There are very few artists for whom I can confidently say I like every single one of their songs - August Ponthier is one of those artists for me. thebethturnbull.substack.com/p/album-revi...

It's been a year since I launched my Substack, and I think my first essay is still incredibly relevant.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I maintain that Hadestown is the best original musical of at least the last decade, if not the 21st century as a whole, and although the source material is ancient, it is as relevant as ever. thebethturnbull.substack.com/p/hadestown-...

Whenever a beloved novel is adapted into a movie, fans hold their breath hoping that the characters and stories they loved aren’t altered too severely... thebethturnbull.substack.com/p/mini-movie...
I heard a bird sing in the dark of December.
A magical thing. And sweet to remember.
We are nearer to Spring than we were in September.

Functioning local journalism is critical to democracy. Today’s announcement that Block Communications Inc. is ceasing operations of the Post-Gazette effective May 3 is devastating for the Pittsburgh region. This is a major loss to the people of Pittsburgh when it comes to transparency in government, accountability from our institutions, and learning about what is happening in our communities. I’m concerned about the hundreds of employees who will be losing their jobs at a time when local media is providing fewer family-sustaining jobs. I’m deeply worried about the public’s ability to access trustworthy and fact-checked information at a time when misinformation is running rampant online. I’m shocked that a generational Pittsburgh institution will cease to exist. This announcement about the end of the Post-Gazette comes on the heels of Block Communications also abruptly ceasing operations of the Pittsburgh City Paper on December 31st. It is unclear if Block Communications pursued other pathways for buyers or reimagining a downsized future for the papers, but destroying two legacy papers in a week leaves a gaping hole in our local news environment and I will be engaging local leaders to assess options for a more robust and sustainable local news ecosystem.

I recently met with Christina Cassotis, the CEO of PIT Airport, to discuss the new baggage handling system. The wait at baggage claim can be frustrating, especially during the holiday rush, but the new conveyor belt system shortens the distance from plane to claim. youtu.be/0ht7478Mpg4?...
there are hardly any writing tips I think are worth anything at all -- any path is good, I don't trust any maxims about which one works better or is more valid or results in deeper/harder/better work -- but this is a sound principle.
