Quite contrary, terrible gardener. I ❤️ dogs, baseball, stories, commas, and human rights. If empathy is a sin, then I’ll be damned.
"Fuck that." "I'm Sherrod Brown and I approve of this message."

I listen to the Top Hits playlist to avoid becoming like my Dad, who once thought Sonny Bono was the lead singer of U2.
I listen to Top Hits playlists periodically, so I have heard Choosin Texas. I think many people have heard it in the background at a restaurant or store and don’t remember. A lot of current pop country/folk songs, especially the ballads, are fine but forgettable.
This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.
Your 2026 Central Division champions: the Cleveland Guardians!
The Cleveland Guardians will also be in the playoffs with the Cubs. We have the opportunity for a second Cle team - Cubs World Series. We could reset this curséd timeline!
most of you won't be interested to learn that both the Cubs and the White Sox will be in this year's playoffs for only the 4th time in history (1906, 2008, and 2020 being the previous three seasons)
Wrote it with Rob Smigel. And yes, it was pulled from reruns.
This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY
Imagine if, instead of regulating drones (which we did!), we instead decided to let drone companies self-regulate, and ALSO dedicated tons of money and time to "problems" like "what if, in 1000 years, hyper-intelligent dogs learn to fly drones into mailmen." This is what we are doing with AI.
National Dems have no messaging on trans rights. The media is complicit. So I think middle aged/older women like Amy Acton & Marcy Kaptur really think big muscly men are trying to play girls soccer Normies have no idea the Harry Potter lady is trying to kill Amnesty International over trans people

Happy Birthday Smitten Kitchen! Only one of my favorite recipes is on Deb’s list (the roast chicken schmaltzy cabbage) but she has so many gems. I don’t bake much anymore but I’m going to make that Basque cheesecake one day
This week's Smitten Kitchen Digest celebrates 20 years of SK with a love letter to the people (you, yes you!) who have made it possible and a list of what I consider the 20 most iconic site recipes to date. Tell me if there are any I missed. Cheers! smittenkitchen.substack.com/p/20-years-o...
On 9/11, I worked in the Dean of Students’ office at OU. Mid-afternoon, the head librarian at Athens Public Library called. She had a group who wanted to offer support to international students. A place to stay, escorts around town, a friendly local presence to sit on their front porch. Just in case
I don’t think I’ve heard this 9/11 story before
1/x On September 11, 2001 Coast Guard Lieutenant Michael Day, aboard the Sandy Hook pilot boat New York, keyed his radio: "All available boats. This is the United States Coast Guard. Anyone wanting to help with the evacuation of Lower Manhattan, report to Governors Island." #maritimehistory
Hi, I’m Mary. I’m from Lakewood, Ohio and do business things to support my furry dog’s lifestyle The moment in The Story when Brandi Carlile’s voice cracks as she sings All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I’ve been And how I got to who I am
Hi, I'm John Moe, a writer and podcast maker in Saint Paul. I am married with three mostly grown kids and two nice dogs. I like in "Misunderstood" when Tweedy throws in extra syllables on "Take the guitar player for a ride". Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?
Silly woman. She must have accidentally gone to a concert by Minneapolis’ premier Riot Grrrl cover band, The Disgruntled Lesbians.
Riley Gaines: "I went to the WNBA game in Minneapolis. It was a bunch of, like, disgruntled lesbians."
Again reminding everyone how white privilege benefits the Vances. Mama El-Sayed would be talking to the Secret Service if she threatened to punch JD Bev Vance Aikins stole opioids from a hospital, nearly killed herself and son, and committed other drug-related crimes yet has never been to prison

What is Pontoon Rock, you may ask? It’s like Yacht Rock, but central Ohio style.

Yesterday was National Dog Day and I missed it. Luckily Phoebe is not upset with me.
Dolly Parton was literally singing from a burning ring of fire
One of the wildest Dolly Parton pop culture artifacts is her singing "Great Balls of Fire" on her short-lived variety show Dolly! in 1987... as people throw flaming batons around her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=69wU...
After my friend had her first child, a volunteer came around to sign her son up for Dolly’s Imagination Library. My friend demurred, they were doing fine financially and already had a good collection of children’s books. “Doesn’t matter.” said the volunteer “Dolly’s library is for ALL children”
