A labyrinth you must solve to use the crossing walk

It's really not that hard, people. Widespread use of #alttext is a small thing we all can do to make Bluesky better than the other place.

Proud of you Nashville.

Biscuit House with some fantastic new bathroom signage I hadn't seen before.

The dangerous disruption downtown today.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

This is a far cry from the appropriately mindful message of the official statement.

Our downtown daycare is closing tomorrow because of MNPD's trumped up warnings of protest dangers. This is absurd fear mongering.

Was nice to see so many people out bringing attention to street safety.

This morning, an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair got stuck at this noncompliant ADA ramp while trying to cross 4th Ave S at the entrance to Walk of Fame Park. He could have been killed. Here's a story about accessibility in Nashville. 🧵 @nashvilledot.bsky.social @jkupin4d19.bsky.social

No party like a Roy's block party

Hell strip looking rather hellacious.

Saying goodbye to my friend Clint today. He was a relentless force of positivity for me and the community. You will be missed. www.springhillfh.com/obituaries/c...

Great to see folks this morning at Bike to Work day setup at the train station!

Katherine is my mayor.

We have a mayor of nightlife, we need to designate a mayor of biking.

Train derailment on Davidson St yesterday!

If a member of your family or community went missing, and is believed to have been traveling last night May 3/May 4 in the Antioch area along Harding Place, Nolensville Pike, and Thompson Lane, please fill out this form and share it with others. bit.ly/BuscandoNashville

From Lookout photojournalist John Partipilo, women in Nashville beg with Department of Homeland Security officials after ICE agents detained about 100 people on Saturday night near Nolensville Road in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood.

Per WPLN — MNPD says they were not involved in the ICE/@TNHighwayPatrol raids, and Mayor O’Connell’s office said “this type of action does not make us safer” wpln.org/post/ice-arr...

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com

Trip mode choice (car, transit, walk, etc.) is determined by how we design and build our streets. If we build car-priority networks, we will achieve car-dominate numbers of trips. This is the simplest formula in transportation. The numbers shown are not real- we really do get to choose our future.
