Sitting here watching Soylent Green, eating Oreos. As one does.

Was talking with Bob Crawford today. And it's obvious Lindsey is one of the mean girls in high school. Can't defend himself so he travels in a pack. First with McCain, then with Trump. Of all senators, Lindsey is probably the most transparent and the most desperate. How pathetic.

So fun to have Bob Crawford from the Avett Brothers on the pod today to talk about John Quincy Adams along with thoughts on historical mean girls, and a mutual love of Don Williams. Book out now; pod drops next week

"I said, war, huh (good God, y'all) What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, just say it again War (whoa), huh (oh Lord) What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, listen to me"- Pope Leo, probably www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

Is it a good sign or a bad sign for a president when a popular sports figure is denouncing your immigration policies on a widely watched March Madness broadcast?

If you would like to read up a bit on the symbolism of tonight’s watch, I Saw the TV Glow, either now or after viewing it, here is seven-part(!) examination of the film’s trans allegory by writer and filmmaker @tillybridges.bsky.social #HATM

Hey who are my Colorado people here? Especially folks in the Springs and Front Range. We’ve got something big we’re working on.

At Costco now. Beef prices went up 80 cents per pound from one day to the next. Insane.

Fetterman is a lazy slob who is being courted by the right wing bc they’ll excuse his behavior. Let him switch parties and good riddance.

Ever feel like you were raised to survive in no longer exists? That you are not who you are meant to be? That 90s television was just somehow...better? #HATM is here to help with one of the best horror* films (one of the best films!) of the decade! * - the "horror" here is mostly existential dread

I wonder if they accept group bidders? @herberthistory.bsky.social should have this in his office . #HATM

What these admins will never tell you is that the *courses* in these majors are often full. Students don't *major* in these fields, but they really want to take the classes. They use number of majors as a metric on purpose so they can achieve their cuts.

Oh Canada.

We got on a plane and headed out for adventure. Day one, checking in. jasonherbert.substack.com/p/vancouver
