Something good comes along, then it’s gone: Farewell, Todd Snider.
When I moved to East Nashville in 2012, legend had it that if you wanted to find Todd Snider, all you had to do was go to Drifter’s BBQ in Five Points, and he’d be there at the bar. Nashville always h...

Awful day for music fans. If you aren’t familiar with Todd Snider, I don’t blame you. He was a giant in a genre of music that barely exists anymore - but I can count on one hand the artists who wrote more great songs this century than he did.
A dozen to choose from. I’ll share a few of my favs.

Probably the most fun you can have reading a law story. The final line is *perfect*.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Thanks to @slate.com for letting me explain (on publication day for Taylor's Version!) why "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" is the best thing ever (and connects up both to #MeToo and to John Keats): slate.com/culture/2025...
I’m a Poet. I Believe That This Song Is Taylor Swift’s Masterpiece. I’ll Explain Why.
There’s a reason my students always vote for this one when I ask for Taylor’s most Taylor-ish song.

This is a very good piece on Showgirl and its fallout, and I didn't know about the viral tweet that inspired "Wood" -- knowing that exists really changes how I think about it www.newyorker.com/culture/crit...
Do We Still Like Taylor Swift When She’s Happy?
The weak lyricism in the Travis Kelce-inspired songs on “The Life of a Showgirl” has led to some of the most virulent and sexist anti-Swift discourse in years.

Drew a turtle in grade nine.
One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

I like this guy, but don't call anything Coast Salish "Canadian". The Cowichan, for instance, have territory that extends into what's now the US. The Coast Salish as a whole are split almost perfectly in half by the US-Canada border - and have close ties between reserves on both sides. 1
