

"All eyes have been on this project, and this project is pretty much the linchpin to a lot of other things to take place... It’s almost like a unilateral decision that was made by a few individuals on a widely watched project."

- Atlanta City Council member Byron Amos

Epstein Files Include 1996 Child Porn Complaint That F.B.I. Ignored

“I’ve waited 30 years,” said a woman who filed a complaint to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein's interest in “child pornography” in 1996, about a decade before investigators began scrutinizing him. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...
