Feels like not enough people are talking about this 👀 🏀 @VanderbiltU @VandyWBB @VandyMBB

i will never get over this rebecca tiffany quote: the goal of yimbyism is a world where "every trans eighteen-year-old who is stuck living with unsupportive family [is] able to afford an apartment in a vibrant urban space with transit on a minimum wage job." www.liberalcurrents.com/feminism-wit...

I know we all love "Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?" but I would really like to see some "Do you renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of wickedness that rebel against God?" energy in the parish newsletters too at this point

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

“If Americans increased their protein intake by just 25%…it would require about 100 million acres of additional ag land each year — an area larger than Michigan, Ohio & Pennsylvania combined — & increase annual emissions by 100s of millions of tons of CO2e, according to @worldresources.bsky.social.”

I wonder if someone is going to tell these soon-to-be sad 8th grades?

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.

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...

4.6% YOY WeGo ridership growth. That’s pretty impressive. We are just beginning to see CHYM improvements too.

This feature that breaks Metro meeting videos down into individual agenda items is SO AMAZING. We love the folks at MNN. Thank y’all!!

This is Herschel. She spent 15 minutes at the gym before deciding to switch her New Year's resolution to self acceptance. 12/10 (IG: cfsbk)

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

My plea for starting 2026 is radical over sharing from all those in government in Nashville. It’s the first step to fixing what felt like was fully broke in 2025. open.substack.com/pub/quinevan...

Was honestly hoping that last call was on Ole Miss so we could see the stage roll off & on again.

ok its live iwantyoutostay.com - still a WIP but have at it I guess. #nashville

I'm not great about tooting my own horn. But as an independent journalist whose work is reliant on contributions from my readers, it's part of the job. So here's a post and thread on my work over the last year and beyond -- and why you, reader, should subscribe. (Plus, shameless dog photos!)

This is extremely irresponsible design.

Only ~25% of lawyers are litigators, yet annual CLE options continue to be overwhelmingly dispute-based. Where is my “corporate accounting for lawyers” or “how to use one note to manage transactional matter notes” CLEs? Why in this day of our lord must I learn about campus disciplinary proceedings?

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

that I don’t actually have to finish a book or show or movie that I am not enjoying. 44 years, folks. Took me 44 years.

Anything that makes me type a password, but particularly something that makes me do it with a remote. Send me a code. Give me a QR to scan. Literally anything but another password to slowly peck out using arrows and enter.

"Her family has now been told she has been deported, despite US District Judge Brendan Hurson ruling Thursday that she could not be deported pending a hearing...attorneys said Monday that they have...confirm[ed] with the hospital she was born in Maryland." https://bit.ly/3MMdJvz

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

Need a pick me up, advice, a smile, or to laugh? You can get a pep talk from kindergarteners to help with that. Since 2022, they’ve had 25 million calls - with annual averages more than the yearly 911 calls received by Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, & Miami COMBINED! Just call (707) 873-7862.

Happy almost end of the year CLE marathon days to all who celebrate.

We’re doing family book club this winter break. For our family (6 (read to, with maybe some internal editing), 10, and 14) we went with Something Wicked This Way Comes. What books do you love that might work for kids this age and the adults who want to read with them?

Any Nashville peeps know any female hoopers in town? Our team is expanding. Special interest in post players. TIA

Nothing prepares you for the moment when your kid, on the first day of Hanukkah, tells you that they need to talk to you because they’re feeling on edge because Daddy’s school got shot up and so did a bunch of Jews. Nothing can and nothing does and nothing should have to prepare you for that.

Idk who keeps the best “things I don’t like about new Nashville” list, but whoever you are, please add “the increasing difficulty of finding Purity Dairy boiled custard”.

“The Department of Law recommend that the Board of Ethical Conduct dismiss the ethics complaint against Councilmember Rollin Horton in its entirety.”

Do it Lane. You son of a bitch. Do it.

One day. Two cities. www.wsj.com/real-estate/... nashvillebanner.com/2025/12/09/e...

I cannot stand by and be silent about Tulane going to the playoffs and Vandy maybe not. Not okay even a little bit.

Whatever you call them - detached unit, DADU, carriage house, back house, mother-in-law suite - we - the Metro Council - just made them legal over one of the physically largest urban areas in the lower 48. It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t always fun, and we have more to go. But we’re doing it.

The look of a motion to table

Shout out to those working hard on The Alice and Nineteen Fifty-Six at The University of Alabama. You are amazing. Your voice is worthy. Fuck the haters. Don’t let the bastards get you down.

Also worth noting that from the time literally George Washington was president to 2021, Nashville was one Congressional District.

There's more to the results than just gerrymandering but at the same time I think many of these out-of-state take-slingers don't realize just how carved up the Tennessee Congressional district map is.

Anyone on here gathering early data? I’ve got Curb Center tapes. This will be a larger box in town today.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Really hope someone reminded Taylor Swift that she needs to vote today. Wouldn’t want her messing up that perfect voting record!

Help me give little Timmy what he’s always wanted for Christmas - to be right. Downtown, Midtown, North and West Nashville 🦞 - y’all go vote today for @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Drop it like it’s hot

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

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.

all those folks out there stuck in traffic rn thinking, BNA? yeah I sure wish I could B N A train

Yet another in a long strings of stressful Iron Bowls. Roll tide.
