There's a song on our new album called, "The Jimmy Carter Hammer Song." :) We're fans.

I limit my news intake. I used to have news on somewhere in the house all day every day. Now it's a couple of hours a day, and I count @thedailyshow.com and @colbertlateshow.bsky.social as news.

I've been watching Portlandia for hours a day thanks to YouTube TV.

Jimmy Fallon's new "On Brand" looks like a remake of the Apprentice.
Bad look, Jimmy.

Yeah - Cardinals fan here. Wr haven’t had a dog in the race for a while. I would’ve rooted for the Guardians, but now it’s anyone but the Brewers, Cubs, Yankees, or Dodgers.

I'm totally rooting for them.

We finally got 5G T-Mobile internet where I live and it works great. Between that and YouTube TV, we have everything we had with Xfinity for about 100 bucks less a month.
In case you were wondering.

Going back over photos from our trip to Scotland. I'm still astounded at the beauty even in monochrome. Dunkeld, Inverness, and Melrose.

Tonight my 7 year old piano student came in and told me, "Today I saw ICE at my church and everyone was yelling to stay in our car." He said it was scary. His family made it home ok. They live 3 doors down from me. These are my neighbors. They shouldn't be living in fear.

HEY! GUESS WHAT!?? We have the new CDs in our grubby mitts! You can order them directly from us if you want a physical copy. The album officially drops on all streaming platforms on October 25. wattledaubmusic.com/album/369807...

Something subtly subversive to make it through trying times.

Question for @weissmann.substack.com - maybe for next week's podcast? Is there any legal action that can be taken to force Mike Johnson to swear in US Rep elect Adelita Grijalva?

Susan @smocarski.bsky.social · 18h

Wow. Yes. Excellent.

Susan @smocarski.bsky.social · 18h

I’m here every day. Tip your servers. 😂

Damn I'm old. I remember buying that album when it came out. Going to see David Byrne on Halloween!

"You were made of every love and each regret, up until the day we met. There are no words that I'm afraid to hear unless they are, 'good-bye, my dear' Still..."
Elvis Costello. If someone asked me, what was my favorite lyric ever, it might be this one.

Susan @smocarski.bsky.social · 1d

Right!!
