"People across East #Tennessee gathered to protest the #Trump Administration, #ElonMusk and the Dept of Govt Efficiency.
#Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is proposing that local elected officials should be charged with a felony and removed from office if they vote in favor of any policy condoning a "sanctuary city."
That's right: #Republicans want to make it a #FELONY to VOTE a certain way! The obvious next step is to outlaw voting for #Democrats and remove them from office.

We must be close to the good stuff #Knoxville #NuclearHistory #AtomicHeritage #OakRidge
Good morning from #Knoxville, Tennessee! Today we’re heading to American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge. Should be a lot of fun for adults and kiddos. And we get to cross off another item on our #NuclearHistory to-do list.
I have a question for the hive mind. How can I determine what Congressional district I happen to live in? There seem to be at least three districts represented in #Knoxville and I’d like to know which one I’m in.

Here’s a question for all you #foodies who follow me. Our move to #Knoxville is fast approaching, and along with the move comes some changes in the kitchen. Sadly, at our new house there are electric appliances; I’ve loved my gas stove for the past 7 years. The stovetop is a glass top, and here’s where my question is based. For the past 10 or so years I’ve been cooking almost exclusively with cast iron. It truly does make a difference. My father-in-law informed me that one can’t use cast iron on a glass top stovetop. He said this as if it were an undisputed fact, but my Google searches indicate it is in fact possible to use cast iron on glass top, as long as one is careful. So I’m wondering if any of you have had experience using cast iron on glass tops. My feeling is akin to you’ll pry my cast iron from my cold, dead hands.
One thing I’m looking forward to when we relocate to #Knoxville next month is I’ll be within proximity of #Costco for the first time in over a decade. And Trader Joe’s too. And all kinds of culinary options. I’ve always been a city boy at heart, and it will be great to be back in a larger city again.

Tonight: the Pilot Light is the home of experimental music in Knoxville and apparently have an "Out" series Monday nights for purely improvised music. Guy at the door warned me it would be "weird," I assured him I could handle it.
The alarms on our phones went off for this emergency alert, while we were in Cades Cove today, with only emergency satellite signal (no cellular networks). https://www.wbir.com/article/news/local/phone-emergency-alert-knoxville-evacuation-western-avenue/51-2f53842d-a161-444f-bb27-be1cebd2174c
Since we just had the Ring of Fire eclipse and the leaves are turning here in #knoxville I thought it was time to dust off this little story.
"#Tennessee plastics #factory staff killed in #HurricaneHelene #Helene reportedly told not to evacuate
Jacob Ingram, a mold changer at the company, told the #Knoxville News Sentinel that as the flooding started, managers instructed employees to move their cars away from the rising water – but would not let them leave."
Fucking assholes. Sue them into oblivion, unnecessary death
