Valentine's Day is a great day to enjoy a love song from @thecroftonshow.bsky.social and directed by me. One of the greatest joys in my life was forcing Crofton to dance all over Terlingua, Big Bend and Marfa, Texas. youtu.be/aRd_vUrHkzc?...

CHALK HEARTS great name for an indie rock band that I would despise

CHALK HEARTS two lovers at the base of the Cliffs of Dover (500,000 years ago when they were just “those pretty cliffs”) they carved hearts out of the chalk and kissed before they walked into the surf because they knew that way they would never be apart

Sad that Pete Finney's passing is the occasion to read some of the fantastic stories of his life. He brightened a lot of people's lives. Major loss. Thanks to Jack for digging in on this and sharing it.

Nashville Electric Service officials and city department heads faced several hours of questioning from Metro councilmembers Tuesday night.

Yes, I learned that board members are essentially protected from public comment by the communications department, which is vetting what information to share with them. So, my requests for support of what CMs needed went unanswered because they weren't shared by NES.

NES says they’ve been doing “strategic undergrounding” and they are planning to do a study to determine where undergrounding “might make sense for us” (I vote for not doing a study and just burying the damn lines)

CM Gamble is the first to mention the names of those we lost in the storm and its aftermath

CM Evans asks if the NES Board was invited to this meeting (yes) and if the Board’s emails are working (lol)

FREDDIE DIDN’T GO. Unacceptable.

Um, the CEO is NOT doing a great job. Nope. Not at all.

WHAT?!?!?! That’s f*cking disgusting

Call me old fashioned but I think a city staffed by people who make six figures with a $3.8b budget shouldn’t rely quite so much on tiny nonprofits to bail them out of disasters

One cool idea would be for every resident to chip in a little bit—we could call the money “taxes”—and then spend it on things like “infrastructure” instead of billionaires who want to build stadiums or move their headquarters.
