Playing DICK, which is a Cards Against Humanity type game using nothing but quotes from MOBY DICK. Way too much fun.

Walking down to the Flat Iron for trivia on a warm but beautiful fall evening, listening to Toad the Wet Sprocket's PALE, and smirking at how much my teenage self would've enjoyed this.

"If the Court will not treat capital cases with the care they deserve, the American people should ensure that it can no longer stop other courts from doing so."

Congress Should Strip the Supreme Court of Its Power to Greenlight Blocked Executions

If the Court will not treat cases like Christa Pike’s with the care they deserve, the American people should ensure that it can no longer stop other courts from doing so.

Abolish the death penalty

Update: Christa Pike still alive after administered execution drugs, attorneys say. www.tennessean.com/story/news...

Listening to the flexidisc that arrived today with the reissue of Elastica's first album and feeling so unbelievably cool right now.

Student journalists still believe that it’s more important to hold powerful people to account than it is to hold on to access to those powerful people. They haven’t become Savvy Insiders yet

I think it’s fair to say that the student journalists at Cornell are braver than the news networks who just gave up on their WH pool ban even though CNN is still being denied access. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

I just read my first few Alice Munro stories last night, and I'm now a fan.

I do love that North Carolina feels like someone flipped the AUTUMN switch on Tuesday night at 8:06 PM.

A moment of reflection: I'm 27 years in as a DJ at WQFS. And I've been often thinking about when/if I should hang it up and step aside. I've been eyeing the 30 year mark more and more. It feels nice and round and reasonable.

Okay. Watching a local band cover New Order's "Love Vigilantes" in the middle of their show. I like seeing bands dig deeper for covers.

That's a Good Question trivia tonight at the Flat Iron! 8 PM, and it's a lot of fun. Come hang out!

The Supreme Court of John Roberts should answer for a lot of repugnant things, but one of their sleeper worst decisions was Murphy v. NCAA

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

I'm running trivia at the Flat Iron here in Greensboro tonight. Come have fun! Game starts at 8.

Drive-by Truckers (about to be 19 times) Gary Numan (3 times) Fugazi (sadly only 2) Lucinda Williams (about to be 5 or 6, I think?) Pulp (2 times) Definitely a list of others I've seen multiple times: Sonic Youth, Kathleen Edwards, Jim White, Vic Chesnutt, Futurebirds, El-P, Lyle Lovett, Dylan, etc

Introduce yourself with 5 artists you’ve seen at least twice: KMFDM Chelsea Wolfe The Builders & the Butchers The Dresden Dolls (yeah yeah) The Cruxshadows Fuel (two different festivals) Semisonic (same two different festivals) Cake (two different festivals)

Drinking a Bell's Hopslam for the first time since my 20s probably? Anything with a 10% ABV probably should have been left in my 20s, but too many great trivia nights were spent having too many of these (one is definitely enough) while hanging with friends, so here's to those memories. Cheers!

Today I learned that Jesuit historian Francois du Creux (a.k.a. Creuxius) created one of the first maps to refer to "Lake Ontario," which was featured in his 1664 history of Canada. A copy of his map is in @amphilsociety.bsky.social's collections: diglib.amphilsoc.org/islandora/ob... #MapSky 🗃️📜🌎

You'll take the HOMES mnemonic acronym from my cold dead hands.

Holy shit — the purpose of this Trump event is to announce that he’s changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” It will be interesting to see which if any institutions and companies go along with this

Let the rebroadcast of the Tragically Hip's final show play during my birthday party tonight. Finished right after the last guest left. It's such an amazing show. Still miss you, Gord.

Gonna be hosting trivia at The Flat Iron again this Monday, August 17th. Game starts at 8 PM. Lots of fun, lots of prizes. Come work your brain and drink some grain (alcohol)!

i just found out that my mentor, friend & inspiration Dave Marsh has left the planet. I will write more later but this piece I wrote about the anthology of his work his friends curated a few years back captures many of my thoughts: jukeboxgraduate.com/why-dave-mar...

RIP to Brooklyn Vegan. Just ridiculous.

Greensboro folks: I'm back in the trivia hosting game again. The Flat Iron is hosting trivia on Mondays at 7:45/8. I'm hosting every other week starting this coming Monday, August 3rd. It's a fun time with great music and good people. Plus I'm writing all the questions, so come stretch your brain.
