MEMernet: Mistake Loop, Newsom on Memphis, and Comment of the Week

Memphis on the internet.

Mistake Loop

We had fun on Instagram last week satirizing the completely made up River City Mistake Loop. Elon Musk was to drill the tunnel from the airport to the old Better Than Retail building in Cooper-Young. The move was to have made no sense but was an example of how “shit runs in Memphis.” 

Newsom on Memphis 

Posted to X by Governor Newsom Press Office

Memphis surfaced in the national conversation about where Trump could send National Guard troops next. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office posted the infographic above. 

Comment of the Week

Posted to Reddit by LimberGravy

Memphis Reddit user loodog said they wrote state Representative John Gillespie (R-Memphis) to oppose National Guard deployment in D.C. Gillespie allegedly responded with “You are pro crime. I am fighting for safer streets.” 

To this, LimberGravy posted a picture of a fictional Halloween costume: “Conservative Guy Scared of Cities.” The description includes “saw that thing on the news” and more.
