Yikes, the Scene just gonna basically reprint the R’s press release without questioning if they want to take it over so they can control what gets sent out? Come on now.
Tennessee's House and Senate leaders have committed to provide “100% funding” for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in the state’s 2027 budget.
The state can keep their f-ing hands off Dolly’s Imagination Library, thank you very much. 😡
If all these posthumous squares could talk, what a party there’d be in the park tonight. ❤️🦋
Just over 11 years since I saw Dolly at the Ryman, to this day one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. From a cappella Little Sparrow to a bad ass electric guitar medley, she was beautifully brilliant and such a joy. 🦋
Dolly Parton was not a billionaire, because multi-millionaires who are good people like her never get past that last finish line. Not when there are kids who need books to read and sick people who need vaccines.
every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸
Idc how hot it is, I’ll just be here until further notice. 💔 Thank you Dolly
hola we are vuelta cyclists we need to commandeer this building
Lee & hand-picked, unelected board are already trying to maximize profits for toll lane pals by quietly expanding toll lanes further into Nashville’s core, worsening traffic and lengthening an already 7-year construction boondoggle planned for I-24. Public comment needed at 1:45 today at TN Tower!

NEW STORY This profile of Joe Bell was a labor of love, about one man who's spent his entire adult life painting bicycles—and also about the meaning of craftmanship in an era shaped by AI, online everything and corporate consolidation. Poured a lot into this one. escapecollective.com/joe-bell-god...
Judah & the Lion giving me life on this Tuesday afternoon, Grimey’s in-stores are always worth risking Gallatin ❤️👏 (Their new album is awesome btw.)
On this day in 1957, hundreds of white residents terrorized a Black family who bought a house in an all-white community in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania.

As happy as a pig in… Something that hopefully will draw a small smile to you at the close of the weekend X
'If you're heading out on your bike in the next few days give him a thought as you clip in' – Finlay Tarling's parents issue public message following son's death www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/...
Dammit. Can’t even escape it in a f-ing professional bike race (random car came on the course). Devastating news.

Scenes from today’s walk at the Percy Priest Dam. Whenever the flood gates are open, I am reminded of a story about three men who planned to blow up the dam. Once destroyed, they expected the water to flow into and flood downtown Nashville. Once Broadway was flooded, they planned to dive into 1/3
East Nashville Skyline was neck and neck with “Tomatoland” Opryland send up for best parade entry. Sharkmato gets honorable mention. 🍅👏 #Tomatofest
On this day in 1964, the bodies of three missing civil rights workers—James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner—were found in Longdale, Mississippi, shot and buried in a shallow grave.

Really @freddieoconnell.bsky.social? I kept the context because I’m a reasonable person, but come on, this visual, along with zero mention elsewhere in the “Nashville This Week” summary that people were mowed down on Broadway, not great. Even had an opening w/the LiDAR mention further down.
I don’t make the rules, if you are within the sound of my skeet you are contractually obligated to watch. Have they sent this out on a space capsule yet, to greet the aliens? Get on that NASA.
The whole thing, because Zendaya, as the kids say (?), EATS.
The live news feed of downtown where the pedestrian was killed is maybe not a great idea. Reporters and politicians walking around with that weird giddy adrenaline at a story.
Australian commercials, we meet again. Will be especially fun if Spratt can pull it out. #TDFF #WatchTheFemmes
Here for Denmark’s cycling infrastructure 😍 (yeah and Wout and civilian Jonas cuteness) #TourOfDenmark
