AVs wont fix this (they're going to make it worse). Private single lane tunnels wont fix this. We need to get serious about getting people to and from BNA. That means buses in the near term and light rail in the medium term. We are not special and we do not need to reinvent the wheel here.

You know what wouldn’t be impacted by a freeway wreck. A train! (That runs above ground, I feel it necessary to specify)

Open Table Nashville is in full-on winter mode taking care of vulnerable fellow Nashvillians. With a few clicks, you and I can be part of their efforts! They'll be busy every night this week. Let's make this happen, fam! buff.ly/yCPECcN

Stumbling our way to relevance #Texans

“We could kick a field goal and make this a one-score game” “No, let’s do the same dumb thing that just didn’t work and leave ourselves open to a loss” “Great plan”

Ban the Tush Push and just play old timey football, my dudes. This is such a dumb way to spend our time.

The good people of Indianapolis seem extremely upset 😬

Clock management: What is it?

AFC South Football: Ruining My Life Since 2002

It's funny I don't remember this being the take during the Biden presidency

Texans make it one play without a penalty challenge

What is this shirt that DeMeco Ryans is wearing that makes it look like he has a sucking chest wound

Is it you, baby? Or just a bridge in disguise?

Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another (gift article) wapo.st/3MeOGki

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...

Oh noes, so many AOCs, the Republicans are gonna run out of fire graphics

y’all ever think about how they blew up the library

To be clear I don’t care about college football but I do support local nerds

Anchor seems to be up

The next chapter should be all the garbage men who didn’t get cancelled in the first chapter but my NDA won’t let me tell you more

Oh my. www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/n...

Thanks to everybody who’s out knocking doors and making phone calls in TN-07 today! As I am forced to sit on my nonpartisan hands due to work, it feels great to see so many of you picking up my slack. 💙

AAAAAAH NEW SEASON OF MAN ON THE INSIDE AAAAAAAAH

Picked up the Madness and English Beat Record Store Day releases at about 6pm tonight (thanks, Vinyl Tap!). Just need to find the Billy Joel live album and I will have successfully navigated yet another RSD without waiting in a single line

Mother shit fuck trees. Worth it, though. 🎄

#BlackFridayParking at Bellevue One in Nashville. Supposedly the one day a year that the shops would need all this mandated parking, and it's still massively overbuilt.

Also wreaths at Lowe’s are like $7 today

Got the new (properly working) outdoor Christmas lights up again. Today’s most random string of profanity was “mother shit fuck tree”

Fan of Jeni's ice cream? Well, their workers in Columbus, Ohio are trying to unionize its eight retail stores across the region.

Don’t worry, Nashville. Once we get that new stadium built I’m sure Jack will play at Titans games too

A study came out today in the Tennessean that said the income needed to be “comfortable” in Nashville is $111K

Sigh

Just saw a Ross Dress for Less ad with the disclaimer “Toys do not move on their own.” ARE YOU SURE ROSS

So today I decided it was ok to be Too Online if you are also Aware Of What Healthy People Talk About. If you are Healthy, but not Too Online, you are fine. If you are Too Online but do not also Touch Grass, you’re doomed. Discuss.

“It’s actually about ethics in video game journalism”

Extremely good news: A print subscription for The Onion is very on sale today. You'll get your first copy by Christmas. It's $75 for a year's worth of newspapers shipped to your real-life mailbox each month. Get one for yourself, your friends, your family, or your enemies. membership.theonion.com

Cannot believe I had to work with this boot licking loser. Don't vote for this guy. Don't let your friends or family vote for him. Show them this groveling for the support of a narcissistic wannabe tyrant and ask them if they'd trust this guy to vote to help his constituents if Trump said otherwise.

Biz Jounal and Tennessean breathlessly cover Boring's every bowel movement but ignore that their main contractor stopped work yesterday due to unsafe conditions and failure to pay These are LIES. Boring needs a distraction from the labor dispute so they are LYING SO YOU WILL PUBLISH THE LIES

There’s a number going around of TN-07 voters who’ve committed to a certain candidate but have not yet voted. It’s a BIG NUMBER and will also make it a HELLISH day at the polls next Tuesday if all those people try to vote at once. I am BEGGING YOU to get people to go early vote TODAY.

Polls don’t vote. Knock a door, call some folks, pots and pans!!!!!!

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.

Volunteer to phone bank for Aftyn Behn from anywhere here:

U.S. House District 7 voters: Early Voting ends at 4:30pm today! #VOTE

What if I don’t sleep or eat but just news

One more day of early voting to blow your TN-07 friends up. Pots and pans.

On Thanksgiving Day join Mark and Kevin from the Donelson Cafe as they host their 9th annual "Truly Thankful Thanksgiving" from 11-2. It's 100% free to anyone who shows up - you can eat there or take it to go. I will be there volunteering at 11. Share with anyone who might have an interest! 🦞

My family’s tradition of Christmas Pizza started Because The Power Went Out

Actually incredible resource here. One click to copy all Metro Council emails? Brilliant. (They don’t check the general inbox, don’t tell anybody.) If you don’t want to be surveilled when you go to the Ryman or Robert’s, take a sec and write them a nice email about it. 🦞

Why do they always try to do the stuff around the holidays? To the #MetroCouncilNash: our concerns about oversight of surveillance programs actually are not allayed by putting it into the hands of a third party. Please do not let this happen. readrichtext.substack.com?utm_source=s...
