Use this YouTube link to watch my opera-- 6 PM Pacific, 9/19!

It will also work after that, but don't you want to come hang out with me? 🥺

I feel like a lot of us in the comedy world failed the world at large when we stayed silent despite knowing all about Cosby and Louis so let me say right now that Steve Martin has eaten one banjo a year for the last 25 years

When I worked at a bookstore, I quickly learned that people cannot tell the difference between Xmas music and any Baroque or Elizabethan music album that doesn't get too organ-ish. I used this to my advantage.

One customer caught on... AND THANKED ME
If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?

And rightfully so.

So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

I have a friend who worked on the rescue attempts and the end of life for the whale as part of the stranded marine mammal team - @thepaintpaddock.bsky.social. he says they're working to continue this partnership with the Siletz tribe which I think is incredible!!

Pokémon Legends: Z-A has a side quest where you have to give a cop a specific ghost Pokémon that can detect negative feelings, and the first thing it does is IMMEDIATELY suss out that his wife resents him and wants a divorce

Some recent cute examples I've found are that OneNote's search is fully borked and the Microsoft video editing software can't open a project if you've closed the software at any point ever

I've been summoned, as well as @pwallinga.bsky.social and @matthewcmiel.bsky.social.

Read the article or don't, but the headline was mine and I feel pretty proud of it.

What "keep trans kids out of sports" assholes imagine: 6'4" linebackers quitting football in droves to crush innocent little girls into a pulp

What actually happens: Kaylie from Central High can't play with her friends because she's 5'9" and that angered the PTA moms at their rivals, St. Twat's

It's always fascinating to me listening to different choirs where you can hear the radically different priorities they have. (For the record, I'm pretty much always partial to diction and warmth. I don't fuck with straight tone as a singer, and I'd never request it as a composer.)

Sorry/Grateful, Ballad of Czolgosz, No One Is Alone, Being Alive, Sunday. Ask again tomorrow and at least two of those probably change, though
Okay, let's hear top 5 Sondheim songs. In no particular order:

1. Now / Later / Soon
2. Finishing the Hat
3. Johanna (Act 2 Sequence)
4. Everybody's Got the Right
5. In Buddy's Eyes
