✨in my fare-free era✨
views are mine but should be yours

Friends, it's time. After five years, I'm moving on from covering #MetroCouncilNash.

The July 15 meeting will be the last one I cover. It'll also probably be the last one I watch for some time.

I'll have more to say about this decision later, but for now, I want to thank some folks.

NEW: Mayor Mamdani chose the third full day of his tenure to announce that he will complete the full safety redesign of deadly McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint — a project that was created under Mayor Bill de Blasio, but watered down by Mayor Adams in a corruption scandal. buff.ly/T2rESWz

If you are tired of the Tourism Industrial Complex, whatever that was last night for the New Years Eve event, the fact that we have already had a pedestrian death in 2026, or other issues there is a place you can post your snarky quips and we can all cope together.

for the late afternoon crowd - I built iwantyoutostay.com as a way to lament how the people in charge wanted us to stay and give Nashville a chance. Now after 2 years it feels like the city, which had a lot of hope when we elected such people; has actively regressed.

This is my snarky way to cope

Dude legit moved the sign so my daughter and I could get through after I kindly explained why it's important to keep the bike lane open, then moved it right back while laughing and waving at us 👎

Have y’all ever thought that maybe, just maybe, @neilkornutick.bsky.social was the Director of Data and Innovation we were searching for all along?

Merry Christmas. 🎄

My current understanding of our city’s plans for the future:

Downtown = downtown
East Bank = downtown
Airport = downtown
Wedgewood-Houston = downtown
Berry Hill = downtown
And as @citycastnash.bsky.social highlighted, Bristol’s other dream for the Fairgrounds may well include a casino. Someone should ask @freddieoconnell.bsky.social if he agrees with James Weaver’s plan to repeal and replace Wedgewood Houston….

I really do not think CMs should meet individually with an entity that has refused multiple requests to attend a relevant committee meeting.

They're doing major work in the public ROW and crippling our ability to save lives on Murfreesboro.

Getting out of a scarcity mindset yet… we couldn’t freeze fares.

Forgot to mention the shelter is open all day & night! Folks can go in anytime today and stay until tomorrow morning at 7am.

My favorite thing about the Costco hot dog is how the founder threatened to kill the CEO if he raised the price above $1.50 for the hot dog + soda package.

“If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
