Hackberries are the pitbull of trees

These guys will be lobbying for insanely long que lanes in the near future. Robots won’t save us. Tunnels won’t save us. Transit or gridlock. Those are the options.

Our administration doesn’t just stand with workers — we deliver for them. We’ve already secured more than $5 million for delivery workers who were wrongfully deactivated, and we will keep fighting for the fair pay and dignity they deserve.

dear Emmanuel Macron, I will take back everything impolite I've said about you over the years if you get this mf www.bbc.com/news/article...

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.

Shoutout to all the people feeding people this week. WCK, remixway, TIRRC, TEA, SUN, NCVC. I missed a ton of people. Thank you all.

Radical anti-police extremist *squints* Ron Wyden

Straight from NDOT: “There is no size limit for brush for this special pick up. I just confirmed. Contractors that are hired by a resident to do tree work can leave that brush at the curb. However, we will not pick up brush for commercial businesses.”

Emergency trash dropoff sites for Sat and Sun (at least). D5 location is Cleveland Park. Some residents (especially D5) will have a substantial wait before next pickup due to shifting collection schedules. Get rid of that wasted fridge worth of food. www.nashville.gov/departments/...

Popped into Gus’s and I’d totally forgot about Hot Chicken Week. Check it out!
