Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

On my 40th birthday I was on a bike all day, went to hear George Clinton at Vanderbilt then went hashing for World Peace through Beer. More stops on this itinerary but less exertion I think?

Hate to tell you but it doesn't - at least not according to D9 CM e-newsletter this morning. Maybe there can be a few other intersections snuck on into the NROR bill - just, like, as a treat?
We are voting October 20 about banning right turns on red in the USD (BL2026-1497. This bill has been reduced from over 700 intersections affected to now 59 proposed, one of which is in Madison at Gallatin Pike and Broadmoor Dr.

HEY NASHVILLE - just checking: is the intersection of Broadmoor & Gallatin in Madison or Inglewood?

Is this ever a thing reported to the Hub? Now I'm fascinated (creeped out?) by the possibility of this happening here!

Am I gonna booze up and riot if country music is played within my vicinity? Naw. But I'm also just.... not interested in terrestrial radio (except for WXNA I 💜 U) or its charts. Car stereo is usually OFF & windows down to listen/watch out for fuckass shit drivers on the streets here.

KJ Garner @kjgarner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I haven't heard that song either (except for snippets when morning TV on per husband) but that's mostly because I listen to SOMA FM, WXNA, Radio France-FIP (regular or Groove or Jazz usually), or di.fm. When I pass the Opry house sign going to work, I don't know 3/4 of the names.

Seven women are now at the center of this investigation. Five may be dead. No final account has been established. We should not need a million files, a room full of chemicals, and the possibility of a serial killer before missing women become visible. www.swopbehindbars.org/post/seven-w...

People are not high-risk. Situations are dangerous. Predators are dangerous. Housing instability, criminalization, poverty, isolation, and institutional indifference create danger. A woman does not become less missing because her life was complicated.

When a missing woman has used drugs, traded sex, experienced homelessness, or had an arrest record, her disappearance is the consequence of a “high-risk lifestyle.” That phrase performs a moral trick. It shifts responsibility from the person who caused harm to the person forced to navigate danger.

Nobody on the planning staff believes that their bodies will need assistive mobility devices at any point in the future - or, counterpoint, they all live in somewhere already dense, incapable of street widening.

A lot of society, but esp. the US and the UK, overemphasizes individual effort and problem-solving instead of systemic changes and better government regulations. And it's easier to hyperfixate on the choices of these individuals than focus on how institutions and gov policies discriminate and harm.

Was just there, can confirm it is life-affirming to not only see all of the drivers I saw comply with this AND be able, as a bike rider, to use the LPI to make my start in the street. LPIs were EVERYWHERE in the areas I went to.

Gas is too cheap as long as people still: - insist on flooring it and then slamming on the brakes between every intersection - drive single occupancy monster trucks in perfect weather for trips less than 2 miles - block crosswalks and bike lanes in idling vehicles

Trains + small trucks or EVs to move freight from shipping centers sound like a better solution. Watch this build up for tolls everywhere in TN. (& carve-outs for trucking industry)
