Either there's a big traffic jam on Hillsboro, or the bus left 5 minutes behind schedule, or both. It's supposed to be down by Vanderbilt in a few seconds. Fat chance. Some people will miss their connections at Duff Central.

I could be wrong, but I think Vanguard and Fidelity are major investors in this you mentioned and Geo Group. One could move all their assets to a smaller bank, or even send a letter saying they'll no longer invest through their platforms.

Nashville Democrats may blame the governor for the prolonged loss of electricity. Nash' Republicans blame the mayor. Randos blame the electricity provider. Other randos blame the 2026 ice storm (duh!). Me? I blame the HACKBERRY.

They took a subsurface boring every 2,900 feet. TDOT itself wants a boring every 200 feet in rock cuts. I think it’s safe to say they’re gonna encounter something unexpected.

I woke up in the night and remembered that Gail Kerr used to try to keep NES honest.
Nashville no longer has a Gail, that's part of the tragedy.

For those who may not know, there are about 50k households that have been without power for a week. And are facing possibly another week (for some) before it is restored.

The Winter Weather Relief Fund allowed uses needs to be immediately expanded to pay for rent and housing relief. We need to get creative locally on how to address the coming evictions caused by this weather event. There will be many more posts like this.

The 4 crosswalks at West End Ave and 31st Ave N and Blakemore are STILL TOO DARK. Raise your hand if you've been hit by a car there. Or killed, in which case the grad student who did get killed cannot raise his hand. There is NO lighting on the Walgreens-Maggiano side. @pete-nash.bsky.social
