This year, Indigenous Peoples’ Day happens to also fall on Indignant Van Peebles Day.

Also, @dankennedy.net, loved your book Little People. My daughter was born with achon in 2002. Helped me a lot.

Published in 2000 so she’s dead now anyway probably. Especially because she’s a mouse.

I find the grandmother in this book to be overly sanguine and dismissive. Not at all sympathetic to Wemberly’s anxiety disorder. Oh she’s setting an example? Well I guess the lesson is DENIAL. I’m sorry. I know this will upset people. Sometimes one has to take a stand in this world.

I think my son is wrong. The dad character in Ad Astra isn’t named Dad Astra.

Kenny Rogers has a new hobby: confidently barking. He would like to eventually find something or someone to bark *at*, maybe even a reason *to* bark, but for now he won’t let such details stand in his way.

“It’s kind of warm in here. I might just take off my jacket. I know that would kind of ruin the ‘wash of brown’ look I got going but it’s kind of warm, like I said. I figure if it gets colder, I could just put the jacket back on. That’s still an option. But maybe I should wait?”

When I wrote those sketches, my producer asked why they had to be cassettes. I said I can’t explain, they just have to be.

1916 Life magazine image created to protest American isolationism, warning what could happen if WW1 was lost. Kind of love the take on Canada. Gotta admit living in St Karl sounds kind of dope. And pretty funny about Bismarck, ND. And, yeah, that new Gulf of Mexico name goes pretty hard.

Didn’t expect the words “giant squid” and “Josh Hartnett” and “Netflix miniseries” to appear together in my life but here we are, barreling into episode 5.

“That creature nearly tore off Bruce’s head!” the guy in coveralls next to me shouts, his buddies all yelling, “Yeah!” “Oh please,” I think to myself, conveying it facially. “Bruce is fine. His neck will heal. The creature was probably scared.”

“Sure I remember the big storm. And yes, I’m aware of all the big promises made by these guys in suits. Of course I’m concerned about the tourism economy. But I recognize there are nuances.” That’s what I say to my fellow actors between takes. I never have lines.

I’ve acted in a lot of movies and TV but I always play a very specific character: Townsperson at community meetings who thinks everyone’s making sense. Always calm, never shouting down the scientist or the land developer. Opposite of up in arms. I tend to get overshadowed but my crafting is tight.

It’s 87 degrees on October 10 in Saint Paul, which is troubling but it’s also the happiest I’ve ever seen Kenny Rogers.

Exactly! I see it as a conversation. I just happen to be the one with the microphone. Show without a host would be impossible, show without an audience would be just as impossible.

Politically, it's a good way to treat other people you work with. And in terms of being a person, it's only right.

One time, years ago, I was filling in for a daily host from Wednesday through Friday. As they signed off on Tuesday, they said, "Tune in to hear me again next Monday when my guests will be..." Nothing about me or, indeed, the show airing the rest of the week. I'm still stunned.

It's a little weird right now being in the tinkering stage of the newly acquired @thwod.bsky.social because I keep saying "we" for everything even though at the moment, it is entirely me. Host, producer, engineer, distribution, all just me. Still I say we. Maybe in honor of possible future staff.

John Moe @johnmoe.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I've known radio/pod hosts who refer to everything they do with themselves at the center. "My show", "My guest this week", etc. I tend to go plural, even at the risk of sounding like Queen Elizabeth, because so many people are involved in putting a show together. As host, I'm just one part of it.

I thought that song was by Special AKA but it says here it’s by the Specials. I think I’m experiencing the Free Nelson Mandela Effect.

Hey MN! You’ve seen me talk about being a foster family for rescue dogs on here. It’s been a fun and very meaningful part of our lives. It’s free too, they give you all the supplies and med care. There’s a foster open house tomorrow if you’re interested in learning more or helping out.

You’d have to call this progress for Kenny Rogers, right? When we picked him up four weeks ago, he wouldn’t leave his crate. Also, someone, please adopt him: new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...

I really should have had this made into a yard sign. Maybe I still could. Thanks, @jerkeye.bsky.social for making me think of it.
