Support the independent media!
If you want big tech, the major TV networks, Facebook and the elites to control the narrative for the foreseeable future, support them, give them your time, your attention and your impressionable minds. If you value local, independent sources across the country unbeholden to following the herd mentality and the talking points, interpretations and opinions of the establishment, get involved with the independent media: interact with them, read them, advertise with them, share them.
Nowadays, everyone is an independent media outlet. Whether posting a half-informed, knee-jerk statement or filming their head for hours on end and posting rambling YouTube videos, nearly anyone can instantly share their ideas and opinions with the world. Overall, I’d say that’s a good thing. There is a lot of noise out there, though: many posts, videos and comments are just not very well thought out or researched; some contain inaccuracies or ideas that may not work very well. The quality ideas and true information should rise to the top, right?
You may not really want to hear anyone else’s statements on Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but I did try to provide a fair and thorough reflection of the Murfreesboro community’s reaction to this important event in our nation’s history.
Another topic to consider: What can we do to work together to help the community eat more locally sourced foods and combat the rising costs and declining nutritional values of the food conglomerates?
If you have a locally produced food, and if the Pulse could be of use in promoting your operation’s mission within the Murfreesboro area, let’s talk: bracken@boropulse.com.
Try not to allow the people who are unhelpful to your goals to steal your precious time. Draw close to those who support and encourage.
Music in the Park returns to Stones River National Battlefield this month. The Pulse is pleased to be working with these fine local musicians once again in promoting local musical expression and history.
The businesses keep on coming. The people keep on coming. It’s wild how rapidly Murfreesboro continues to grow and expand. But it’s a wonderful place to be, and that’s why it continues to draw new people.
A crowded local restaurant scene is a good thing as well, right? The good ones will rise to the top. A marketplace of options and ideas. As I said before: Many of the restaurants that do not survive appear to have displayed halfhearted commitments to customer service, food quality, keeping price points reasonable, speed, marketing and branding, cleanliness, nutrition and ambiance. I received a little pushback to that statement, but still generally observe it to be accurate.
What have you cooked lately? Some of the recent dishes prepared in the Mayo kitchen include General Tso’s chicken, crepes Suzette and steak tacos.
Keep on kicking. Keep on discovering.
Until next time—to all the little Pulsamaniacs out there—peace!
