Watching Messi and Beckham wipe away tears of joy/relief. I mock MLS every day, deservedly, but it clearly carries real weight, even for immortals. #MLSCup

I was *hoping* he'd pull Somalia.... #WorldCupDraw

A game show is *exactly* the milieu for The Schmuck. He should pull balls out of a bowl and get a golden trophy for it every day. #WorldCupDraw

FOX: your leader for clarity in global communication #WorldCupDraw

The prizes! Samsonite luggage! Dinner for two at The Cattleman! #WorldCupDraw

"Stability"! Laugh/Cry/Vomit emoji #WorldCupDraw

This #WorldCup draw broadcast is echt FIFA/USA 2025: gross, ugly, overdone, and nauseating. I deeply hate myself rn.

The Swanky Modes - "Ordinary Man" [United States, Soul] (1988) The Modes are actually Sam (of Sam & Dave) and Jr. Walker (from, obviously, Jr. Walker & the All-Stars). They appeared in a criminally unknown John Cusack/Tim Rob https://redd.it/119zi3p https://youtu.be/_93ShKPL37M

And one more before the long holiday weekend: A chat about CLINT with the Facts Verse video-cast (complete with a deeply unfortunate and inaccurate title). It's a full survey of the life and the work and some little-known truths. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXLG...

At the Broadway Books event for my novel, when @shawnlevy.com told me he pictured my character Four the Door as played by the classic film actor Mike Mazurki, it got me thinking about the ways the film Murder, My Sweet had influenced my book. So I put together a post about it....

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone. Killing IMLS could have killed ILL. This is great news. 📚

The first official US coin was the Fugio cent, rumored to have been designed by Ben Franklin. Instead of "In God We Trust" (which wasn't put on coins until the Civil War) it said Mind Your Business.

I recently chatted for a lengthy bit with Deirdre Lorenz for her UPGRADED pod-/video-cast, and our conversation went LOTS of places. It was terrific fun. You can watch at the YouTube link below or catch the pod at podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... youtu.be/LHHd4P7wGi8

Remember 2021, when MTG tried to start an America First caucus, dedicated to “common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and had it rejected by her own party as racist and nativist?

Fox News ran video that it said were shot in Portland, Oregon, in September to gin up support for deploying the National Guard there. In truth the images were shot 5 years ago. @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/port...

Yes, he is my dear old chum, but Marc Mohan doesn't owe me money or even favors, so I reckon this interview he did with me about CLINT and other things I've done and am doing is legit. Thanks to the folks at @orartswatch.org for the opportunity. www.orartswatch.org/clint-the-ma...

Sally Kirkland 1) was actually Sally Kirkland *Junior* 2) was escorted to her prom by Ted Koppel 3) introduced Robert De Niro to Bob Dylan 4) punched me in the arm -- hard -- and told me amazing stories at a film festival in southern Oregon RIP to a one-and-only www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

This fucking guy.....

Judge says again, louder this time: No National Guard deployment in Oregon. @maxbernstein.bsky.social reports:

Look, I'm not saying the economy has rebounded yet, but all I know is I've only had to work 87 days so far this year and I've made as much money as I did last year. That's the kind of progress I want to see.

I'll probably catch this on Hulu the next day so I can fast-forward through the boring parts. You just know they're going to drag it out like an American Idol finale.

I remember growing up in a conservative household I was told about how in communist dictatorships, the people starve while the leaders build opulent palaces and ballrooms. Anyway, not sure why I brought that up.

The recordings Fred Astaire made in 1952 with a jazz group (including Oscar Peterson, Barney Kessel and Charlie Shavers) show what a great jazz singer he was - perfect phrasing, light and nimble as his dancing.
