A desert landscape in which the foreground is dotted with green shrubs and the background consists of mountains and two small peaks at the center. The sky is a warm yellow-orange due to the just-rising Sun. A large ocotillo cactus sticks up on the left side of the frame.
A photo of a desert landscape featuring rugged mountains under a cloudy sky just after sunrise. The foreground includes various desert plants with sunlight peeking behind a mountain peak, creating a warm glow and highlighting natural terrain textures.

You know who really “hates Nashville”? The Republicans who did this to the city to steal their representation, while refusing to have a single town hall there ever. (cc: Speaker Sexton, @SenJohnson @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @RepJohnRose @MattForTN @RepMarkGreen @SenatorHagerty )

Calling the radio station to request a song so you could tape it
If the universe is taking requests, I’d like @rufus-wainwright.bsky.social to cover the Grant Hart songbook please
