I just posted a new documentary all about Vermont's U.S. Congressional race. It's bonkers. Regardless of your political perspective, you're going to learn something new watching this one. youtu.be/22hYhb68E88

Touch his belly. He dares you. #caturday

Lil Barn Cat is my constant companion when I’m working in my office. Pablo Barn Cat is the porch sidekick.

They are waiting for their escort before entering.

The lioness looks out across the savanna. #caturday

Hey! Had to cancel the farm meeting for tonight. Dealing with a water problem. I'll reschedule soon. Sorry!

Reflecting on 250 years…

People ask what the secret is to a good garden. It’s simple: marry someone who goes back out to weed the second the rain stops, while you stand there taking pictures of the sky.

People say bobolinks navigate using the magnetic field of the Earth. They carry a little iron in their heads, so technically they always know where north is. This bird flies to Argentina and back every year. I get lost in parking garages.

I thought Act 75 made this sort of thing illegal in Varmont. @vtattorneygeneral.bsky.social @balint.house.gov

The move seemed to make a lot of sense and had little drawback. There’s really no telling what Vermont education is gonna look like three years from now, but this move helps the folks in town, maintain flexibility and a certain measure of control.  vtdigger.org/2026/06/01/p...

America has not forgotten how to build. We still know how to move dirt, run power, pour concrete, and coordinate impossible logistics. We just reserve that urgency for certain kinds of projects.

Working on a new video series where I interview political candidates running for office in Vermont. For people who wonder why, this chart explains it all.

This presidential portraits is pretty incredible.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America? Brother, there is a man in the Oval Office whose family pulls a few billion annually and is now immune to prosecution. Paxton is JV corruption.

You are older now than you have ever been and younger than you will ever be again, and this is true at every moment of your life, including this one.

People often talk about the cost of housing and the cost of food and the cost of fuel as if these were separate problems. They are not.

The cost of any technology shows up about fifteen years later in the shape of the people who grew up with it.

Anything that gets cheap enough fast enough eventually gets paid for by something that wasn’t on the invoice.

How many ducks can you see in this picture?

The fence is mostly an idea. Everyone out here has agreed to believe in it.

There is a market for telling the truth and a much bigger market for telling people they were right all along.

We’ve spent twenty years treating housing unaffordability, the loneliness epidemic, generational resentment, and the collapse of civic trust as separate problems. They share one upstream cause. New essay and comic: open.substack.com/pub/morgango...

Is the plural cul-de-sacs or cul-de-saci?

The ultimate digital ouroboros: using AI slop to protest the physical data centers needed to generate AI slop.

Ginny Barn Cat is glad that drawing on the porch season . #caturday

Every gas station bathroom is haunted, and we all know by what.

Sometimes I wonder if the cattle know my name and just refuse to use it out of principle.

When dating, be sure to choose a partner with good cattle coaching skills.

The grass went from gone to ankle-deep in about four days and now everything that eats grass is looking at me like I owe them an apology for winter.

The desire to be original is the least original desire there is.

The frontier closed, the moon got boring, and we turned the explorer’s instinct inward until it became anxiety.

Nobody has ever stood at a window watching rain and thought about something small.

Covid and anger towards environmental movements are connected. Hear me out…

Rain on a tin roof is the only sound that has never been improved by adding music to it.

Last year a bird built this in my apple tree using grass, twigs, and fur off the backs of my Highland cattle. A small house made of three things that all live here.

Going live in a couple of minutes!

If a bear is chasing you and you stop to have a panic attack, the bear has to wait. That’s just manners. I don’t think bears know this.

“Actions speak louder than words” is itself just words, and the only way to actually prove it is to stop saying it.

You don’t actually want more time. You want the version of time you had at nine years old in July.

My bull (Macho Man Randy Savage) likes to sit and watch my duck (Amelia Earhart) as she sits in a clutch of eggs. This is week two of this experiment. #animalfriends
