Why's the Equity Alliance's voter guide so small? (I zoomed to 200% so I could read it)

A web browser with the Equity Alliance's voter guide open. The voting guide takes up less than 1/8 of my screen.

Now we can finally get some (simulated) rapid transit in Nashville

Yeah Pestlozzi lined up awkwardly in this 1895 map. Not sure if the intersection was wide then or just a dogleg.

Imagine a vehicle shorter (and lighter) than the sedan and tops out at 20 mph

Illustration of the hit points on a pedestrian on a SUV and Sedan:
“Size does matter
SUV front ends are taller, so they strike pedestrians higher on their bodies. That means they are more likely to kill a pedestrian than a car that would 🪧 a person's leg.”

@nashvilledot.bsky.social stole the benches again. NDOT, leave the wooden benches alone until you have a suitable replacement. Joke of a city.

These ghouls constantly fantasize about lynching. www.local3news.com/local-news/t...

Screenshot from article:

Tennessee Representative Michele
Reneau told Local 3 News that this is
needed to protect Tennesseans on the roads.
"This is just an important step in tightening the noose around this illegal immigration issue,'
" said Reneau.
"It's really important for the safety of Tennesseans to be able to make it as
difficult as possible, and hopefully that discouragement by not being able to get that license will discourage them from driving."

The PWHL like the NHL doesn’t really care about character issues if a player is good at hockey. I guess we are calling bigotry “morals” now. Imagine being a homophobe playing in women’s sports. A very high percentage of her teammates throughout her life have been gay.

DAILY FACEOFF
Last Saturday, PWHL Detroit signed forward Britta Curl-Salemme to a three-
year contract. She was the team's fourth signing of Phase 2 after Dary! Watts, Hanna Bilka and Cayla Barnes. While the former Minnesota Frost winger and U.S.
National Team member is one of the more talented players in the game, the baggage she carries hangs over her like a dark cloud.
From her morals to her criticized on-ice play, Curl-Salemme has become one of the most polarizing figures in hockey.

DAILY FACEOFF
Curl-Salemme's reputation stems from her controversial posts and supportive actions during her time at the University of Wisconsin and leading up to the 2024 PWHL Draft. She was seen liking racist, anti-LGBTQIA+ and COVID-denier posts on her X account, as well as supporting twin sisters Monique and Jocelyne Lamoreux during their multiple campaigns calling for the ban of transexual athletes in women's
sports.

DAILY
FACEOFF
On top of that, Curl-Salemme has partnered with FIERCE Athlete, a group that leads anti-trans and anti-abortion campaigns. While she has apologized for her actions in previous interviews, it hasn't changed fans' perception of her, as she has been noticeably booed in every PWHL arena outside of Minnesota.
Rheaume understood the PR gamble she was taking when signing the 26-year-old, telling reporters that she and her staff had done their due diligence.
"I understand that some of the fans have strong feelings about this signing," Rheaume said. "We don't take that lightly.
... We want a place where everybody feels welcome.

Box trucks and cargo bikes for urban deliveries. Semis should be used for what they are good at, drive between cities/distribution hubs.

Maneuverability and Versatility
Box trucks are known for their maneuverability and versatility, making them well-suited for navigating urban environments and making frequent stops for deliveries. Semi-trucks, while less maneuverable in tight spaces, excel in long-haul transportation and are capable of carrying a wide variety of cargo types.

As someone who received a stipend to be an old guy helping kids repair their bikes, it’s pretty sweet.

Photo of Bicycle/Race by Adonia Lugo PhD:
“Forget funding bike lanes, what we needed were bike crews at every high school; co-ops at every community center; stipends for the old guys who repaired bikes for kids in their neighborhoods.
We needed to pay poor people for using bicycles and being a part of the growing network through which more sustainable transportation cultures could flow. What more direct action could there be to disrupt the usual devaluation of people who used bikes to survive?”

Oh, I moved here in 2004.

Clip from Tennessean article in the slow bar:
“For three years, Slow Bar was the spot. With only Margot and Red Door East open for business, the beer-only Slow Bar was the first to solidify a music scene in East Nashville. Grimes is the first to admit that he was new to the bar business. That,
combined with other unforeseeable bad scenarios, led to the demise of Slow Bar in
2003. The good news is that Grimes fell in love with booking bands.”
