HALLELUJAH FINALLY

Did someone say “Metro Quitter?” My ears are burning!

I told Elizabeth about this, and she said, “I’m sorry, you have to FLAG DOWN THE BUS? When you are literally sitting AT a bus STOP? ‘STOP’ being the operative word. Is this a fucking taxi service??”

Everyone who cares about this should remind WeGo in its monthly public comment section. Meetings are generally at a place in metro center. Free parking, close to greenway, 300’ off a No. 9 stop. www.wegotransit.com/about-us/mta...

LMFAO so they’re saying that ridership will TRIPLE (from roughly $8M in revenue from fares to $24M) if we go fare-free? This is INSANE. There is NO data suggesting this is REMOTELY likely. Most places that go fare-free see like 20-40% increase iirc. We’re just making shit up!

Bus driver just tried to leave me at the bus stop. Like literally was just driving away as I’m sitting there. He was looking at me in the eyes, driving past the stop. I had to run halfway down the sidewalk to catch him where he ended up stopping, not at the bus stop. What the actual fuck???

they’ve hinted in several meetings that several of the lines seeing the most growth are the ones most used during NSC/Titans free days 🚨 @startleseasily.bsky.social

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

He's the new @startleseasily.bsky.social

If you elect me the next senator for TN I will subtly bump into this man in the hall and at the water fountains in the most annoying ways I can manage. He will be so mad that he can’t stop thinking about how annoying I am

screw it man, this year I’m Mamdanimaxxing

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. iwantyoutostay.com #nashville

Genuinely looking for answers, what the hell is going on with Red Bicycle?

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

EVERY DAY GAME DAY TITAN UP

On this Boxing Day, my immune system is boxing with bronchitis. Will the horrors never end???

reminding myself constantly that being a happy warrior requires both parts of that terminology we’re gonna need a lot of happy warriors in Nashville in 2026

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. 🎄

This week's cover story: The 2025 Nashvillians of the Year are the people behind Music City MigraWatch. These everyday citizens document ICE in their own communities.

Yet again, I have a child’s disease. Last time, it was an ear infection. Now? Strep throat. Someone please inform my immune system that I am a GROWN ADULT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

My 2026 mood:

My current understanding of our city’s plans for the future: Downtown = downtown East Bank = downtown Airport = downtown Wedgewood-Houston = downtown Berry Hill = downtown

Are we all just going to ignore the great irony that this man's name is Buss?

Become ungovernable

One year ago today was the best tweet of all time

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.

I truly cannot get over this. we voted to Choose How We Move and got negative one and a half miles of bike lanes. something is Awakening Inside Me

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.

Okay I don’t have the energy to make a Bluesky-specific post so here’s a thread of my current IG stories 😂 take care of our neighbors y’all! It’s freezing & so dangerous for our neighbors experiencing homelessness out there!!

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.” www.mentalfloss.com/culture/busi...

Nashville podcast series idea: bring in a council member, give them the median income and median rent for their district, and get them to make a budget in real time

As requested:

Chat, should the dog be playing with an electrical cord?

Elizabeth is out of town for the weekend, so it’s just me, Margot, and Pippa. So far, Margot has slept while I work, slept while I watched TV, and slept while I ran errands. She’s very confused as to why I’m feeding her dinner, but she’s not complaining.

NAME THAT TLC COMMISSIONER: A new game where I ask you to guess which Transportation Licensing Commissioner said this. "I think of my self-driving Tesla..."

If I wanted a good set of takes around the special election, I would read this thread:

Sunday Scaries are over. we’re doing Sunday Sweeties: post something/somewhere/someone in Nashville that makes you happy

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Kelly in this house, running a billion-dollar entertainment district is a privilege, not a right. and it WILL be taken away when you blow up the library

if you blow up the library, you work to pay it off. no new toys. we are always saying this as parents. very common topic among mommy bloggers

It’s actually super cool how broadly “public safety” is conceived in this Downtown Public Safety Grant from the state. We should use that flexibility to advance a progressive vision of public safety. $15 mil is a lot of money. We can do awesome things with it if council steps up to the moment.

Don’t we have a Downtown library that needed renovations??? Seems a good use of this funding that was already approved in the DMC’s grant contract would be to… renovate the library the NDP’s subcontractors blew up. Ah but wait, the mayors office is choosing to limit this use out with the MOU.

Guys just update the MOU with things we actually need money for. easy peasy

Next level commitment to the bit. @neilkornutick.bsky.social could never.

Me: I’m retired. The universe:

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I will knock doors for Sandra Sepulveda for any countywide office she runs for until my knuckles bleed. You either get it or you don’t, and she gets it

Now who is surprised they didn’t apply for bike/ped infrastructure…🫠

District Management Corp's grant application included personnel (possibly covering Entertainment District Unit) and traffic calming/hardening. The DMC/NDP/Metro MOU does not include EDU or calming/hardening. Hardening is like the silver posts on broadway or the temp car blockers for events
