Good afternoon, everyone. President Donald Trump spoke for 1 hour and 40 minutes last night, finishing his speech just short of 11 p.m. EST. It was the longest Joint Address of Congress in history. Iâm baffled that official government business runs that late. Metro Council meetings typically run well into the night, with last nightâs adjourning around 11 p.m. CST. Meganâs got more on that below.

Good afternoon, everyone. Enjoy the fourth of Tennessee's twelve seasons today, Spring of Deception. A high of 78ºF. Savor it. Onward. As food prices rise, tariffs loom, and Waffle House announces a $0.50 surcharge on eggs—giving “scattered and covered” new meaning—here’s a tough question for Tennessee: Are we good with losing what’s left of our farmland at a blistering pace, or should we at least do for family farmers what other states have done?

Protecting the legacy and prosperity of Tennessee’s farmers: a recurring priority set by Governor Bill Lee throughout his administration. “In our state, they keep food on our tables, they drive our economy,” he said during his State of the State address last week. “However, our state is , which is a staggering number when agriculture is the number one driver of our economy.”Once again, the governor has called upon the General Assembly to establish the Farmland Conservation Act.

As popular as they are, the problem with Hallmark Christmas movies and their imitators is that they can never quite capture the emotional weight of the holidays because they do everything they can to avoid the bittersweet. The tales of pitch perfectly decorated small towns and put-together singletons finding a second chance at love pass the time well enough, but, as Tyler Taormina’s Christmas Eve in Miller’s Pointproves, the holiday is about much more than meet cutes.

It may be an exaggeration to proclaim that the Jews created contemporary American humor. Still, much less enduring hilarity would have ensued over the last seven decades without the likes of Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Jerry Seinfeld, The Coen Brothers, or Nichols and May.

Good afternoon, everyone. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Football season's back, but not before we get through another scorcher of a week. Until and unless we get some rain this weekend, it's looking like temps will hover around 100ºF at their peak. Beat the heat with us at Bar Hours on Thursday evening. RSVP here to get the location. Onward. The dog days of August are almost over.

The unfortunate result of hip-hop’s pop-music domination is that its status as a revolutionary form has become flattened. It’s a globally popular genre sharing stories from the streets.

Gen Z hates the salacious. It’s become a truism with Hollywood sex scenes declining 40% since the pre-9/11 days. Blame #MeToo or the psychological ravages of COVID, but cinema has largely lost its edge—less raw and much more palpable as Focus on the Family and the brat behind the coffee counter now share an endgame more similar than one would have imagined. The new puritanism is not so much against sex, but discomfort.

Good afternoon, everyone. I, like many of you, was glued to my phone Saturday after learning about Trump’s miraculously dodging a bullet from the gun of a would-be assassin. For better or worse, it is through media, both social and news, that we commune with these events. The same was true of the Covenant tragedy. At the time, I wrote critically of the way the media presented the event, stealing the stage from the six victims and turning their deaths into a political totem.
