Happy to see this STR trend, but Tennessee tourism would like a word.

6) And ultimately this Airbnb crash was to be expected. The pandemic is over. Fewer people are working from home / vacationing in states like Montana, Texas, and Tennessee. So the demand is way down. Just as the Airbnb supply went way up. So you get a crash.

Interesting stats here, but I had to laugh at “a vacation town called Sevierville”. Also, “Smokey” is the bear, not the mountains.

3) Another area with huge exposure is Eastern Tennessee. Particularly a vacation town called Sevierville in the Smokey Mountains. In this county there's 10x as many Airbnbs as homes listed for sale. While the revenue per owner is down nearly 50%. Yikes.

Last month I joked about writing a guide to life after your parents die, and a bunch of you were like, yes, please do that. So I did: deadparentswhatnow.com/

My Parents Are Dead: What Now?

Have one or more of your parents recently died? This site will help you navigate the financial and legal aftermath of death - funerals, wills, probate, insurance, taxes and more.

This is weird, but if I put together some kind of “Your Parents Are Dead: What Now?” guide with everything I learn during this depressing paperwork nightmare, would anyone be interested?

Good news: Automakers are finally realizing that car touchscreens are a disaster. Drivers hate them, and they're also dangerously distracting. Buttons and knobs are poised for a comeback. Me, in @Slate slate.com/business/2023/04/c…

The Glorious Return of an Old-School Car Feature

Automakers are starting to admit that a new car technology didn’t work out.

Is there a You’re Wrong About-style look back at AG’s career for recovering evangelicals? I would read that.

We've long discussed the difficulty of folks getting out of the path of end-of-month storms such as Katrina, Laura, #HurricaneIan because of that's when they have the least money and the most bills coming up. 1/x

This (VERY PROFANE) video is up to 144,000 views in about 12 hours. Chattanooga road rage incident from Thursday afternoon. I have a feeling police are "thisclose" to ID'ing this citizen. Amazing video, sound, and pics. Maybe you can help. youtube.com/watch?v=iZB1GtEx…

This lady I know who has had Covid 3 times and still doesn’t mask in public said her reasoning is “She doesn’t live in fear.” What is y’all’s obsession with thinking having no fear is healthy? It’s giving you need to see a therapist.

I DESPISE this trend. It’s a big part of why I’m still driving a 2005 Accord.

I'm working on a big feature about pandemic parenting — the wrinkles and shadows and agonies and triumphs, past and present. If you want to get into the nitty gritty of your experience, I want to talk. Here's where we start: forms.gle/SKxpb7zACvZzJ9Fr5

I call this “being stranger adjacent”, and places like estate sales and thrift stores are generally where I like to get my fix.
Dr. Jessie Stern@JessAStern28 Apr 2022
Can we talk about the simultaneous desire to feel connected to people but also to be left the hell alone? Is there a word for this feeling?

Such sad news this AM. The Ocoee White Water Center is a total loss. Video sent to me from Deputy Sheriff Tyler Nelms of Polk County. We are learning more to how this fire started.

Our days have accumulated tasks and responsibilities that behave like invasive plants: if you neglect their maintenance, even for a day, they threaten to pull the entire enterprise asunder: annehelen.substack.com/p/how…
