proud of you

Quick update: Glad to be able to say that “Nashville 911” has shut down their film shoot that was happening in East. Really outrageous for them to be doing that in front of homes without power in this storm. Thanks to the Mayor’s office for helping me with that request.

Rumors, Misinformation Add to Ice Storm Chaos Online lineman rumor and AI imagery have further confused residents during weather emergency

Thought this was a good from Eli on the online rumoring about NES workforce but also about the snow storm version of Shark Swimming Down Flooded Highway images going around Nashville internet this week. www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists “violent” and said they are involved in “riots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents. “There’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to family—more than family—checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me. If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

we're going to be good neighbors and also we made it impossible to take any sort of legal action whatsoever against us

getting republicans to write facebook uncle grievances into TN code is not going to help Bristol's case

America is entitled to Greenland because we are the dominant predator force in the Western hemisphere. Here's why I'm afraid of cities.

If you are willing to admit we are in a housing crisis, everything should be on the table. If you don’t want more housing in neighborhoods, than neighborhood golf courses or neighborhood water parks or neighborhood race tracks should be part of the convo.

"Cities should remain museum pieces for incumbents and any newcomer is strictly a burden" is the most loser mindset that powers the most loser politics in America today.

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

Fairgrounds neighbors are speaking out in today's Tennessean:

“We believed you when you said neighborhoods would come first in your administration.

Bringing NASCAR into our neighborhood doesn’t honor that pledge.”

Anti-subsidy ohio homies came through and sent me a Comrade Haslam shirt

Not so fast! A story in 4 parts:

1) NASCAR “sources” tell Fox17 there’s a racetrack deal
2) Mayor O’Connell’s office says no deal
3) Fox deletes the article
4) Fox17 issues a correction

Nashville just can’t trust these NASCAR lobbyists to shape the future of the Fairgrounds.

Narrator: the racetrack won’t make the city any money either

What a terrible use of this land 😡

The decision about the future of the Fairgrounds should belong to Nashvillians, not NASCAR.

Let the voters decide.

Houston sports venues need almost $3B in upgrades, if you’re not too picky about what “need” means The Harris County Houston Sports Authority's building committee has estimated how much the Astros and Rockets venues will need in maintenance costs in coming years, and it's a bundle: $836.5 million o...

VSG is the same consulting group that said the Titans stadium needed close to $2B in renovations. I read their report, and it was ridiculous, its cost estimate was based on anecdotes of one other stadium with costs that didn't match up with published accounts. www.fieldofschemes.com/2025/06/23/2...
