Playin’

Entrepreneur and community organizer Keedran Franklin was straight up playing on Facebook last week. Over several Facebook posts, he pumped up what would be a huge announcement. Announcement time came, and his sound cut out. It left many laughing and many more like this from Arlen Dewayne Berry.

Franklin had still not revealed his big announcement as of press time. 

A Cannabis Request

“Can y’all not smoke a crap load of weed and then hang out at the zoo around kids?” asked u/criticalmonsterparty over in the Memphis subreddit. “I’m not hating on anyone’s personal preferences, but there was two distinct smells at the zoo today — animal poop and weed.” 

Seeing Double

The subreddit was also enamored with a glorious double rainbow that appeared over the city last week.  

Trophies

“Trophies.” That was the whole Tweet.
