Well, the last thing I got from the Zon was @todgoldberg.bsky.social’s new book from First Reads, so I guess I’ll stop reading immediately so I don’t get hurt or something.

RFK running to get his snake tincture

Dear Dems, loudly and publicly telling Donnie to fuck all the way off will pretty much guarantee my vote forever.

If you’re waiting to make a “stay in line” joke on Election Night, STAY IN LINE!!!

10 very good guidelines for blurbers and blurbees.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

The full episode will be waiting for you in the morning. Right now, here's a taste of what you'll get with @alexkenna.bsky.social. thewritersdossier.com | alexkenna.com

We do have an extra hour to work with

Nice work Louis Varland

Love the energy of a nine-hole hitter thinking he got plunked.

That was a BOMB

Honestly, the most terrifying movie I’ve ever seen is A House of Dynamite knowing who we have in each of those roles in real life.

A movie you’ve seen more than seven times with a gif.

First kid under 8 dressed as the Babadook gets all the candy.

I ran a “Name That Tune” giveaway for a copy of SILENT CREEK on IG and the answer was Batdance so I signed the book “Keep Bustin’” and I think I’m gonna do that all the time now.

One time on Halloween at the very end of the night a van pulled up and dropped some kids off that were not from our neighborhood but last minute blitzing for candy and you know what I did? I emptied the remainder of my bucket on them - and we do FULL SIZE. They got like 10 each. I’m their god now.

Man, going from the Pirates to the Twins organization… Derek Shelton must have a punishment kink.

For real tho making guy manage the Pirates then this iteration of the Twins is cruel and unusual punishment. I’d joke Shelton should get hazard pay but we know the Pohlads aren’t springing for that.

Set Adrift on Memory Bliss by PM Dawn... Certified Banger.

Lots of reporting on SNAP getting the details wrong. SNAP is not set to run out of money on November 1. There’s money in the contingency fund to pay benefits. The Trump admin is illegally refusing to deliver benefits on November 1, despite having funding to pay benefits.

"Drink the Rich" by @tonywirt.com might shock you a little. Superbly narrated by Rebecca Lee, this one is a stunner. leonardoaudio.com | thewritersdossier.com

I knew Gallery at Iowa, not super well, but his wife Becca was on my first WBB team. I’d heard rumors that Gallery was in a bad place over the years, and this was tough to read, but I’m really glad he and the family are healing.

Considering a pivot to standup. Who do I talk to about getting one of those Netflix specials?

Whew. Not a Dodgers guy but I’m tied and have seen that commercial for DOC way too many times. Thanks Freddie.

Who knew witnessing a murder could make you laugh

This is the test he’s so proud of passing.

What's the better opening? 1) Gimmie a beat 2) Spindarella cut it up one time

Floyd stays home.

Ant calls game.

Welcome to the league kid…

Jaden McDaniels welcoming Yang Hansen to the league whoa baby.

Listen to Gene. Gene is wise.

We don’t “hate America”, we hate YOU, because we love America.

Cina is great and you should buy her books.

24 years ago today Ron Gant recklessly and with malicious intent, slammed into Kent Hrbek, sending the small man reeling from the base. Then, while Hrbek selflessly held onto Mr Gant, so his World Series rival wouldn’t get hurt, Mr Gant lifted his own foot from the bag, causing him to be called out.

David Byrne rules…

NBC/Peacock getting in on the #NoKings protests…

Imagine seeing that many people give up their Saturday just to walk around downtown because you suck THAT much.

Big Ten College Newspaper Solidarity

Just a gentle reminder considering the number of spam texts I’ve been getting about tomorrow don’t ever sign up to be at a protest. Just go.

It’s a De La Friday

What’s the best one liner in movie history?

Come out, come out, wherever you are, because it’s That Noise at 2 AM, talking to @tonywirt.com about his latest thriller, SILENT CREEK. open.substack.com/pub/jamesdfh...

I can remember all of my childhood friends home numbers but couldn't tell you my daughters cell numbers with a gun to my head.
