I think only @freddieoconnell.bsky.social has access to Batman. I’d love to meet Wonder Woman. I suppose if authoritarian takeover were imminent she would try to get here to protect us with her powers. 🦸🏻‍♀️

The folks in Chicago have been fantastic to talk to about this. They continue to add these. Excellent use of public land.

If you're a fan of free speech, including by our comedians, here are some advertisers on the local Nexstar affiliate that you can avoid until they decide to advertise elsewhere. Reminder: this profile is not an official account.

Hey Disney - (ABC, ESPN, Hulu, etc) - glad you'll miss me. Now is the time not only for individuals, but also for advertisers/sponsors to pull out too. LFG

At what point will soldiers defect as a protest to these unconstitutional actions, a constitution they are obligated to protect against all enemies foreign and domestic?

Don’t forget the play of good ole white boy Shelbyville vs successful badass Black woman. I haven’t researched it, but I’ll guess that the Shelbyville bank branch has some descendants of some secret society guys in addition to the WLM protest in 2017. So there’s that too.

I put these in the CIB for all of Riverside either LY or year before. Might be tough on some curves there but still could work. Looks like a good solution for Hart Lane road diet @cbowe34.bsky.social

Would be glad to donate your $100 to @claycapp.bsky.social or @seanforfive.bsky.social

Ah - gotcha. Certainly something we can explore.

Oh also - the state regulates cemeteries so those buried will remain undisturbed. Building sidewalks in either cemetery here would create concern for families.

We need to take this state hwy down to 3 lanes, using the remaining width for ped infrastructure, and maybe bike too, but my priority is ped 1st. @campbell4tn.bsky.social & @aftynbehn.bsky.social are working with me, but it’s a uphill battle. Maybe make the third lane reversible for peak hours 🤷‍♀️

Imagine if we passed No Right on Red on all major streets, like those with transit at least. 🤔

Wtf are we even doing here wasting money on #visionzero, @nashvilledot.bsky.social? I’m not a mathematician but ZERO means 0. Not one, not two, not 50. All you can to say is sorry, your lives have been a needed sacrifice to the car gods

Hbd! Perhaps lobbying your govt officials to fund drivers ed would be a good thing. And I may do just that.

Listened to a piece on @npr.org #AllThingsConsidered about robots made to be like humans. Gave examples like C3PO, but neglected to mention Rosey Jetson. 🧐

Thank you for this. I’ll talk w NDOT about improving this even more.

Thinking about the Trump/Epstein thing and just remembered that one of them was on a hot mic talking about grabbing women by the p*. If it talks like a duck…
