It's odd walking in the building and running into an absolute legend, then discussing her recent interview with and your shared fandom for Jason Isbell, but that's calling Terry Gross a colleague. Congrats on 50 years! whyy.org/articles/ter...

Explain to me - why wouldn't Seattle go for 4th and 1 to win the game?

China now has permission to invade Taiwan. You traded oil for AI. We'll see which is the future.

So Geese is a thing? I haven't got it yet.

Love Kathleen Edwards. Have since Failer. "Save Your Soul" is one of my favorite songs of this year. Serious Sheryl Crow vibes, but totally her.

Know I'll regret this, but how do Nets score 90 points tomorrow night?
