Advent calendars mark the season when society obeys instructions to eat chocolate by mysterious brands they've never heard of.
Naturally, this season follows a month after really caring what types of candy strangers give out.

On January 30, the album I made for Grammy-nominated hip-hop legend Declaime finally comes out (singles January 2 and 16)!
I've been sitting on the masters since Groundhog Day, and it's relief as much as excitement to share this with you.

If you're creating a joke by writing your own lyrics to something, always make sure to match the meter.
That's what gets the joke to land.

Tonight, I had the classic song production conundrum:
Is this song meant to be sparing with its layers, or am I just lazy?

Today, I sent one of my favorite singers one of my favorite instrumentals.
Today, she agreed to write lyrics for, and sing on, it.

@baseball-reference.com Hi! Is there an easy way to get Standings for Any Date (and the teams' schedule page records) to match the actual standings on those dates? Suspended games being counted to the day they started, instead of the day they completed, means historical research isn't reliable.

It's all 66 instances of a PR batting later that inning, then not taking the field.
Highlights:
Eric Davis/Peanuts Lowrey 2x
Cobb, Mungo, Stargell, & Mike Hampton

Also about music:
My song "7000 Sparks" is in @mmemaledicta.bsky.social's Pride 2025 mix, the corpus of which I'm now listening to.
The song's about navigating how parental relationships change over time. And my autism diagnosis reception got a similar frosty disbelief that many who come out get.

I wrote a piece for @ordinarytimes.bsky.social about the Michael Tait scandal & assumptions of the '90s music moral panic that helped get us to here.

The Red Sox quotes about players who do everything "night in and night out" to help the team win smack a lot of:
"Kids these days have no respect for their elders!"
without elaborating on what the elders have been doing.

A wild read from @restlessmosaic.bsky.social
"I wondered what lawyer would have been bold enough to argue all this to a higher court. Was it the sighing, obliging grandkid of someone from church who they were told was a “sweet young man with adorable cheeks who I hope settles down soon”?"

Over at @ordinarytimes.bsky.social today, I wrote my first article in five years.
It's about a man who made a very high-strung, literal hymnal, his tax law problems decades later, and either a surprising or unsurprising connection with modern politics.
