🏳️‍🌈🐶 dad. Nashville is where I proudly hang my hat, but I tend to put my hoodies on backwards and/or inside out. 🫤 Team whipped cream in my coffee. ☕️ I promise to put money in the swear jar. No DMs, please.

To attack Mexico only to earn a nickname after one of its most popular dishes is unexpected karma.

It’s very hit or miss here. Some of my posts get zilch, others get some love (like 5-10), and occasionally I’ll have a big one.

Also, people do filter out keywords (like profanity or anyone in current government) so that will reduce eyeballs.

I know it’s not alliterative and as catchy, but did they crash on Commerce and 2nd? I saw Brugada and Another Broken Egg Cafe in the background.

Nobody in his circle cares about him, just the power from SCOTUS to fulfill their darkest wishes without repercussion under the guise of “official” business.

So does that make ED a meltdown?

B. @nashbrian.bsky.social · 16h

So I have questions…

- Where is this bar that Blue was stripping at, and can you really pull $180K/year?
- Did someone forget to give Danielle Breezy a Diet Pepsi?
- Will LeAnn Rimes warble out Can’t Fight The Moonlight one more time?

Such a coincidence that Lisa Cook and Letitia James have been accused of the same crime. 🤔

Now we know why Marsha’s skirted town halls for seven years and already refused to debate her challenger for TN governor.

I can already see the TVA issuing rolling blackouts due to Elon’s little project in Memphis.

That unqualified for anything reality TV moron put in charge doesn’t know his history or how short they are on ATCs to be tossing out intimidation like this.

Watch how quickly large corporations & airlines shove an aircraft up his ass if ATC & TSA decide to say F U.

I’m going to have to keep tabs on where Saap Saap pops up around Nashville. The idea of BBQ pork and red curry coconut rice sounds rather comforting.

D. Patrick Rodgers @dpatrickrodgers.bsky.social · 1d

My pick for Best Pop-Up is Saap Saap, Clinton Spruill and Amy Watson’s unique blend of Southern barbecue and Laotian food. So good.

Best Pop-Up

Over the past several months, Clinton Spruill and Amy Watson of Saap Saap BBQ have popped up at spots including Bad Idea, Hearts, Rice Vice, Martha My Dear and Lowbar.

That response alone should be grounds for removal.

Will definitely need it tomorrow. Or I might just sleep in. 🤷🏼‍♂️
