“Forcing publishers to choose between surrendering their off-platform IP or forfeiting a primary channel of public communication is a gross abuse of Meta’s power as a powerful platform with critical access to consumers,” Schiff wrote. buff.ly/3CRF8ov

CT has updated our story w/ a note about Marshall appearing on stage at a CREC congregation, pastored by Kyle Lammott, and that links to @briankaylor.bsky.social's coverage. Also, I followed-up with Lammott about this. Thanks again, Brian & @jackjenkins.me. www.christianitytoday.com/2026/10/midt...

Republican congressional candidate Brent Taylor asks voters to forgive past sexual advances as "youthful indiscretions."

There was a sale. We stocked up. It's a classic American story.

Lorenzo Washington, who dedicated himself to honoring and preserving the legacy of Black music in North Nashville through his Jefferson Street Sound Museum, died Wednesday at 83. ✍️ @iamstevenhale.bsky.social

Jack Cawthon, who built Jack’s BBQ into one of Nashville’s signature restaurants, died on Wednesday at 80. His relentless cheerleading helped create the city’s modern food scene. ✍️ @scavendish.bsky.social

Nashville's food scene is what it is today in part because of people like Jack Cawthon, who relelentlessly cheered on their peers and revelled in their success. Oh, and he made pretty great barbecue, too. nashvillebanner.com/2026/10/21/n...

Jack Cawthon, the proprietor of Jack's BBQ, passed away last night. RIP to a food giant in Nashville.

[slow clap]

Tape Op co-founder Larry Crane has a new book, ‘Making Music,’ and a Grimey’s appearance 10.29 at 4pm. He joined Jason Moon Wilkins to talk shop, including a subject Jason never tires of: Elliott Smith. Hear more on New Music Experience, Mon 3 + 9pm CT. Supported by Imogene + Willie

The only Brotherhood I avow

This is pretty incredible

Reset the clocks! The Titans get their first win 26-20 with the defense holding on two final drives to beat the Colts. Snaps an 11-game skid inside the AFC South. Snaps a 7-game skid.

I was going to bitch about having the bottom Fox team calling this Titans game, but then I started thinking … maybe Chris Myers is actually a masochist and asked the network to be sent to call Titans-Colts. Maybe he loves watching this slop.

Now that is commitment…

She didn’t even outlast the carton of milk I bought last week.

RIP to the Scarammucci as a unit of measure for length of tenure. All hail the Zacharia, which is apparently 5 days

Packed house at the Davidson County Election Commission for the certification of a charter referendum on the speedway at the fairgrounds.

The only thing we learned from tonight's NSC game is that really good teams pound really bad teams in MLS. SKC is awful. And Nashville dispatched them early and the second half was a canter.

BREAKING: Hany still good at futbol

Some context: Phelan is a deep conservative but was for years the No. 1 nemesis of the far right and Ken Paxton, whose impeachment Phelan oversaw. He famously warned in 2019 that the party needed to move on from "bashing on the gay community."

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Some MLS executives turn their DP spots into gold. Others watch millions go to waste. @aclausen90.bsky.social evaluated the Designated Player signings made by every team's chief soccer officer to learn who’s best at spending big. Find out where your team's CSO ranks ⤵️

Tailgate buying Yazoo is a "nothing gold can stay" kind of moment for the Nashville food scene.

The Banner has obtained heavily redacted audio and transcripts of the calls made the night Christa Pike’s execution failed.

According to released 9-1-1 calls, chaos and confusion delayed an ambulance’s response to Riverbend Prison on the night of Christa Pike’s botched execution. As a result, it took 35 minutes for medical assistance to arrive. ✍️ @mikeiereiland.bsky.social & @genuinehumandk.bsky.social

Christa Pike has been discharged from the hospital and brought back to the women’s prison in Nashville where she was incarcerated for more than 30 years before her failed execution. nashvillebanner.com/2026/10/10/c...

Nashville SC can clinch the Supporters’ Shield as soon as Wednesday. They need to beat Austin and Sporting KC, and get help, including Vancouver losing to LAFC and St. Louis, and St. Louis not beating the Galaxy.

it's Adam and Intelligence not Steve and Intelligence

The corruption and grift is on a scale we have never seen 'Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor: She needed $100k that she said she owed AmEx—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

More significant change inside the #Titans organization. Adam Nuse, Erin Swartz and Charles Jensen are leaving, while Burke Nihill is consolidating major business functions under a new executive position. The Titans declined my request to interview Nihill, but here's his internal memo:

Nashville SC 'keeper Brian Schwake starts for the #USMNT 🇺🇸

Christa Pike is conscious and speaking less than a week after surviving her scheduled execution, her attorneys said Tuesday. @iamstevenhale.bsky.social @nashvillebanner.bsky.social

A day after President Trump said his super PAC would pay for television ads promoting him that had been funded by taxpayers, White House officials said the group did not plan to reimburse the government for the more than $10 million it had already spent on the ads. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/u...

The US could lose by 20 to Canada and it wouldn’t affect my feeling about this international break. What a group of kids.

NEW: Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada has resigned as head of the state’s prison system after the state’s second botched execution of this year. ✍️ @iamstevenhale.bsky.social

President Trump directed staff to use taxpayer money for TV ads praising him and his presidency, setting in motion a $20 million contract that used funds from the Department of Homeland Security, according to people familiar with the matter. nyti.ms/4jBqx63

I could watch the last 8-10 passes in this sequence on a loop all day.
