No, the issue is X no longer supports free speech. If you’re on a platform that throttles content critical of its Nazi-saluting billionaire owner you cannot communicate with the “Georgians who need to see it.” It’s that simple.

As a subscriber and follower, please begin posting more videos and content here. Most of us are now off of X (for the very reasons you experienced last evening). Thanks.

Tribute: “He was a great man who played great men.” Atlanta’s theater community mourns the loss of the Atlanta acting icon, who died December 3 at age 75 after a prolonged battle with prostate cancer.

My latest for Atlanta magazine: This Chris Kayser appreciation easily could have been 20k words filled with loving remembrances from the entirety of the city’s theater community. That’s how loved this man was. www.atlantamagazine.com/arts-events/...

Holiday PSA: You are under no obligation to spend time with people who voted to threaten your wellbeing, your workplace protections and your relationship.

So you’re uncomfortable with homosexuals living publicly the same way you do. Maybe it’s time to ask yourself why that is. And maybe get a therapist.

Looks like you’re lost. Here you go: x.com/i/flow/login...

Delighted to see you on here. Welcome!

It’s a mess out there, y’all. Glad to be here on this fresh platform, with all of you. Better South. Better America. Better World. Let’s get to work. Let’s go.

Welcome back to sanity! Glad you’re over here now.

So many people loved the downtown Rich’s. Atlanta has lost so many holiday traditions. It was great reporting on one that is returning!

The Pink Pig, a favorite Atlanta holiday tradition since 1956, returns Nov. 23 Once the fog of childhood nostalgia lifts, many Atlantans are prone to admit that one of the city’s oldest holiday traditions—the riding of Rich’s department store’s famed Pink Pig—was also pretty dam...
