Tennessee governors and biz dev leaders have been on a years-long odyssey to woo foreign investment.

Offering incentives, including training programs to cultivate a workforce in some areas.

Paused, delayed investment from tariffs could be a blow to both urban and rural areas:

1,000+ foreign companies have invested $47 billion+ in Tennessee and employ >161,900 people, per the TN ECD.

Sometimes you start the day with @wired.com, sometimes the @economist.com. Today it's @cnbc.com to see the stocks drop

hello tariffs, hello consumer tax.

Appreciate @wired.com's upfront and unflinching coverage of Musk and his unelected rampage through federal agencies and access to sensitive data.

Proud to be a years long subscriber. Happy more people are intro'd to imperative of a tech-focused news org connecting tech to culture, politics + law.

@penamerica.bsky.social has a robust Index of School Book Bans w/ a search by state.

I'm a new-ish member of PEN America because of their vital, tireless efforts to shed light on U.S. book bans.

Book bans are proxies for fear of independent thought and self-determination.

Reminder!

#Medicare open enrollment deadline is Dec. 7.

As a POA, I must check #PartD plan updates every year because insurers invariably make costly changes to Rx tiers, especially for people who are prescribed costly Rx's like Lantus and Novolog.

Staying put would have = ~$10k more per yr

We had the gorgeous fortune of walking through two golden blankets of ginkgo leaves today, hours after each tree dropped all of its leaves.

Love the ginkgo!

Hi to all the BlueSky newcomers!

I joined a while ago to stay with my T2 friends iykyk.

I'm a journalist, experimenter + editorial director in Nashville who def loves a meme, coffee, a scone, and news.

Living life as a catmom to a dog - Crispin, who just wants to have fun and carry the mail.

Sunday was International Stuttering Awareness Day; tbh there needs to be more talk.

It's challenging to be a stutterer. It wasn't long ago when IQ stigmas were common
I was stoked intvw a renowned geneticist about why a DNA-EHR research project was key
