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.

You misspelled probable.

All we can do is win.

Time well spent. Thanks for your sacrifice.

The kids are alright.

1:52 left in the Vandy game.

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

Go Dores.

September rain in Nashville.

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

It really was lovely.

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.

Tina Turner was crazy good at her job.

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?

Saw Eddington today at @belcourttheatre.bsky.social. Thoughts?

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!

Signs the Frog Has Been Boiled A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT F...

TN teen parents: Has anyone gotten the online knowledge test for the learner’s permit to work recently? It’s telling me my 15yo is ineligible to take the test.

Sometimes you have to be the change you want to see.

Pete Rose: *shrugs*

The stakes are too high for me to want you to fail electorally in a general election, but if you’re still pushing “send” on these, please know that I want you to get a bad parking spot and bump your toes and elbows on all available surfaces. Please just stop.

Could it be from the Cathedral instead?

Opinion | Naval Academy Censors Ryan Holiday’s Lecture on Censorship How a lecture to the U.S. Naval Academy on censorship was censored.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear . . . .

Not to minimize the moment, but we’re due for some protest-song covers, right?
