When Elon Musk speaks, it enrages me. I just can’t stand him. Wake up America and fight back.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Since the topic of power grab is fresh on everyone’s mind, I encourage my fellow Atlantans to educate themselves on what’s happening with the mayor’s proposed changes to the Office of the Inspector General. It was a hot topic in tonight’s NPU D meeting. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/01/28/a...

Congress Street. Charleston, SC: The house where my grandfather grew up. The porch has a lovely subtle bow to it. Hoping the redevelopment of the upper peninsula discovers the beauty of Congress Street, and this home is restored to its former glory. A family of 9 once flourished here.

Filled with love for my mom today. Six months ago, she died peacefully as I stood next to her. I remember taking a deep breath as she took her last. It was both devastating and beautiful. She was giggly and fun, and I will forever be grateful that I was with her in that moment.

20+ years of hotel design, and I still find the Atlanta Marriott marquis as one of the most magical hotel lobbies I’ve ever seen. I’m obsessed with 1970’s Atrium hotels. Found this older Bloomberg article by Anthony Paletta that is a nice primer on the subject. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I’m begging the film industry to please make an Indiana Jones-esque movie about this giant cursed emerald that’s been stored in the LA sheriff’s office for 15 years. Could also be a Slow Horse version. Either way you make it, I’m watching! www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/1...
