To recap: There never was an emergency. Masks don't work. Mass testing was counter-productive. Asymptomatic people are healthy. The vaccine doesn't prevent catching covid.

The “housing expert” Maria McHale is a realtor whose livelihood depends on destroying the social fabric of Knoxville by flooding our real estate market with multifamily homes filled with surly foreigners who hate us. Maria, who prides herself on her foreign heritage, loathes the Tennessee natives that she seeks to displace with her own kin of the AAPI community. It’s convenient that you left out these important details @alliefeinberg - why are you intentionally deceiving your small and dwindling readership?

Oh boy. Imagine Teachers vs. Zoo in Nashville.
A school district in Louisiana says some of its teachers will receive bonuses of more than $50,000 this year thanks to increased tax revenue linked to a Meta data center, per WSJ

Private school (K-12) doesn't come with student loans. The same people who oppose school vouchers based on an academic calculation of a family budget will call for the cancelation of student loans that have been amortized over 10 or 20 years. Average cost for private high school in Nashville about $25,000/year. Range from $15-$40k . Tuition at UTK - $14,000. Comparing apples to apples here. You've to got to house and feed your kid wherever he lives. If you need to know, room and board at UTK is about $15,000/year. I guess some families should just skip their Starbucks.

Number-heavy article, but I should say that numbers based on parents choosing the lowest-cost private school in their county are silly. Tuition cost matters, but values alignment is probably what made a family leave public school and that holds when choosing private school. tennessean.com/story/news/ed…

Today, the @Tennessean reports OnlyFans spending of $138,000 per capita in Nashville. A couple comments: 1. I'm pretty good at per capita. It's in my heritage. 2. I'm having trouble understanding this statistic 3. Obviously, it is not per every of the 700,000 people in Nashville (although that's what the sentence implies) 4. Could it possibly be that there are 70 people in Nashville subscribed to OnlyFans and they spent an average of $138,000 each? (70*138,000=$9.66 million)

Okay. I went to the source data and maybe by "per capita," the reporter means "per creator." But even that doesn't make sense. The article says there are 26,000 creators in Tennessee who generated $36.3 million. That's $1,396 per creator, not $50K as the article says.

It's terrible. I had chatgpt summarize the article for me. The "per capita" referred to is actually per 10,000 residents. SPENDING PER RESIDENT IN NASHVILLE ON ONLYFANS IS ACTUALLY $13.85/year. tennessean.com/story/money/b…

Update: Nashvillians are not sick freaks, each spending $138,000 a year on OnlyFans. The reporting here is with a pretty liberal definition of per capita where it means per 10,000 people. So, really, Nashville spent $13.80 per person on OnlyFans in 2025. Note: "per capita" translates from Latin to mean "per head." It would be distressing if there were several 10,000-headed monsters looking at porn and then hitting up Broadway.
