You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

I don’t adhere to these modern consumerist Christmas practices like “NFL on Christmas day.” I participate in a much older, more established, more sacred tradition: NBA on Christmas Day.

who up tryna see Santa 🙋‍♂️

that we need dedicated bus lanes on 4th ave in Nashville, TN

Today’s episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking ways to help our unhoused neighbors right now: The incredible @kellykitty.bsky.social from Open Table Nashville is here to teach us how to join their winter canvassing efforts — and why they matter. Take care of each other 💛

Recently a Young Person looked through a book of our wedding photos (2012) on our coffee table and described the wedding as “really millennial core” and I can’t stop thinking about it.

You expect me to work TODAY? On CHRISTMAS EVE??

Santa is real and he lives among us

cool event tonight in the neighborhood supporting Open Table

You expect me to work TODAY? On CHRISTMAS EVE??

Once again: we are not special. There is not a single airport in the world that relies on a bespoke single lane car tunnel. Buses today, train tomorrow. If the proposed bespoke, narrow car tunnel precludes future rail on Murfreesboro then it should be blocked by MNAA.

EXPRESS BUS TO THE AIRPORT WHEN

One year ago today was the best tweet of all time

You can feel one way or another about Jeffrey Dahmer but he completed his project at no cost to taxpayers

A person in Grundy County is 400x as likely to die from gun violence as a person in Queens. But a person in Queens is twice as likely to have a neighbor within a mile of them die from gun violence. Perceptions of safety seem to be driven by the latter in a way our brains aren't wired to overcome.

Open Table Nashville, who is out every night on these bitter cold nights giving rides and supplies to folks sleeping outside, ran out of sleeping bags last night. Things are very tight for everyone around the holidays but even $5 hand warmers make a direct impact in keeping a neighbor warm.

All weekends should be 3 days. A day for fun, a day for activity or productivity, and a day to do absolutely nothing.

THE GANG IS GROWING

It’s the time of winter where we break out the Bernie Sanders meme our comms person made me to ask y’all to come winter canvassing! The low Sunday night is 10 degrees, come & take care of our neighbors with me & other cool people! bit.ly/otnwintercan...

I can’t touch these numbers. I either need to start commuting again or I need El Fuego to move to the other side of town

ICE spotted in Inglewood. D7 has a large immigrant population, plus ICE targets Home Depot and we have one of those. If you see ICE call Music City MigraWatch 615-933-8409.

The next bus departs BNA 47 minutes after my flight lands

If there's fewer than 4-5 adults in your house, you really shouldn't ever buy a 5lb bag of coffee. The shelf life of coffee beans greatly decline after sitting for a week or two. If someone is continuing to encourage you to buy a 5lb bag of coffee, you should evaluate what else they're telling you.

Hi friends! As you know, we’re in a long cold stretch of winter. It’s warmed up a tad but the low on Friday is currently 14 degrees. We go out whenever the Metro shelter is open to give rides & supplies to our neighbors. We go through a lot & could use a restock! www.amazon.com/gp/registry/...

this fit goes hard tbh

This does open up a fun opportunity though. “Wow, that public comment from Kelly was a bit much. Football.”

Bus Boy for life

Colleague: “hey we’re extending the length of our Daily Team Sync today” Me:

My wife and I (and tiny dog, RIP) lived in a ~1000 sq ft DADU in East Nash while she was in school and working at the neighborhood coffeeshop and I was starting in my career. It gave us more space than our tiny apartment and we were able to stay in our neighborhood. I just want that for everyone.

There will be absolutely no “bs’s” and no “freakin’s” tonight

It’s very clear that Kupin explained his amendment incorrectly to these people. He can rezone to districts with higher heights. She brought up it limiting mixed use buildings. It doesn’t do that.

inside me there are two wolves

On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police and the FBI

As this is my neighborhood I’ll be calling it Bestpoint

This isn’t my district, but I took a short bus ride to have drinks in this district last night. There are people in MY district who live in a different time zone than me.

refresh hope good number go up bad number go down

Holy shit some counties swinging *27 points* to Dems in Tennessee. “Behn is producing the kind of swings she needs in the early vote” - Kornacki

Ok for real though, all donations today to @opentablenashville.bsky.social are matched up to 10k. If you can spare even a few dollars, that can go a long way in taking care of our unhoused neighbors.

for this Giving Tuesday I wish my boss would GIVE ME the day OFF send tweet

Those of us with fewer responsibilities are going to Urban Cowboy downtown. There will be pizza. There will be fun. There will be seats available. 6ish to late.
