I won a pie at a race in the old people category & later discovered the event winners were *pissed* bc they got gift baskets, but no pies.

TIL about "Pants Off Friday" in Australia from the Women's Running Collective podcast. I need more info. The googler says it's one day only in May, but context indicates this is either a recurring joke or off-hand reference. #ExplainTheJoke

Given that this podcast has only been in existence for a few days, what's it gonna hurt to drop two episodes during the first week? So here's Ep. 2 of "Letting Them Talk with Will Harris," wherein I let Mitch Easter talk. willharris.substack.com/p/letting-th...

#OnThisDay in 1968, singer James Brown, the “Godfather of Soul,” hit #1 on the R&B charts for a record 6th week with “Say It Loud — I’m Black and I’m Proud (Part 1).” Brown saw 17 singles go to #1. He became an inaugural member of the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame. mississippitoday.org/2024/11/09/1...

As we head into a time of year that many people find stressful, go ahead and add my sleep podcast to your toolkit. It's purposely a dull delivery about Gen X's favorite music. I find it hilarious to quietly talk about wild times. SleepWithRockStars.com

This touching behind-the-scenes look at Des Linden’s last professional marathon premiered on YouTube last night. youtu.be/LuPVzH3HN8I

Niche running post: I run several half marathons a year for fun. I generally train for one w/ a pace goal, but usually train to have a fun day. Anyway, I'm using a new to me plan based on my estimated VO2 max (Vdot), & it sent my expected finish time, 5 minutes slower than I typically run a half.

I was not nominated for the Grammys. I'm not eligible, but alas... Meanwhile, I refused personal data on some internet stuff and now Google thinks I'm a child.

I guess The Style Council is like a reverse gateway drug to The Jam. Anyway, this is my second favourite live album and one of the first LPs I got with my own money. #TheJam #vinyl #xp

First they came for our trans and non-binary siblings. And we spoke out because we care about our fellow human beings and we recognize the hallmarks of fascism. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/o...

R.I.P. Gilson Lavis (Squeeze drummer) 😿

NC artists, Caitlin Cary and Skillet Gilmore, have works in this arts charity auction: artspacenc.org/gallery-1/ Y'all may know them from their bands, as well.

I struggle with clutter and being the depository for all the tchotchkes no other relative could let go. I've made progress, but still a ways to go. I wish I had a friend who could look at my possessions critically & help me redecorate/rearrange without any new items. I'm in "decision paralysis."

Between the call & response a cappella version & this one, this song will forever be deeply in my brain. Also this compilation is fun. music.apple.com/us/album/ame...

My favorite use of Clyde Stubblefield’s “Funky Drummer” break outside of “Funky Drummer” naturally

You really need context when people talk about microdosing these days.

#StopThePottySquat This is my new campaign slogan. I'm not running for anything. I just wanted y'all to know I am passionate about this issue.

Teen Vogue has been one of the top 3 in-depth political journalism outlets in the US for some time. Their coverage has been essential.

I would like to hire someone to make a memorable, entertaining remix of radio liners I provide. Not quite Max Headroom, but... DM me with rates.

It's 2pm ish, & the sun has dipped enough that I am ready to put on pajamas for the rest of the wfh day. Tbf, when we worked in studio, people also wore pajamas fairly often..

Between answering the door for trick-or-treaters, I put out the latest episode of the Fast People podcast. Sarah Lorge Butler caught up with Olympian Aliphine Tuliamuk days before her due date. This is a fun one. fastpeople.buzzsprout.com/2442756/epis...

On this day 40 years ago, the band wrote 'Swan Swan H' while stuck aboard their broken-down bus in Wyoming. "We were there from like three in the morning to six in the evening. We wrote a bunch of stuff, but ‘Swan Swan H’ was the only one that actually survived." - Peter

I thought Kipchoge was going to wear an orange version of that Nike honeycomb ACG shirt. NGL, I want one of those shirts so much. Lol

TIL there are "sleep influencers." I definitely planned my Gen X sleep podcast concept wrong.

I organize them by first letter, eliminating articles a/an/the. Ex: ABBA, Abe Partridge, Adam Ant, Alabama Shakes

So much better ;)

Yeah, yeah, we know: she's wackadoodledoo. Yet SC votes for her. I was at a C****** alumni event, and they all chattered about how much they have always despised her...but they vote for her.

“#SST was not a label you could pigeonhole. They had #Minutemen, they had #SaccharineTrust, they had #MeatPuppets. None of the bands on SST sounded like Black Flag, except for #BlackFlag.” Plans That They Made: #HüskerDü Interviewed buff.ly/k3f6SEV

Ok, giant bag of random CDs and giant bag of leftover running swag--sunglasses, coozies, etc. Every kid gets one of each until we run out.
