I cooked up a newsletter about cheating in romance novels and why it can be a gorgeously effective plot point. Thinking of a title was the hardest part, so I just gave everyone of a certain age an earworm instead. #romancelandia romancing-the-stoned.beehiiv.com/p/turn-the-c...

Back in ‘22 in Minneapolis I had the pleasure of opening for Ird Al Yanko. I did half an hour. Oct 7 thru 10 I’ll be at the Acme Comedy Company doing an hour. It’ll feel strange talking twice as slowly.

I used to joke that some of you cycling freaks would yell at a fire truck for parking in a bike lane, but when I realized this engine was literally here so two fire fighters could "pass the boot" to stopped traffic, I nearly started shit that I couldn't finish.
Entire fire engine parked in both lanes of a bike lane for no reason!!!

Chicago started burning on October 8, 1871. Here is a Chicago magazine story I wrote five years ago, for the 150th anniversary:

As the city marks the 150th anniversary of the defining event, ROBERT LOERZEL mines the archival record to offer a compelling portrait of what it was like to live through those disastrous days.

Call your officials. Tag them on bluesky if they're active (hey @sorenwithward8.bsky.social ). Hourcar lets people who occasionally need a car use one without the huge investment actually owning a car involves. This is an actual, local, community service! The city could help maintain this.

And I'm going to state unequivocally that the @metcouncilmn.bsky.social should provide annual operating funds to @hourcar.bsky.social, and it should be far in excess of a million dollars. This was true in 2002 when we first asked them for support and it's more true today after proof of concept.

All of this car sharing success being shut down because the Twin Cities can't come up with an operating subsidy? This was once my life's work, and it was the most successful operation in the country. What are we doing? Where is the vision? Who is the hero?

Car-sharing service is shutting down operations in the Twin Cities
Hourcar service had been around for 21 years, but the nonprofit said it could not close a $625,000 funding gap.

This gap is less than it cost the mayor to put a bounce house in the warehouse district for a summer. This is 1/33 the cost of MPS's surprise overtime. They renovated Target Center in part by making us, the citizens, pay $74 million via a sales tax. WE. HAVE. MONEY. We can spend it in better places

Politicians choosing to disinvest in Nice Ride, Hourcar, and Evie makes living in Minneapolis and St. Paul more unaffordable. Minneapolis police and fire exceeded their overtime budget by $31.1 million in 2025 and are on track to exceed by $24.7 million in 2026. Nice Ride was sold for parts.

I understand that paywalls are annoying, but the grim reality for everything right now, is if you want something to exist, you have to put money towards it. Every creative person is having their life's work hoovered up by AI companies. Layoffs never end. Private equity keeps making things worse.

We’re going to see a bunch of Minnesota legislators earnestly reposting that crap and it’ll be that much harder to explain to them why it’s damaging. Just say Lisa Demuth authored a total abortion ban, which is true! Nobody wants an abortion ban. Leave “rape and incest” out of it.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.
