The Good LT published a year ago today. Still grateful for this @charlesfinch review & all who got behind this book. theguardian.com/books/2016/jun…

Thanks so much to @wsterrell and @v_v_g for a really thoughtful conversation on eco-sabotage!

Impressive showing from the OSU fans.

Terrible use for downtown. Every telecom / data center tower in the loop (there are at least three) is a complete dead zone.

We'll be talking to @MatthewMWolfe for the @FnFtalk podcast today! Interview comes out next Thursday.

Gotta say #kansascity did a pretty sweet job on the fan experience. Streetcar stops at the event and can service visitors from Plaza and downtown. Good preview for how crowds can access the new #Royals stadium since it will be next door.

“The heart of America is here in this town. Today, I think the heart of soccer is right here in Kansas City.” I spoke with MLS commissioner Don Garber today. Kansas City is the hub of world football today: usatoday.com/story/sports/s…

Happy birthday @JoyceCarolOates!

Thirty years ago, today, I walked into the front door of a house in Liberty, Missouri, and my life changed. The house was no ordinary house; it was a radio station, KCXL 1140 AM. The living room was the lobby; the master bedroom was the studio. That day, I met the man who’d be my on-air partner for more than five years and my great friend for three decades, @jmnjwood. It was the biggest break I could have imagined. And I wouldn’t be where I am today without this place. Or without Jeremy. Thanks for getting this amazing ride started, my friend.

@_motherslug Saw them in KC. Great show.

An evening with Wilco. 😎

My dad died a year ago today. I keep this on my desk—one of the last gifts he gave me, when he couldn’t really write any more. It’s a duck call he used, mostly comically, when we hunted. He tried so hard to write what he wanted to say. Love you Dad. I miss you. ❤️

Wrote about two of my favorite albums of 2026 so far, from Bill Orcutt and Tomeka Reid, for the big Spin midyear list. spinmagazine.com/2026/06/best-a…

These used to be around $5 at Costco. Anybody else noticing the insane tomato prices?

@JoyceCarolOates I remember those days!

recalling English graduate student seminars of the late 20th century in which "literary theory" was the rage, & within a decade or two most of these "literary theorists" were totally out of fashion & near-forgotten. imagine spending months or years of your life reading "literary theory" instead of what is called primary sources: literature itself.
