I don’t know Todd but a lot of people I respect think highly of him.

"Teen births have crashed 81% since 1991"

I doubt this argument is being made in good faith here

Metro Council to review Nashville Downtown Partnership budget - Nashville Banner Metro Council gains oversight of the Nashville Downtown Partnership, which will submit its budget in a departure from how the organization previously operated.

Our @stelliott.bsky.social reports that Nashville's Downtown Partnership is not renewing its contract with Solaren, replacing them with the same firm that was storing fuel in the library garage when it burned down. nashvillebanner.com/2026/04/15/m...

CMs Eslick and Johnson are encouraging republicans to vote for favored candidates in the dem primary.

It's true that this is not illegal, but if you're a republican who might ever run for office there is a good chance the TNGOP will block you from the ballot for voting in democrat primaries.

New drive-thrus, service stations banned along some major Spokane arterials, paving way for bus-centric development New drive-thrus, gas stations, car washes and other service stations cannot be built in large swaths of Spokane for a year.

Kudos to Spokane. Neighborhoods can have drive-thrus or walkability—not both.

I paid $25 in Germantown last year for 2 hours, which stinks, but the rest of the year I pay $0.

Nashville's Vision Zero Advisory Committee passed the attached resolution at last night's meeting. As Nashville prepares for this once-in-a-generation development, the Committee is calling on the city to prioritize human safety and transit efficiency over unnecessary vehicle capacity.

Lost an ardent civic participant to Baltimore.

To be fair, it is the Greatest City in America.

A Waymo hit a child near an elementary school. The NHTSA is investigating U.S. regulators are investigating the behavior of Waymo driverless vehicles around schools and school buses

One did a few weeks ago. Thankfully no serious injuries reported

This is the gold standard too. I cannot imagine how shitty the tesla tech is.

If by "we" you mean William Lamberth then yes.

Bikes are pretty good for this.

There used to be a cool bike shop at that corner but they closed.

Waymo ignores Nashville school bus's blinking STOP sign and fails to yield to child in crosswalk. Bus driver honks and the Waymo finally stops (in the crosswalk).

A digital illustration of Godzilla silhouetted against a red and orange fire-colored background with his back spines all glowing blue as he blasts nuclear fire at whomever you would most like to have nuclear fire blasted at. Go ahead and make a wish. Jagged lettering on Godzilla’s back and shoulder, also glowing blue, reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’

chelsea manning looking fly as hell in a nice suit being perp walked by a dipshit party city looking nypd cop named "anger"

yesterday in NYC, jewish voice for peace organized a protest against arms sale to israel. 90 people got detained after a traffic sit in held right in front of chuck schumer's office.

as usual, chelsea manning has the coolest perp walk photos. cop's name is "anger" lmfao.

They are not registered or permitted by the city in any way.

i think boosters have this implicit assumption that AVs will not do moving violations because they are so safe and perfect

iirc Lamberth’s preemption bill did not include any guidance about citing AV violations.

I think moving violations should be charged against the vehicle’s registered owner when an operator is not identified. Such citations should not count as points against the owner’s license.

It is *so* far from anyone’s homes. Incredible stuff out here

Home visiting my grandad and the big nimby fight here is about a county-funded hike/bike trail being built in the woods

I mean for crashes where towing is required.

Metro people operating private companies’ equipment is not categorically comparable to crash response.

Through insurance but yes generally.

The main thing I’m arguing is that when local gov has to be the backstop for testing new tech, we should have a cost recovery

We should be billing for this.

AV tech is not ready for prime-time and metro is being forced to beta test it.
