Book 41 of 2025: THE CORNBREAD MAFIA by @jimhigdon.bsky.social. Figured I’d learn a little Kentucky history while driving from Louisville to Chicago and back. For a trip to Amsterdam, no less. Subject matter appropriate! If you love true crime where you root for the criminals, this one’s for you. 📚👀

my friend @jimhigdon.bsky.social doing big things

Repo Man in the cinema on a 35mm print? Yes, please!

On Saturday, I had the honor of celebrating the illustrious career of Prof. Sam Freedman. I raised a few glasses with him, @jimhigdon.bsky.social, and @samindrakunti.bsky.social, among many other ancestors! My books wouldn't have been published without Sam's help! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/b...

I’m now among the humans on earth who have eaten at Meesh Meesh, and yeah — worth the hype.

The clampdown comes in Kentucky— hemp beverage sales by the drink becomes illegal tonight at midnight. www.wlky.com/article/kent...

Louisville people: join us at Hauck’s Corner at 5:00 on Friday to raise one last Cornbread before on-premise prohibition begins on June 1.

I closed so many tabs this morning.

Looks like we May’d it.

See you in Chicago in June @benzinga.bsky.social!

They will tell you that puppy is a lab mix, but it is not a lab mix. And now you own a giant dog.

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

Have you ever flown while you were congested and then when the plane starts descending, it feels like your head might explode and then your head does explode and you’re walking around the airport with no head? That’s me at DFW right now.

Our Texan customers are not criminals, and neither are we — unless Texas makes us criminals.

One day, an airline will figure out to board their flights from back to front, but until then, the opposite of that.

Been listening to a lot of bebop jazz recently. My brain is not sophisticated enough to understand what’s going on structurally, but it just feels good.

Two down. #BBN, we'll see you in Indy 😼😼😼

Drake finally won a battle

Arkansas beat regular Kansas

I just got out of a 90-minute dentist appointment, and looks like I had more fun than Louisville fans during that time period.

Is KSR on BlueSky yet? #bbn

The Kentucky Senate has introduced a bill to ban all hemp beverages in Kentucky, effective immediately. To stop this from happening and protect your freedom, we need your help. If you live in Kentucky, please CLICK OUR BIO LINK to send an email to your Kentucky senator.

Pretty amazing given that James Madison was only 5’4”

Kentucky-based @cornbreadhemp.bsky.social owner @jimhigdon.bsky.social said the company had invested $1 million into a new hemp beverage product that was set to launch in stores this month, but this ban would wipe out that investment and those of others in the hemp industry in Kentucky. #kyga25

NEW from me: A shell bill is getting a quick vote this afternoon with new language to entirely ban the sale of all hemp-derived beverages in Kentucky. #kyga25

If you live in Texas and love THC and freedom, please use the link below to contact your legislator in Austin!

Yesterday, we had the honor of attending @govandybeshear.bsky.social #TeamKentucky update to celebrate tax incentives for @cornbreadhemp.bsky.social worth $1 million over the next 10 years to support our growth and hiring plan!

Tennessee is my least favorite color

This morning, I got to explain the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar to my mom, so that was fun. How’s your Monday going?

Thank you, congressman!

It was cold in DC when I did this

if you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live

TikTok users this morning

Former Kentucky and NBA star Rex Chapman visited the Vanderbilt campus to speak to student-athletes, students, faculty, staff & members of the community about the peaks & valleys of life, including his struggles w/ addiction & mental health. Terrific speaker doing great work to help others

It's cold and snowy right now in Kentucky But don't let that distract from the fact that --- all 365+1 days in mind --- we're getting HOT

The worst thing I’ve done on BlueSky so far is following a starter pack of “comedians”… … who are less funny than the porn spam bots.

My wife said, “I’ll let you get back to your show.” She was talking about the Cats game.

NYC, from the 37th floor on 24th Street looking south, before the snow, during, and after.

So glad we made it to DCB Day at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the life and music of David Berman of the Silver Jews… and glad we aren’t alone

You want some 2025 glasses for cheap? I know a guy

We are amending the Controlled Substances Act for fentanyl (ok) and “other purposes” 🤔

I heard that Marylin Manson got two of his ribs surgically removed so that he could quote skeet himself.

Central High School showing up for the New Walnut St Park groundbreaking. #LMHA #CentralHigh worthy of a celebration.

We have officially entered the “find out” stage of democracy.

My wife: “what are you doing?" Me: “I'm pouring black coffee on this country ham. Can you hand me that brown sugar?"
