10INVESTIGATES: Hundreds of deaths in custody are going unreported to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
That means the two most recent reports — produced under state law — are nowhere near accurate.
Here's our full investigation @WBIR:

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Is MARTA ready for the World Cup? I rode around to find out.
Tons of new signage, police + crowd control measures… but most stations along the red + gold lines have at least one fare gate entrance wide open. @11AliveNews

First the AJC and AP layoffs and now the Atlanta Civic Circle is shutting down. The last year and a half for local journalism in GA has truly been devastating to watch
SAD THREAD: Maybe you’ve heard the news: @AtlantaCivicCircle is going under. It’s another casualty of the current, unforgiving journalism ecosystem — a loss that will leave Atlanta with, by my math, ZERO dedicated housing reporters. Let’s talk about what that means... (1/)

This is sad news for the Georgia State Capitol Press Corps. #gapol
Especially Jeff Amy's knowledge of the state budget, state retirement system and his ability to ask knowledgeable and pointed questions of state leaders.
It is sadly the latest round of cuts to State Capitol coverage.

Nearly 13,000 air traffic controllers have been working without pay for weeks, ensuring the safety of more than 50,000 daily operations across the national airspace system (NAS).
As we head into this weekend, a surge in callouts is straining staffing levels at multiple facilities, leading to widespread impacts across the NAS. Currently, half of our Core 30 facilities are experiencing staffing shortages, and nearly 80 percent of air traffic controllers are absent at New York–area facilities.
After 31 days without pay, air traffic controllers are under immense stress and fatigue.
The shutdown must end so that these controllers receive the pay they’ve earned and travelers can avoid further disruptions and delays.
As we continue to reiterate, we will never compromise on safety. When staffing shortages occur, the FAA will reduce the flow of air traffic to maintain safety. This may result in delays or cancellations.
For real-time updates at U.S. airports due to staffing, weather, or other factors, please visit nasstatus.faa.gov and check with your airline before going to the airport.
