Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Ever have a weird piece of pop culture you love but don't have anybody to appreciate it with because it sounds stupid when you try to explain it? open.spotify.com/track/67oGeN...open.spotify.comThe Ballad of Phil and Phyllis 020
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Happy International Women's Day. Congratulations to the international women of many nations whose civil rights are more secure than my daughter's in the US. May we catch up with you someday. 050
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Walgreens being acquired by private equity Will likely steer it in the direction of Jo-Ann. All money is fiction of a type. But when finance distorts that fiction to a point where it entirely disconnects from supply and demand, it's no longer business in the traditional sense. It's abuse. 030
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 28/02/2025If you're participating in the economic blackout day today, let's all do our best not to backfill with a lot of purchases tomorrow or the next day. Let's treat it like a fast, not a pause button. 2311
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Is there any more patronizing form of congratulations? 060
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/02/2025There are a lot of good people at the grass roots who feel majorly conflicted right now. We can either look down our noses at them and push them farther right, or we can work with them and give them a viable political home. 010
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/02/2025And you know what? They are right. In a very red county, the practical political power you wield is basically about choosing the less bad Republican. I'm fortunate that my state allows unaffiliated voters to choose to vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary. Many states don't. 100
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/02/2025For those who live in major population centers, it's hard to understand the dynamics out here in the rural counties of middle America. I interact with good people every day who feel that their only option was to hold their nose and vote GOP. The dominant party is the only place they have a voice. 100
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/02/2025There are still some ethical Republicans left. But this moment makes it clear that the party cannot be fixed from within. It's time for those whose party has left them to leave it in return. But they won't get the message in a BlueSky echo chamber. Uncomfortable as it is, we actually need to talk. 2100
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 29/01/2025I miss the optimism of Gimlet before Spotify got involved, things got extra toxic, and Reply All imploded. We need Jonathan Goldstein to do a Heavyweight with Alex and PJ. 050
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 28/01/2025People who have lost their moral compass see acts of conscience as signs of weakness. 0121
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 26/01/2025I know there are much more urgent issues, but I'm still mourning the way that trumpism has nearly killed clever humor. Any attempt at unsettling hyperbole or satire is now uncomfortably plausible. 1120
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I love my church for many reasons. But I admit, I have holy envy for the courageous leadership we're seeing from clergy like Bishop Budde in other denominations. 2220
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Can we talk about my mom's Plymouth Volare for a minute? open.substack.com/pub/natehowe...open.substack.comState.The current state looks grim. But it depends on the state you're in. 030
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Went snowshoeing at the Black Canyon today. I can't allow myself to focus on the current ugliness of America and forget the aspects that make it so worth preserving and protecting, especially against the threats of the next 4 years. 0100
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Yes. To be fair, they announced it after I made this post. It's pretty bad. 110
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Good call. Like the potato chips that are impossible to open cleanly and just explode all over the couch. 030
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Since I'm not ready to engage with consequential issues tonight, tell me something that's annoying but not a big deal that people should know. I'll go first. The Sam's Club knockoff of Smartfood popcorn is objectively worse, and now they don't carry the real stuff any more. 360
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Don't accept weaponized incompetence from your kids, your husband, or your government officials. 090
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 07/01/2025That makes sense. I'm not sure the rebrand will help that side of the business in any way, either. 110
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Yes but... Some of us would like to create something noteworthy enough to garner even a negative review. And there are certain people I'd like to make uncomfortable with my creative work. If it was a situation where I truly didn't know, I'd appreciate a tap on the shoulder about a review. 020
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 07/01/2025The Barnes & Noble logo update is the most milktoast, unnecessary rebrand of the last 5 years. Was their old serif font the reason people stopped buying physical books from them? 260
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Modern shows set in the late 80s and early 90s usually ignore this key historical detail: most middle school boys were wearing super ugly Big Dogs tee shirts, replaced a couple years later by those shirts with out-of-focus text illusions. 050
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 02/01/2025In the year of our Lord 2025, there's no conceivable reason for doctor's offices to use paper forms that ask for social security numbers. 061
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Making the healthier foods the most convenient can go a long way without saying a word. Some simple substitutions can also help. Ease into whole wheat sandwich bread and pasta, and reduce soda. Let him take the lead when talking about situations with kids at school. 011

Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 01/01/2025We had a basement full of teenagers for New Year's Eve. One of them thanked us for offering a safe, substance-free celebration, implying that it's rare. What parents throw parties where their kids and other teens drink and do drugs? Am I just naïve? This doesn't seem like it should be common. 190
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Hats off to the greatest former president we've ever had. 090
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 28/12/2024I'm taking advantage of my gym's "impersonal trainer" program, where an old man in jeans walks up and criticizes my form, and I never have to see him again. 3130
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 18/12/2024A Walmart "Rollback" means they've been gouging you, and know they'll make a healthy profit even if you pay 10 cents less for a can of beans. Prices have nothing to do with cost. It's all about what they think they can get you to pay. 1132
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Wouldn't it be cool if America's crush on Luigi accidentally sparked some meaningful prison reform? 2130
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Which do you think has been a bigger hit to McDonald's reputation in the past few months: e. coli or snitching? 350
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Nooooo. I would never make it through a feature length movie involving DW. 120
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Just rewatched Arthur Christmas (2011) with the kids. The score is so much better than it had to be. 290

Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Sorry for being a terrible person on the internet. I'm working on it. 😬 120
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Costco would be bad. IKEA would be an order of a magnitude worse than either, though. 150
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I recently lost my wife, and now I just feel like I'm in a perpetual haze, wandering aimlessly through the wilderness of life. She's not dead. We're just at Target. 4350
Nate Howe @natehowe.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Boomer relative: Why do these kids want to put holes in perfectly good jeans? Me: Why did your generation "antique" all that perfectly good furniture? *uncomfortable eye contact* 2222
