MEMernet: Drama, Kinfolk, Damn

Sputnik shows out, a restaurant needs help, and AI predicts the weather.

Memphis on the internet.

Drama

We’ve seen a lot of photos of Sputnik over the years but maybe never one so dramatic as Danielle Lewis posted to the Memphis In Pictures, Places and People Facebook group last week. 

Kinfolk

Posted to GoFundMe by Josh Clark

Josh Clark started a GoFundMe for Kinfolk restaurant last week after a water main busted and flooded their shop. 

“They are gonna be out of business for a little bit so they won’t have any cash flow to come in and help cover employee cost,” Clark said. “In a city where all of our favorite restaurants are closing down, let’s show our support to our favorite spot.” 

As of late last week, the GoFundMe had raised $1,380 of its $2,500 goal.

The Damn Weather of Memphis can’t stop messing with AI. He recently asked it to write a weather forecast for the city. 

“Yo, listen up, cuh!” it began. “It’s finna be hot as hell out here, mane. On god, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., it’s gon’ feel like 112 degrees. Not gonna lie, fam, it’s serious out here.”
