X users question Blackburn, a new illustration style, and a happy ending in Bartlett.

Memphis on the internet.

Marsha, Marsha

Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn tweeted, “Merrick Garland appointed David Weiss as special counsel because he knows Weiss will protect Hunter.”

Posted to YouTube by Cat Graffam

YouTuber Cat Graffam explained the style to be “flat, digital illustrations with characters that have exaggerated proportions.” Graffam breaks the whole thing down in a video posted last week.

Posted to X by Bartlett Police

Bartlett Police Department and Bartlett Fire Department rescued a missing child from a storm drain this past weekend and posted the drone footage to X. “Everyone loves a happy ending,” reads the post. We do, too.
