Composer and music prof. at Wichita State. I definitely indoctrinate our nation’s youths.
Welp. That’s pretty much everything you need to know about me…

(There would probably be a couple St. Louis Blues podcasts on here if it weren’t so painful to think about how bad they are at hockey.)

@mattbakerstl.bsky.social missed the stream tonight so forgive me of this came up: I see lots of armchair managers on Reddit saying that “Hack is not the answer” long term. Other than lack of experience at this level, where do you think this attitude comes from? I was impressed with him in 2024.

PK Suban wearing sequins and gesturing at a video board with a backwards hockey stick makes me feel like I’m having an episode. Is this real life?

Whether it was Joe Biden with his halting pauses or Donald Trump with his repeated promises to destroy our democracy and plunge us into a world of tyranny and economic collapse, both candidates gave voters plenty to worry about

The last few semesters, WSU has been using an AI voice to read graduate names in commencement ceremonies. I find it to be very off-putting. Is this practice common? Are other universities doing this?

Utahans, it’s very important to know that this anti-pride flag law specifically defines a flag as “…a usually rectangular piece of fabric…”. Giant sheets of painted plywood are not flags. Says so right here: le.utah.gov/~2025/bills/...

“Fuggler” means _funny_ ugly monster, not whatever _you_ were thinking. Get your head out of the gutter…

Tomorrow night the Wichita Thunder hockey team has a special Military Appreciation Night. The game is against the Allen Americans. You read that right. For Military Appreciation Night, the Americans are the bad guys…

We blew our engagement photography budget on hockey tickets so this is what you get (St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, and Wichita Thunder)
