Congressional Democrats are going to have to patch things up with Americans.

Been listening to podcasts at 1.7x for the last month because I was way behind. (I know, I’m a sicko.) Finally caught up and went back to normal speed (1.3x) and everyone sounds so drunk.

Happy Father’s Day my kids are the coolest and I’m sure yours are too youtu.be/8CmNYBTBKNg

Well this is some bullshit.

Discovering that I can avoid giving money to FOX because the Spanish World Cup broadcast, which is way more fun, is on Peacock has been a true delight this week.

Pros: For the first time, my daughter is SUPER into sports. We’ve watched every game of the NBA finals and it’s been a beautiful shared experience. We each picked a team and have a wager that the loser’s has to cook dinner & dessert for the winner Cons: My daughter is now a diehard Knicks fan 🤬

It is clear that summer 2026 will be “AI-Generated Posts From the Venue Summer” Not ideal

The Calaveras Enterprise just shared video of my full set at the Bear Valley Music Festival with me, which I am very excited to have up Grover Anderson | Live at Bear Valley Music Festival 2025 | Full Set youtu.be/9QTwUD4HVdo

What the heck is going on with digital book publishing? Apple Books features what appears to be two scam books and an ai study guide for this new political book?

Tyler Childers “Jersey Giant” has the same chord progression as Macy Gray “I Try.” Not sure what to do with this information. (Yet.)

The top story on the website of our locally owned county newspaper, which I’d normally sing the praises of, appears to have been largely written by AI. (It also fails to name the winner of the event it covers?) Such a bummer www.calaverasenterprise.com/articles/cou...

She’s right! (If you’re willing do go down the road she’s pointing, you might like my country music.) music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

I just want to say one word to you. Just one word. Bamboo.

And now Murphys is mentioned in the New Yorker?? What is happening? apple.news/A0LPvWPDIS6u...

10 years!

Saw a staged adaptation of Sense & Sensibility today and the Robert Ferrars character had a scene where he just ran around the stage yelling “COTTAGE!” at everyone, and that’s kind of how i feel about “ballroom” in the last 24 hours

I was today years old when I realized that “I’m too damn clean” and “I’m too stupid dumb” and “hate the whole damn lot” were the edited versions of “Messy”

@bryancurtis.bsky.social holy crap!! You came through Calaveras County!! You have a very loyal listener here. (Yes, I am 2 weeks behind on podcasts. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Hope you guys enjoyed it)

Teaching To Kill a Mockingbird at a rural high school ➡️ supplementing with a Ta-Nehisi Coates essay on the n-word that mentions Jonathan Martin/Richie Incognito ➡️ these students were 2 when that went down so I find a news clip summarizing it ➡️ @joelanderson.bsky.social is in my classroom!

Love being in that phase of life where my wife and I worked really hard to arrange that we could watch the first hour of One Battle After Another while the girls were at Grammy’s. Looking forward to finishing it sometime in the next 4-6 weeks!

Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Haven’t played a show in 53 days and don’t have one scheduled for another 39 but it’s fine, I’m fine and not actually pacing around the house like an anxious freak.

Hooooo boy my propensity to attract Ben Shapiro wannabes who “just want to ask a couple questions” and my lack of patience for their bad-faith bullshit is really a bad combination.

Small towns represent #nokings

If you’re an Oscar voter, watched that scene of him singing after the story as he rode in the passenger seat, and didn’t vote for him, you will continue to not be my friend.

I was going to celebrate the fact that our trump-loving neighbor had taken down the massive TRUMP banners that adorned his garage, but I just heard him listening to the Chicks “Traveling Soldier” and I’m wondering if I need to do a wellness check. MAGA Neighbor welcome to the resistance?

I don’t know what I’ve done to my TikTok algorithm but it’s pretty much entirely videos of musicians complaining about the TikTok algorithm suppressing their videos. So now I just don’t open TikTok much anymore and everyone wins

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

The photos in this story are really something special www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/r...

Not at all surprised to see she’s using my district’s time to pull this clown shit. Way to go, McClintock. (Go get em, @katesillsforcongress.com!)

Every year we’re blessed and cursed with another “Bradbury predicted this!”

Last time I was in Montana I played in Bozeman with Jimbo and we stayed on a 19 year old barista’s couch, then saw crazy weather the next day. This time, I’m playing a festival with Ricky Scaggs. Big thumbs up to Montana.

mad that Jelly Roll won the country Grammy but then I texted to my dad an hour later: “they could have gotten literally anyone—Pink, Chris Stapleton, Lola Young, half the Black artists at the tables, even Jelly Roll(!)—who’d have sang a better tribute to Ozzy than Post Malone” so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope you were able to tune into the show today on CJSR 88.5 Edmonton CJSR.com. As program host, it is wonderful to know that there are people out there listening-sometimes even deliberately tuning in. I’ll be back live next week with two hours of ‘our kinda music’ at 2 MST. Playlist below:

The venue tonight has been playing a real eclectic mix while we’re on break. Early aughts butt rock, R Kelly, country….but the song playing right now (before we come back on) is literally “In the Arms of the Angels”. Respect.

Relevant to me because my uber driver in New Orleans Sunday had a huge crush on him when they went to high school together.

The kid has been into dubbed international reality game shows on Netflix lately…she’s watching a Chinese one, I asked what it’s about, and she proceeded to explain the plot of The Running Man to me 😳 “If the hunters catch you, you get nothing!”

Oooh I see something I recognize here!

Happy one year anniversary to this thing. One looooooooooong year

Headed to New Orleans for Folk Alliance… mighty excited

If you wanna be technical about it, that’s two university football teams that have won national titles in a year that I was enrolled there.

Discovered the guy from Saving Country Music will be at the same conference as me this week. Very intrigued to observe this specimen in the wild.

Staggeringly sobering when the barber asks “what size clipper do I normally use on you?” and you say “3” and he says “oh buddy that’s not gonna work for you anymore, we’re moving to 4 from here on out.”

We should do an experiment where we all pick a time and date and coordinate and send all of our mental energy into the universe and wish for one specific thing. it could be anything. "Everyone concentrate and think about the same thing as hard as you can at 1:00 p.m. ET." Only question is what to t

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

ESPN forgot to update their headline before clicking send

We watched the east coast CNN feed with the volume down and said “Anderson Cooper seems pretty sober, weird” but now I’m watching it again and MY GOD
