Wendell Berry, a writer and farmer, died this week at age 92. Joe Fassler writes about the simple, clarifying idea that informed his life:

Why Wendell Berry Didn’t Worry About the Future

His life as a writer and farmer was informed by a simple, clarifying idea: Forget tomorrow, and work toward what is good today.

Listening to Fredrick Douglass’s thoughts on the 4th again this evening. Who’s picking up that torch this year?

What concrete steps would you take to eliminate the designated hitter?

It’d be nice to get a true objective assessment of what’s best for our setting. It’s hard with entrenched interests. But I hope everyone is planning for a change now.

The difference between the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics is that if I competed at the Summer Olympics I would humiliate myself while if I competed at the Winter Olympics I would die.

Currently picturing @angusmcdeath.bsky.social’s beard and chapeau on all the skaters. Consistent upgrade.

Back in the day the triple-whatevers were impossible, now the oohs and ahhs are all for quads. Let’s just agree to skip the quints and go straight to hex-lords and septons.

Photos of the people doing their jobs in the cold are great for public relations. But the public welfare requires more.

We relocated after the first night, so we’re safe. But none of this is ok. Each individual line worker has my gratitude and respect, but we deserve better planning and much better communication from the people at the top.

After 5 days without power, I’m pretty sure my house will reach equilibrium with the freezing outdoor temperatures today. No communication from NES or Nashville about whether our lines will get attention in an hour or a week.

It’s irresponsible not to provide any ETA on electricity repairs. If you’re at the end of a 3–4 day repair schedule, you deserve to know that things probably won’t improve on day 1 or 2.

Friends, I’m glad my non-dairy friends can get mediocre eggnog beverages on demand. But I miss good, non-high-fructose, real dairy eggnog options. Time to make my own. Recipes appreciated.

Yeah, but how else are you going to figure out what to do with a general when he stops being a general?

I love being surprised that we lost to Texas and still knowing that we’re going to a bowl game. #AnchorDown

I’ll stand my ground on that one. I bought a jillion songs and albums back in the day when CDs and mp3s were the media. There’s nothing like being able to share a dynamic playlist with your middle-school daughter for the drive to school or a full-on collaborative jam with the family on a road trip.

I don’t know what to make of the fact that Spotify seems to really get me, especially when I ask for seasonal instrumental music.

I’ve been a Vandy fan for 28 years. I’ve never seen a tougher, smarter, more capable Commodores football team. #anchordown

It’s a lot of fun to sit in a fancy stadium and watch your team win the football game.

It’s hard to describe the weight of always having to fight to get your kid a fair shake in school. It’s even harder knowing that there are *so many* kids who must be written off because they don’t have the scariest possible dad. We’re failing in some important ways.

The pop ballads of the 1980s will eventually stand beside Shakespearean sonnets as high-water marks in English-language articulations of romantic love.

A question, friends: the exposed bass clarinet line in Steven’s Last Night in Town—is it the best use of the instrument ever or just the best use in a pop song?

This. A hallucinated case is much easier to detect than a misinterpreted case that made it into the memo you found in the system from 2018. Here’s the tell: when you pull the case to cite check it, it doesn’t exist.

If you’re a newish parent, you have well-meaning old folks constantly telling you to treasure the early years. I’m here to tell you that some things get better with age. I always loved my kids, but every year they’re more interesting than they were the year before.

Nicole’s work has been a great public service and a good example of informative writing that benefits from a clear, fully human voice. I’ll miss reading the council meetings through her coverage, and I look forward to learning new things from her in the future. Thanks, @startleseasily.bsky.social!
