this old tweet just seems to be relevant way too often

congrats to everyone involved in this shortsighted campaign to demoralize a rabid, unceasing transit advocacy group that multiplies like hydra every time its municipality attempts to punish them for its failures

I can confirm this group has been asked to remove only one because of an update to a WeGo stop.

It was happily removed.

I really cannot think of a more colossally unhelpful waste of public resources than @nashvilledot.bsky.social diggin in on bench removal.

Can we please just not

Unless we are replacing them them immediately with permanent benches, they should be put back @nashvilledot.bsky.social

We will not stop. You have no idea how many insufferably persistent people are behind this.

See you next Saturday.

Yes, I am watching a replay of the Cookeville at Beech game from last night. Allegedly, there were 56 or 57 fouls called. That doesn't even include common violations. I've already lost count.

You could watch Ben on youtube or you can be hanging out with your friends at ENBW on multiple different occasions and unintentionally interrupt his set because they converted the patio into a comedy club while you were chilling.

Officials say about $2.6 million has been allocated for the project as of right now, but they could need more money down the line.
"Protecting people is worth what we spend money on,"
Kupin said.
The pilot program will last a year, then possibly expand to the remainder of Broadway and First Avenue. In November, NDOT will close Fifth and Broadway for about three weeks. On the weekends, they will reportedly open the area, so it doesn't impact businesses. The project is expected to be fully complete by 2026.
"We want to make sure it works, we want to make sure there are no problems," Alarcon said.

remember when Metro Council approved $2.6 million in September for @nashvilledot.bsky.social to install and pilot raptor retractable bollards in November?

it is now March.

maybe the next NDOT director will learn to read a calendar

A screen capture from a television news broadcast, specifically from a segment on "Mornings on news12." The visual focus is on a Walgreens employee wearing a body-worn camera, illustrating a report on the company's new security measures.

Central Subject and Attire
The Employee: The frame shows the torso and upper arm of an individual standing behind a counter.

The Shirt: They are wearing a black T-shirt with white text. While the lanyard obscures parts of it, the text visible says: "Get your... and vaccinations today." * The Lanyard: A black lanyard hangs around the neck, featuring the words "AUDIO VIDEO" repeated in white text next to a small orange logo.

The Body Camera
Placement: A small, rectangular body camera is clipped to the center of the lanyard, resting on the chest.

Display: The camera features a small color screen that is actively displaying a live feed of what it seesβ€”in this case, a blue-tinted view of the store environment.

Status Light: A small red indicator light is visible in the top right corner of the device, likely signifying that it is recording or powered on.

Background and Graphics
Background: The setting is a retail pharmacy counter. In the upper left, there is a blurry advertisement or poster featuring a man in a blue suit.

News Graphic: At the bottom of the frame, a news "lower third" banner spans the width of the screen.

The left side contains the show logo: "MORNINGS on news12."

The main headline in a navy blue bar reads: "WALGREENS ROLLS OUT BODY CAMERAS FOR EMPLOYEES" in white, bold, capital letters.

Walgreens losing 90% of their valuation in under 10 years wasn't enough, so they came with an innovative way to keep remaining customers out of their stores.

Tony Carruthers' execution challenged on mental illness claims - Nashville Banner Attorneys for Tony Carruthers, an inmate on Tennessee's death row, claim he is mentally ill and, therefore, is not legally competent to be executed.

New from me at @nashvillebanner.bsky.social: Tony Carruthers is set to be executed by Tennessee on May 21. But his attorneys say he's gripped by psychotic delusions and convinced his release is imminent. Court hearing on his competency begins today. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/09/t...
