@bendreyfuss @JHWeissmann I guess trustafarians are SOL with Hampshire closing.
English
@JHWeissmann When my sister drove me around New England looking at colleges in 2004 we got to Hampshire and we walked around for five seconds and I was like “there is no point in even finding the admissions department. My answer is no.”
English
I don't know if it's true today but back when I was applying to college Hampshire was a place where you picked if you wanted to smoke weed and write poetry, and generally had a "wealthy white kid with dreads" rep. Kind of a high sticker price for that.
Dr. Clayton Forrester@DrClaytonForre1
Hampshire College costs $77,752 per year to attend, or $311,008 for a 4-year bachelor's degree. That includes tuition, housing, dining and miscellaneous fees. In the current economy, it would be almost impossible for any student paying this to generate a positive return on investment. In a few years, many small liberal arts colleges like Hampshire will close their doors forever.

@NashvEdReform @drberthena4edu @MetroSchools We do. TCAP scores. Let’s put all schools up for renewal every 5 years based on TCAP / value add improvement.

"[Nabaa-McKinney] cited concerns about accountability as another reason she does not support charter expansion"
@drberthena4edu why don't we have unified accountability for ALL types of @MetroSchools
public schools: district/zoned, magnet, and charter?
English
Bell, a former teacher, said @MetroSchools should adopt the ideas that are working in charters.
'I’ve seen some creative things in our charters. Share practices that work, abandon those that dont & strengthen ALL our schools'

@marcportermagee It seems like the current executive branch also can’t answer this question; and the legislative branch is unwilling to correct this.
English
Female college students are particularly wrong on this one (nearly twice as likely to say the executive branch as the legislative branch)
Marc Porter Magee 🎓@marcportermagee
Do the majority of US college students know which branch of the US government has the power to declare war? They do not.

@FOXNashville If we’re serious we’d have LPRs and other cameras (including speed cameras) on all busy corridors.

A tragic weekend is raising new concerns in South Nashville 💔
Two people were killed in a hit-and-run along Lafayette Street, a corridor neighbors say has seen multiple deadly pedestrian crashes in recent years.
Data shows a troubling pattern — with several fatalities reported along the same stretch since 2023. Residents point to speeding, poor lighting and gaps in sidewalks as ongoing safety issues.
With lives lost and more close calls, many are asking: What will it take to make this road safer?

@PeterMoskos Where I am almost everyone please to reckless unless you have blood. Then DUI 1 is a suspended sentence and victim impact class. No real jail until DUI 3 normally (which doesn’t include the initial reckless.)
English
Serious question. Are drunk drivers in NY doing jail time? For driving drunk. No crash, no injury. For that alone. Pulled over, shit faced drunk. Not asking if they should do jail time. Does it happen?

@vrgldh @realpamphleteer Shrinking the council will also help…if your rep can actually make a difference you might bother to vote!
English
Starting to see reporting from legacy outlets on the election bill that would move Metro elections to same cycle as Presidential. It would transform the city's electorate, and in turn, council and mayor.
@realpamphleteer reported on this two weeks ago: pamphleteer.co/newsletter/sta…
English
@vrgldh @realpamphleteer Agreed! When turnout is low the activists run the show.
English
@realpamphleteer Currently, only 1 in 5 Nashville residents vote. During Presidential years, 3 in 5 vote. The reason you see such a dysfunctional council is because no one knows about or votes in these elections.
Moving the elections would be a game changer for the city.
English
@tnnaterau Great idea! Metro elections have such low turnout. Last mayoral race had 20% turnout. School board and judicial primaries are routinely <10% of registered voters. Moving them to even years when we vote federal would help!
English
Tennessee Republicans are pushing a bill that would change when Metro and other local governments hold their elections. Currently, Metro elections are held in odd years. The GOP plan would require them to be held in even years to line up with presidential or governor's races.

@DanDistrict7 @vrgldh This is thanks to rapid development on Trinity Lane - the worst kind of building…generic apartments and townhouses that look kinda nice now, but are over-priced and are going to fade and eventually look like the apartments on Hwy 70 in Bellevue or off Bell Rd in Antioch.
English
Much smarter people than me have pointed out the absurdity of touting this stat as anything other than a low volume data blip. But what’s really funny is that Fox Nashville’s office is in this zip! They could just look outside and see how goofy it is to repeat it!

A Nashville, Tennessee neighborhood just claimed the top spot in the nation for inbound moves, according to a new report. The hot ZIP code led the country with 12.8 moves per 1,000 residents in February. See the full report >> bit.ly/4c3PoKK

MAZE@mazemoore
In 2023 Gavin Newsom did what he called a "Red State" tour and visited Alabama, Florida and a few other red states. Newsom's wife said she brought her children to the red states so they could learn about racism, sexism, and bullying first hand.

@FOXNashville We may not need the National Guard…but license plate readers would be helpful!
English
Memphis crime is down across the board under a Trump-backed task force, with motor vehicle thefts down 67% and homicides down 35%.
Congressman Andy Ogles now wants the National Guard in Nashville, but Senator Jeff Yarbro says the move would be illegal and unnecessary.

One compromise/ reform that could end the standoff of DHS funding: ICE agents henceforth won’t wear masks in any situation where other law enforcement officers don’t wear masks, courthouses, the streets of our cites, etc.
Masks are reserved for the lawless zone along the border where the cartels dominate.

@WorkforLife3 @vrgldh 😂 similar experiences available in several other coffee shops these days.

This rendering by AJ Capital for the new Belle Meade Plaza development is ridiculous. This is supposed to be the backside of the development. One glaring omission: there is a train track that runs directly behind the property.

That looks really good. It says something about the United States that our McDonald's restaurants don't have McCafe sections.
