@kentremendous.bsky.social I'm sure I'm not the first or only one to make this joke/request/demand, but now that we're two seasons in, isn't it time for a Marc Evan Jackson-hosted "A Man On The Inside: The Podcast"?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who flinches and winces when I see a pre-2001 image of the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

Now we get to feel that way about photos of the White House.

Great. Again.

If this is the kind of unhinged "I approve this message..." pre-midterm replacement election advertising we're getting now, the mind wobbles at the toxic nonsense we're going to be inundated with this time next year. #TNPolitics

Every unemployed coach with NFL experience is checking flights to Nashville right now. #TitanDown

I think we need to stop referring to the current regime as "2.0." The first go-round was clearly the beta testing. Then they refined it away from public scrutiny, field testing it on school boards and state legislatures. We're now experiencing the gold release as they truly intended.

Why is it almost every ruling can be summed up with the response “YOU THINK?!?”

At least the Titans get off the top of the list for Dumbest Trade of the 2020s. #micahparsons

Peacefully rest, Atlanta Journal-Constitution print edition. Both shocking that it's happening, and not-so-much considering the paper's private equity ownership. Will be interesting to see how many others follow suit. Regardless, sad to see. www.ajc.com/business/202...
AJC to move to fully digital publication, phase out print Dec. 31
The AJC will continue to publish distinctive journalism every day and with urgency on its website, mobile app, as well as through video, podcasts and other digital platforms.

I don't even know why I bother to shake my head and mutter "Unbelievable..." when seeing the latest piece of regime news.

Looks like the producers of the new "9-1-1 Nashville" show underestimated just how much locals don't want to go downtown on a weekday morning.
Volunteers still needed for ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ concert scene
Just two days after announcing the need for thousands of volunteers to serve as extras in a massive concert scene for the new TV series “9-1-1: Nashville,” the casting director has closed down the …

Take a deep breath, Nashville-based techbrofans. "Between 2017 and 2021, The Boring Company canceled or postponed similar projects in Chicago; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; the California cities of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Jose; and one from Baltimore to Washington, DC."

Every morning zoo/sports talk radio show has either “Crazy Train,” “War Pigs” or both cued up as their bumper music this morning. #ozzy

A Nashville transit haiku triptych:

Ellington Parkway,
why dost thou often vex me?
I loathe my commute.

WeGo driver does
not sense me on the right side.
Good thing my brakes work.

Crosswalk lollygaggers
oblivious to schedule.
Rage making daily.

Meanwhile, the "most powerful man in the world" celebrates the passing of the single-most unforced financial error in the history of the country with a press conference at a concentration camp format he hopes will turn into a franchise. Good thing the justices have started their summer vacations.

The most unbelievable thing about the new #Superman movie isn't that a man can fly. It's that a newsroom can have that many windows and that much natural light.

A quick reminder, especially for those of us who create media intended to inform: We don’t have to swing at every pitch. Take that however you choose.

Between Metro's texts and phone calls, the native iOS Weather app, the Storm Radar app, sirens and NWS/NOAA notifications on multiple devices, I think I've been well-alerted to all the weather-related things going on over the past 12 hours. Who else needs a nap? #NashvilleWeather

Finally getting around to watching the SNL50 music doc, “Ladies and Gentlemen…”. The first seven minutes might be the best music video ever assembled. Massive kudos to Questlove and his team.

@hallublin.bsky.social Y’all got all the current great/terrible things about Nashville spot on. 12South is great (when you can find parking), downtown is insane and there are far too many bachelorette parties. Nashville rules…asked and and answered. (Sorry, Mark.)

Amazing how many recently minted experts in vaccines, secondary and higher education, socialism, constitutional law and geopolitics are now also suddenly experts in DDoS attacks.
