a woman is standing in front of a camera while a man is taking a picture of her . Alt: Scene from the movie Poltergeist where the medium declares “this house is clean” after the spirit has been exorcised from the house.

Also finally took care of some long-overdue cleaning

Sitting outside on a perfect 78 degree day and smelling an apple cake baking in the oven through my open windows as I read a novel about the pleasures of being alive. Perfect.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

Birmingham. I love the botanical garden, and it’s free.

Also Chattanooga is maybe the too-obvious choice, but depending on what one wanted to do the Ocoee river road area to the east would probably be particularly lovely this time of year.

Every day there’s a fresh reason to delete your accounts.

I never even put them in the dryer!

My favorite pair of summer pants have torn after just one season and being linen are too thin to repair. I am so salty about it, and it’s partially my fault since this brand has hurt me like this before.

“I am a bit concerned because people are using AI to cut costs, and one of those costs is my pay,” Richardson said. “But at the same time, they find out that they can’t really do it without humans. They’re not getting the content that they want from AI…”

How can every US holiday for the past 4+ years have “record travel”? Media outlets never contextualize the “record” being set or broken, and I have a hard time believing that the number of air travelers just keeps increasing exponentially.

Someone who knows please tell me. I need a 10-year graph!

Ok this is potentially life changing - I just started having issues with acid in coffee about a month ago and was wondering if I was going to have to stop, but I’m gonna try the salt thing! That and maybe brewing it a little weaker, I do mine very robust lol

This is very encouraging, because I have a day next week set aside for this very thing. It’s good to know success is possible.

The summer I turned pretty feral

This is Archibald. He's been holding in a sneeze since last September. Finally let it loose. 13/10 bless you buddy

@philinvestigates.com @nc5official.bsky.social @wpln.bsky.social @nashvillebanner.bsky.social @tennesseelookout.com Has Gov. Lee released a statement on this? As a Tennessean I’ve got questions.

For now I’m leaving the apps alone, but then again I’m also telling myself there’s a non-zero chance that I meet someone at a (I think) large 50th wedding anniversary party I’m attending tomorrow, so that’s about how things are going on the dating front, lol

I’ve also been doing not great and have found myself contemplating the apps again - this is so real.

This had a huge impact on me leaving Instagram. I could scan a paragraph and get info in 30 seconds, but instead I get a 3-minute video where someone breathlessly over-explains it to me.

An administration that does not understand the concept of integrity. It’s foreign to them.

I saw their piece on snack wraps on Talk of the Town yesterday, and I’m kind of shocked that it made it into a 2nd day’s news cycle.

😂 Ok so I have a box in 3 rooms - I have constant allergies and occasional crying, but also I grew up in a Kleenex culture home. It never occurred to me that there were no-Kleenex houses, so this is eye-opening.

To paraphrase Michael Bolton from Office Space, “Why should I move, when they’re the ones who suck?”

Sometimes people describe politics and they go “the pendulum swings one way, and then the other” but when did the pendulum swing away from the rich and towards the poor? Did I miss that?

Having big feelings about broken glass … but not broken families… is abnormal

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

A sincere thank you from this online stranger. 🫡 NashSevereWX is an icon, and I hope as you rebalance you find everything you need in this next chapter and then some.

Ooo I’ve fallen behind and learned from this post that you were doing Gilead, that book slaps so hard and I’m going to run not walk to go listen!

(Your mileage may vary, but I hope whoever read it had a nice time!)
