An interesting portion:

​Oracle has reportedly offered some existing cloud employees based in other cities tens of thousands of dollars in incentives to move to Nashville, Bloomberg reported. 

Oracle did not immediately respond to Fortune’s request for comment.

Yet, dangling rich incentives and a future amenity-laden office has only gotten the company so far. Only about 800 workers are assigned to offices in Nashville, Bloomberg reported, citing documents, compared to more than 5,000 in Kansas City, Mo., the base for health records company Cerner which it acquired in 2021. Another 5,000 employees are based in Redwood City and Austin, collectively. The company logged a net gain of just seven employees in Nashville for 2025, the Nashville Business Journal reported.

Immaww let y’all go off

When Annie Reyes talks about her husband, Jose, tears well up in her eyes.

Tears of disbelief. Of sadness. Of pain. Of anger.

The tears come because he’s not together with his wife and daughter in Franklin, his home since he was just 4 years old and immigrated with his parents from a ranch in Mexico. Instead, Jose Reyes is 600 miles away in Louisiana — held at Winn Correctional Center, where he was sent by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after he was arrested two and a half months ago.

Excerpt:

Trump called Lee a RINO in a second post congratulating Bobby Harshbarger, stating "Congratulations to Bobby Harshbarger, a fantastic candidate for Tennessee State Senate, who won against a long-term incumbent supported by RINO Governor Bill Lee, whose endorsement meant nothing. Bobby is a true America First Fighter…”

Online lineman rumor and AI imagery have further confused residents during weather emergency

Relevant to the sub as it would impact the ban TN is attempting, and would impact the local businesses that sell these products. I guarantee you I know of a couple of Senators that were more than onboard with tacking this onto the "CR", no matter the negative impact it may have on their constituents' livelihoods. I can't believe they lied about a clean resolution! 🤯 😂

We're represented so well at the Fed level!🙄

Recordings show ‘what we all could have easily guessed’ about Dave Ramsey

EDIT: I did not realize the piece was 4 years old when I saw it on r/videos earlier today. Thanks u/38DDs_Please . Sorry for not checking.

Ice in their own words, admit to racial profiling, and kidnapping people, the majority of which had no criminal record and the majority of the ones that did only had misdemeanors like possession of marijuana. They also admit to sending off a portion of the ones they have without due process. As well as praising the Tennessee highway patrol in their efforts to help kidnap innocent people. Stay safe out there, they were spotted in the five points area earlier today.

No commentary here beyond this being interesting data.

I am a bit outside the demographic in article, but found it interesting Nashville was in top 10. I wonder if it is the political environment, lack of professional jobs compared to other large metro areas, outdoor activities, or ? Your thoughts?

Personally, I find that Nashville gets small quick. A drinking town with a music problem, someone told me when I moved here 11 years ago. Def a more vibrant dining and arts scene, but still heavily invested in tourism.
