this sucks!
we have like 18 of these types of podcasts, but this one sounds worse than the rest. at this point left-leaving listeners would be much better served by a program examining historical ideas and individuals who are not actively wishing for their extinction

Roseanne Barr is filming a show apparently called "me-maw" at the combination German club/bowling alley where I am in a league (and where we had our wedding reception) and they went over time, had to film an extra day, and bowling was cancelled yesterday. I am gathering my thoughts.

thinking about how the health insurance company came to talk to us about our 'benefits' at my old job, and let us know a colonoscopy would be free - IF they found something. i wonder how many people that put off of checking early

I think it would be really helpful if everyone posting their very cool takes on the state of music journalism this week would also encourage people to subscribe to worker-owned outlets & support independent writers trying to make new things happen

Shadow Play
As of today, the government has been shut down for twenty-two days. Who shut down the government? We are told, twice on the same page, that “democrats have shut down the government.”

"A Force of Nature" - Remembering Glenn Scott
Neither the loudest nor bossiest person in a room, Glenn Scott (1948-2018) did manage to buzz with the most energy. I met her in 2017 when she was already undergoing chemotherapy for the cancer that w...

MTG on the Epstein scandal—"elites doing horrible things and getting away with it"—may have an egalitarian air about it, but only if you fail to read it alongside the rest of her conspiracism. She's talking about the Jews. She's always talking about the Jews. flaminghydra.com/marjorie-tay...

I have a long-running list of surprising eponyms, and in this dark time I wish to share my amusement with you.
To clarify, an eponym is something named for a person. “Newton’s Laws” are called that for Isaac Newton. A surprising eponym is just that.
So, let’s begin.

starting a new website related to (mostly) Austin has been a fun challenge. I will be working on it even more, and with more contributors, in 2026.

Visiting an estate sale is one of the most indirect but intimate ways of trying to understand a person you have never met. Instead of through their work, their personality, or their physical features,...

Always read Abby! I don't have a background in science or marketing, but this post is giving me a lot to think about in terms of both.
