Interesting story about Barcelona’s new commissioner of sustainable tourism and his plans to make that city better for residents. Just for fun, I ran the numbers: Annual tourism in Barcelona 16 million people. Annual tourism in Nashville? 16.9 million people.

"What they ultimately want to do is fire high-waged workers and replace them with substandard algorithms, and then make us accept substandard products. And that’s where they’re going to realize the return on this gigantic investment."

Some, reckoning what they have to lose, say “But my safety net!” and truckle to the plutocrats. Some, reckoning that humanity is what they have to lose is everyone’s humanity, resist the plutocrats. Liberté, egalité, sororité!

"The wealthy are counting on license plate readers, Fusus, ICE, data centers and drones to calm their increasing paranoia." This week, Advice King @thecroftonshow.bsky.social on local lingo ... sort of.

"Remember: None of this is about safety or immigration. It’s about intimidation, and control. Which side are we on, Nashville? There is no middle." @thecroftonshow.bsky.social www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture...

So, if they lose the lawsuit and have no operating reserves that would be, like, really bad, right?

🙃🙃🙃 assistant director of finance getting up during council meeting to go to a back corner to ask Tom Turner if they have any operating reserves is definitely how this should work.

I would love to stop thinking about NDP but the more I learn the worse it is. I’ve confirmed that what we heard tuesday — that they do not maintain operating reserves — came straight from Tom Turner to Metro staff. Coupled with the lawsuit allegations this looks to be a very poorly run operation

Our benches keep getting taken. Come help us build more today from 9:00 - 1:00 at Riverside Community Commons in East Nashville. Photograph via the fine folks at MusicShitty.

Peter Thiel is doing off-the-record retreats the right way. by Ezra Klein

Here are all 113 alleged members we were able to successfully extract. This data can also be verified via versions of the site captured by the Wayback Machine, even if it doesn't properly render the website.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

please for all that is good in this world, let me and my weird friends just make benches and stop trying to make the city actively worse. thank you.

A proposed data center near the Nashville Zoo could be significantly larger than previously reported — and the site’s stormwater runoff could affect zoo property.

I think if these guys are willing to openly carry firearms while committing felony vehicle theft they might also be willing to use a screwdriver to remove the license plate

Hundreds of far-right activists gathered in Portugal last Saturday for the annual “Remigration Summit” advocating for the mass deportation of immigrants. Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was a VIP guest alongside elected officials from Germany and Spain’s far-right parties.

"My degree is in art history, which should cause you to doubt the value of any practical business advice I might offer." This week, Advice King @thecroftonshow.bsky.social on getting into the frozen lemonade game.

TN has about a decade's head start on project 2025, for those in more humane jurisdictions who may not know. didn't think it was likely for this asshole (pictured) to be a bigger asshole than the asshole that preceded, but in TN politics there's a bigger asshole theorem just begging to be disproven

As Margot says goodbye to East Nashville’s Five Points, Party Fowl moves in — and the neighborhood’s high rent prevents small business entry.

Pathetic.

Kudos to @kellykitty.bsky.social for asking if crime is down 21% can we cut 21% of the MNPD budget?

Y’all.

Pathetic.

Wow, Mikie Sherrill must be so proud of her new "partners": ICE

Helpful. In my classroom, some kids seem to love me but also sometimes seem to want to get me fired for saying Biden won in 2020. They call themselves conservative. When I ask them what they want to conserve, their faces go blank. They’re a danger to themselves & others (for now). Art? Not yet.

And it’s not about crime, or safety. @freddieoconnell.bsky.social
