Memphis on the internet.
Hearts and Flames
Last week, The Tennessee Holler broke news that Lt. Governor Randy McNally (R-Oak Ridge) left several comments on steamy Instagram posts from a young, gay male named Franklyn McClur. McNally did so from his verified Insta with the username @ltgovmcnally.
McNally’s press team fired back, saying the Holler implied “something sinister or inappropriate about a great-grandfather’s use of social media.”
“Does he always use the proper emoji at the proper time?” the comms team asked. “Maybe not. But he enjoys interacting with constituents and Tennesseans of all religions, backgrounds, and orientations on social media. He has no intention of stopping.”
Salary Talk
Memphians got real about how much money they make last week on the Memphis subreddit with the “salary transparency thread.” Here’s a sample:
u/EbbFit4548: “Late 30s, 10 years teaching experience, high school social studies teacher, 3 Masters degrees, $56,000/year.”
u/angusbethune: “Just south of 40, finance director, BBA, MBA, CPA, $210,000 (salary and target bonus) plus stock incentives that vary.”
u/SkydroLnMEyeball: “FedEx aircraft mechanic, ~$145,000 before [overtime].”
u/PoppaRayngo: “Lawyer … Practicing for six years. Law degree. Early 30s, $120,272.”
Springing
Spring sprung early this year no matter what your calendar says.
