Thought this was very good to put workforce evolutions and my own job changing into context. Changes are happening around us and we should always prepare ourselves to ride the wave of change. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/8...

I have progressed to wall slides and 2 lb curls. This is such a slow process. Now I know what it’s like to do government work.

Someone should really do something about this tbh

It’s important for everyone to pat themselves on the back for this process. Instead of just voting.

Thank god that he went to her kids wedding. That’s how you do lobbying suckers.

Look, I want a baseball stadium but saying the titans stadium is only going to be used 12 weekends a year is such a bad faith argument from a 2 term council member

It would have been funnier to print out the committee recommendation on a cvs receipt or a scroll that went to the floor.

I was one of the two btw

DADUs on nonconforming lots passes unanimously on third reading! Thank you to the young, growing family that brought this to my attention.

THE REAL EAST BEND CHILDREN’S VISION HAS BEEN LEAKED. WILL HE DISCLOSE THIS CLEAR CONFLICT OF INTEREST BEFORE THE VOTE?!?!

“We want 100 lane highways and unlimited free parking” - Williamson county resident

“Do we really need 12 x40 story buildings and 1x 50 story building?” Yes. Probably more tbh.

JFW always having a nomination for a board is a good bit. They always lose but you can’t blame her for trying

App idea: a marketplace for spare garbage and recycling space in your neighborhood.

It’s $100 million to build out the inside of a building? That seems excessive.

The entire point of Connect Downtown was to take urgent action to "aggressively advance a safe and connected active transportation network that supports people of all ages and abilities.” So why are we building less than half of the planned mobility lanes in more than twice the time?

Here me out, haircuts at the bus stop

Does anybody know anyone who can make a mascot costume?

It’s Monday. I’ll be at Dicey’s around 5:15 to enjoy $10 PBR pitchers and slightly over priced pizzas. You can come yell at me for riding a Waymo (and enjoying it) this morning

Reading all 28 East Bend Rezoning Amendment like:

38 is officially middle age for a dude. At some point this year I’ll cross a peak of expected life being less than what I’ve already done.

Happy Nashville Bicycle Festival, Record Store Day, Earth Day Festival and so many other great ways to be in community in Nashville today!

Please get rid of or reform the free parking for clean technology vehicles program

There was an entire family in here to pregame going on a party bus for a 21st (they walked there). It was adorable.

Initial review is up

2+ hours of driving and 4 hours at the dealership. There hasn’t been a “I could use a drink” Friday like this in a long time

JRC has gleefully voted to give away billions of dollars to corporations like Ford and the Titans. I will continue to put any sort of “I’m outraged” comment from him in that context.

I don’t understand how this is Freddie’s fault. JRC just sounds like he wants to run (and lose) a mayoral race again. He doesn’t want to be chair of a board? Good. If anything we should be upset he’s not reducing the number of boards.

But would it work here?

Learning about how others see the world can be so disappointing sometimes

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

When it rains, it pours

Just a reminder folks, it’s illegal to record a video while operating a motor vehicle in the state of tn. It’s unsafe. Don’t do it. handsfreetn.com#:~:text=reco....

Storms a brewing

If I ever quit my job I’m just going to open up a place selling slop bowls and beer and complain about property taxes.

OK folks, I’m writing about the Waymos in Nashville for @nashvillebanner.bsky.social and I’d love to hear what questions you have about them or what experiences you’ve had with them. Reply here or DM me or email me or text me!

I do not like receiving an unsolicited birthday message from a campaign I’ve had zero interaction with before.

Might I introduce you to the nightmare of crossing Chestnut from Fort Negely. People flying down the hill during rush hour and a very far distance to cross mixed with the impatience of people trying to turn right into the bike lane

We should be encouraging public employees to participate in the discourse about the city that they love and work for, not threatening their jobs and future advancement opportunities for doing so.

It’s a pretty big victory to get him in blue jeans and (almost work) boots.

Worth mentioning that in the mere hours between submitting a draft of this story and getting an edit back, the number I included for Nashville fatal crashes became inaccurate... because someone else had already died. So yeah, I'd say traffic calming is a pretty relevant conversation right now.

An excellent article and perspective from @benvaught.bsky.social. Missing here is that CM Eslick shouted at and threatened NDOT staff that he would remove them himself, and abruptly hung up from a call where they were addressing his concerns. He also went door to door to conjure up dissent.

Cities can just do stuff

Most people’s taxes are incredibly easy and there is almost zero reason why any money should change hands to file them.

Parking info sign with beer and liquor.

If selected, I will sit in every meeting and say “we should build more housing here, what are the barriers to that happening?” The shovels will be so worn down you’d never know they were gold.

Is this not an appropriate thing to hub? I’ve placed two hub requests for “debris in roadway (bike lane)” and they’ve both been closed without doing anything. Half of the bike lane width is blocked. @hubnashville.bsky.social ?

Happy Tax Day Eve to all who celebrate!

A core childhood memory of mine is going to a world championship in high school for technology related things. SEND THE PIONEERS TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. SMASH THAT DONATE BUTTON.
