Triplets Head to Medical School

The Kashlan triplets—Adam, Rommi, and Zane—are headed to medical school.

The brothers were co-valedictorians of West Forsyth High School in Cumming at age 16, and graduated early with neuroscience degrees from Georgia Tech in 2022.

They’ve conducted research at Harvard and Yale-affiliated labs since then.

Adam and Rommi will attend Emory, while Zane will study at the University of Michigan. All three plan to use medicine to serve the community.

Gators Caught in Bibb County

Bibb County received visits from two alligators this week, including a six-footer found in a suburban yard Friday and a massive 12-footer found at an industrial park Saturday.

Both animals were captured by animal enforcement officer Rebecca Galeazzo, who needed backup for the larger gator after it “put up a fight.” They were returned to the wild.

Wildlife officials say territorial disputes and the spring mating season can drive alligators into unfamiliar territory.

College Teams Strike Out

The college baseball seasons for Georgia and Georgia Tech came to an end over the weekend, with the teams losing in NCAA Tournament regional play.

The No. 7-ranked Bulldogs won their first game against Binghamton and then lost to Duke and Oklahoma State in the regional in Athens. “None of us saw this coming. We planned to play for a long time,” Georgia second baseman Slate Alford said.

The Yellow Jackets beat Western Kentucky before losing to Murray State and Ole Miss in the regional tournament in Oxford, Mississippi. They marked the final games for longtime coach Danny Hall, who is retiring.

Emmy-Winning Founders Flip the Script on Hollywood

Hollywood said no. 50,000+ fans said yes.

After hitting 800+ theaters last February, My Dead Friend Zoe quickly became one of the year’s best-reviewed films. Starring Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, Ed Harris, and Morgan Freeman, it boasts a 🍅95% Rotten Tomatoes score, making it one of the best-reviewed movies in Morgan Freeman’s career.

The interesting thing is…the movie was developed, financed, and produced by Legion M—a movie studio OWNED BY FANS.

How does it work? At most studios, a handful of execs decide what gets made. At Legion M, fans lead the way. They believe people like you, who buy the tickets and pay the subscriptions, know what’s best, so they open the doors for you to own early-stage stock in the studio, get red-carpet perks, and have a seat at the table deciding what gets made.

They might be onto something. In just the past few months, Legion M has:

Released one of the year’s best-reviewed films
Closed a 7-figure international rights deal with Universal
Paid out over $1M in royalties to investors

With 54,000+ investors on board (plus a billion-dollar producer, award-winning stars, and current/former execs from Netflix, Lucasfilm, Disney, Amazon, and Legendary), the Legion M moonshot is well on its way.

But it’s not too late for you to join them.

Just be sure to invest before Legion M’s round ends TOMORROW at midnight!

Last Call to Invest in a Rising Star

Think a fan-owned company can’t make it in Hollywood? Think again.

Legion M is a studio on the rise. In the last few months, they released one of 2025’s best-reviewed films, closed a 7-figure international rights deal, and paid out over $1,000,000 in returns to investors in its movies. 2025 revenue is already 150% of last year’s…even though it’s only May!

When you invest in Legion M, you’re buying early-stage stock in the company. You’re betting they get big enough to IPO or have an exit. The risk is that they die trying.

Could Legion M turn into the next Netflix? There’s only one way to find out…
