Sarah Beth arrives hot and unfiltered after a disastrous nail-salon visit, then settles in for the September 16 Porch Paper. Today’s stories include the Iran war-powers vote, the human cost of the conflict in Gaza, growing concern over AI data centers, AM radio’s return to new vehicles, Kentucky’s measles outbreak, medical-debt relief, and West Virginia’s historic land-conservation project. Plus: a newly announced celebration of Dolly Parton, an inexplicable LFO earworm, the Porch Almanac, watercolor prints traveling across America, and a reminder that getting your life back rarely happens with trumpets. Sometimes taking a shower, drinking some water, mailing the prints, and making it through Wednesday is enough.
