I am increasingly frustrated with this platform. I am forever grateful for the connections made, thoughts shared, laughs had...

But I'm heading for bluer skies! Find me here: https://t.co/movCua0pUn

These two - unburdened by what has been, but also oblivious to what can be.

Just there for each other. There’s a lesson in there…

On April 14, 2024 at 1:28am, a pedestrian was struck & killed by the driver of a speeding vehicle on Gallatin Pike near Marion Ave. The driver fled the scene after striking the person with their car, leaving them in the road to die.

A thread... 🧵

If unresponsive consultants are holding up the implementation of these life saving interventions, they should be cut out of the process altogether.

Speed is a factor in every fatal crash. Speed is an even bigger factor in making the necessary changes to keep our neighbors safe.

Technically, as Elon floods my Twitter feed with Trumpist propaganda, the algorithm will correctly ascertain that I am looking at a lot of Trumpist propaganda and will continue serving me up more Trumpist propaganda.

Galaxy brain move, I guess.

@brettawithers @andywildman What do you mean by: "likely be supported"?

As in, the residents wouldn't support such a change? Or the surrounding density is not sufficient to support local businesses there with a local client base?

An unexpected knock-on effect of our super-restrictive zoning policy in Nashville: my polling place is not located within the boundary of my precinct, and it is nowhere near the geographic center of said precinct...

@freddieoconnell @WeGoTransit @NashvilleDOT @MetroNashPlan Personally, I can't wait to vote for these critical investments to unlock the true potential of our city!

Modern problems, age-old, time-tested solutions!

And on this point, Electric Vehicles make matters even worse. A typical EV weighs significantly more than it's ICE counterpart. That added weight means more tire wear and more tire particle waste in our rivers - it's simple physics.

Personal motor vehicle dependency continues to hurt us in ways big and small. Once it see it in one place, you see it everywhere you look.

We will all be stronger when there are safe, reliable, efficient alternatives to motoring in Davidson County

New blog: Take action on emerging toxic pollution - 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-q). This chemical is commonly used as a stabilizer in rubber production, particularly in tires found on virtually all vehicles, from cars to airplanes. https://t.co/mF7c0KLcQe
