Hey @jonweisberger.bsky.social I really enjoyed the episode of Mojo’s Mixtape you were on. You have a great way of talking about songwriting that doesn’t make it too mystical but also doesn’t make it sound like an algebra problem.

Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social — I was putting away holiday decorations and found my 80s rock scrapbook in which I curated magazine clippings and such, rearranging and changing each month as I got new issues. Naturally Twisted Sister had the most real estate. #SMF #FortheLoveofMetal #LeaveaScar

Snacks. Questions. The KLC way. ❓🥯 @sethbate.bsky.social has joined KLC staff as director of learning & development, after years as faculty & coach. #KLCstaff #BehindTheKLCene

Your daily Dorothy Parker

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social do you play #Wordle? If not, you might enjoy it today anyway.

Hey @meryanroe.bsky.social I’m a serious Muppet fan with a soft spot for MIS if you’re still making assignments. Also you should have @jessethorn.bsky.social on to discuss 2 minutes that feature funk / r&b. He’s a podcast legend and deeply knows that music. #movinrightalong

Wrapping up a pretty great week in North Carolina. Asheville area still recovering but also very ready for tourists. No @deesnider.bsky.social sightings tho.

I will always be more interested in #originalmusic but the great thing about seeing a solid cover band is seeing people (predictably or surprisingly) go apesh*t over a song. The crowd at this all ages community “block party” lost it over a Green Day song.

I reject the notion that we aren’t as tough as previous generations. I literally just used a bayonet to open an Amazon package.

Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social I’m driving past Cheyenne WY with House of Hair on. Made me think of your family. Is your Cheyenne named after the town?

I’m a mean machine. Been drinking petrol.

The closest I’ve ever been to fighting a robot is beating the shit out of my work printer.

Took @allanmcleod.bsky.social on my 3-mile walk this morning. Bonus episode with @charlietodd.com @improveverywhere.com may be my favorite yet. Thanks @maximumfun.org for bringing us Walkin’ About. #podcast #getyourwalkon

Want to feel like a rock star? Walk through O’Hare wearing a Wayne’s World hat!

Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social, this cool new Dee / Udo duet was on Hair Nation this morning. Tell us the story! Did you have to wear camo when you recorded? #SMF #FortheLoveofMetal #LeaveaScar

Hey @deesnider.bsky.social I’ll be at Swannanoa Gathering near Asheville for a week this summer getting my folk on. Wanna drop by to bring some rock to the party? (And seriously, if any of the grandkids is interested in guitar, Swannanoa Guitar Week is amazing.) #SMF #FortheLoveofMetal #LeaveaScar

Working in Minneapolis for a few days. Will I bump into @johnmoe.bsky.social or John Munson first?

“If college theater taught me one thing it’s that you can take a dress shirt, turn up the collar, and turn it into an oldtimey shirt.” — @johnmoe.bsky.social ( @maximumfun.org ) #MaxFunDrive #theatrelife

Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social - as a tribute to Marty Callner I rewatched TS: The Video Years. So fun to see the progression of your partnership. Questions: whose idea was using Bobcat in 2 videos? Also (and I know it wasn’t a Callner video) was it Joey Franco playing drums in the Hot Love video?

Just donated to the Veterans Garden LA project that we heard about from Susan Feniger on @gofactyourpod.bsky.social. It’s not only my favorite #podcast, it helps me do a little bit to support things other people love that I otherwise would not know about. (Also, Helen Hong is the funniest.)

After a lifetime of being known the world over by one name and legally by another, yesterday I officially changed my name to Dee F. Snider. You know what the “F” stands for, don’t you?

Just read the headline “Grateful Dead Announces 60-CD Unreleased Concert Set.” Genuinely did not know if this was satire or fact.

I sometimes get Diamond Head and King Diamond mixed up.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Since the 90s, I've referred to grunge as "the grunge scare" and I won't stop doing so until I'm dead. At which point, I will stop.

My town’s minor league baseball team scheduled me to sing the National Anthem based on my past performances, no re-audition required. Apparently I am have achieved offer-only status 😏⚾️

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Hey @mjmckean.bsky.social what do you think of the new Nick Chandler and Deliverance version of “Never Did No Wanderin’?” I’m digging it more ever time @chrisjonesgrass.bsky.social plays it.

Just settled into seat for my flight. Ad came on my phone game making a loud roar. I scrambled, making sure I was muted, turning down volume, sure my seatmate already hated me, covering speaker with my hand, nothing worked. It was the fan that the guy in front of me turned on.

Done with pressing tasks and traveling for work tomorrow son I could go home, but I’ve already invested 30 minutes in this macOS Sequoia update and if I interrupt it, that progress might be lost.

Hey Unca @deesnider.bsky.social I just listened to your #FabFour picks on the Beatles channel. You said you were also a big fan of Paul Revere and the Raiders growing up. What would be your top 4 from them? I only know Kicks (great!) and Indian Reservation (cringe).

TFW you are in the car still holding the paper coupon for the item you bought because you had a paper coupon. #firstworldproblems

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

Hey @jonweisberger.bsky.social did you write the song “Room at the Table?” Gonna be playing it at church soon and I’d like to credit the songwriter(s).

It’s cold out. You should have some cheese.

Favorite autocorrect error in a long time is in a review of a small town Cajun restaurant: “For $18.99 you select three appraisers. … I went with oysters, crab and alligator and was happy with them. … The gator bites had a spicy coating.” #DYAC #damnyouautocorrect #funnytypos #iredditontheinternet

I’m moderating a panel for the Celebrate Local Authors event Feb. 1 at the Winfield Public Library. wpl.librarymarket.com/event/local-... #winfield #winfieldsoundsnice #localauthor #writer #publiclibraries

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

Ok not trying to be a contrarian or anything but I just heard the secret cord that David played and it was just OK! Don't believe the hype.

lead singer: ARE YOU READY TO ROCK???? me in the pit trying to clean the front of my glasses w my tshirt: JUST A SEC, BUD

At this particular moment in time, it's a blessing to be reminded of the existence of truly good-hearted public-minded American leaders. Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter.

Having one of those holidays with lots of family sweetness but also lingering grief. The @jbf1755.bsky.social account of a wake on a plane are making me grin and tear up at the same time. Miss you, Joshie.

Got a bunch of mostly-glass reusable storage containers so we could reduce our plastic use. This is how they were packaged.

I am 1 f*cking incentive point from earning my health insurance discount. Somehow none of 4 hemoglobin tests were “preventative,” my flu shot was too late in the year for the claim to get through Aetna, & my enrollment in Rx savings guide needed to be 7 days ago. Middle finger to Marathon “Health.”

The first night of Hanukkah being on Christmas this year was a HUGE win for "happy holidays."

My New Year resolutions:

From our family to yours: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and happy holidays! I hope you get lots of Muppet gifts!

Ah shit I have reached the dad age where getting socks for Christmas is legitimately satisfying, I get it now
