Got to see some interesting roadwork, I had no idea the brick patterning was essentially glued on and not painted directly on the surface. 2nd Ave was very quiet even one block off Broadway.

It’s unfortunate how the activity on Broadway somewhat terminates at 2nd and doesn’t continue to the river or up 2nd. Acme and Underground were nearly empty.

All quiet at Riverfront Park - wish we could activate this at night. #MetroAfterDark

Doing a work site visit at night for a change, it’s been a long time since I was anywhere near Broadway after 5 pm. Going to put observations in this thread. #MetroAfterDark

That sort of kickstarted an interest in interstate 440 and I’ve spent considerable time parsing through the environmental impact statement for that project. All the concerns I’m seeing today about this project are the same ones expressed by the community way back when that project was approved.

Beyond the disruption from construction, this project would have provided no benefit to the community – it would’ve provided increased instances of childhood asthma for my son, more vehicle miles traveled to pollute his atmosphere and a constant hum of automobiles to keep him awake at night.

Before we decided to settle in Old Hickory Village, we were looking at a home in Woodbine when the first round of information was released on choice lanes. One factor that push us away from the area was the potential for massive flyover lanes at the junction of 440 and 24.

This is an incredibly disruptive and destructive project that will do nothing to improve congestion or whatever the heck the state thinks they’re accomplishing here.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
SIGNED this 31st day of February, 2026.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

ICE is a murderous, poorly trained group of brigands. Their department must be abolished and the actions of every officer should be reviewed and trials should occur. We cannot accept anything less.

The idea that these folks are the primary cause of raising rent is just not reflective of reality. Yeah he knows he’s lying and yeah he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.

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.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.
