Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

@gabino.bsky.social I just finished House of Bone and Rain and it was fantastic. Best book I've read this year. Okay, well, I've only finished three books so far this year but it ranks pretty darned high against everything from last year as well.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

You know what? I’m bipolar and have never had to apologize in the WSJ. Asshole is totally different problem.

My roommate once told me “I’ll stick both feet up your ass and walk around” and for probably 30 years now I’ve had to deal with that mental image.

Schrödinger's President.

All I want is for it to happen while he's giving a speech, something in public, even better if it's broadcast live. I don't want them to be able to hide it for a few days.

Jungle pouch, primordial pouch - whatever you call it, Booker has it more than any other cat I know. Now with the new cat tree with the porthole in the top it occasionally just kind of … sags through.

Mine is the Falling Water River. It doesn’t always look like this, but I think it’s at its best when it does.

Drew Brees, someone who would rather be in California: hello yes I love the city of New Orleans and would like to pair up with notable fast food chain Jimmy John’s. Tyler Shough, busy losing his mind at Neyow’s Creole Café:

One of the only reasons I really enjoy being a supervisor is because when I’m on a call and one of my reports sounds sick I can say “Why are you working? Go rest up! We can cover for you.” None of us should be dying at our desks.

Traveled from Asheville up to Marshall last night to eat at Noodle Hole (iykyk). Beautifully misty along the French Broad River, giving downtown this gorgeous vibe.

Me, 9:00 AM, counting the number of books in my to-read pile: Great! Based on how many I read last year this should get me through fall! No more buying books for a while. Me, 11:30 PM, on bookoutlet: another six or ten can’t hurt, right? I mean I’m at the point of free shipping.

There are a lot of things I love about living in Asheville, that's for sure, but I do still miss New Orleans. Of course it's the food and festivals and all that, but I just recently realized how much I miss the look of the city itself. Some of my favorite photos: komara.exposure.co/new-orleans

This year I think I’d like to read more newsletters written by humans, but I’m not entirely sure where to start. I enjoy the one from @yumewrites.bsky.social and would love more from authors #booksky but am open to anything, I think, so I welcome your recommendations!

full sass mode

Spent my first money of the year at my local bookstore so that feels like an auspicious start for 2026.

@hackett.bsky.social I just finished Devils Kill Devils by @comptonwrites.bsky.social and if you haven't read it - though I'm guessing there's a good chance you have - you must do so immediately.

as a kid we would pour gasoline on styrofoam and light it because the neighbor boy randy said that was how you made napalm. kid was 11 and didn’t own a chemistry set but there was no internet so we just took his word for it. turns out he was right. fucken randy, what a pyro king.

more like Exxon Valdeez nuts! Am I too late? I feel like I’m too late on that one.

Even though I come from a Toyotathon family I don’t get offended when someone wishes me Happy Honda Days. I know they mean well.

When I was little I learned about racism from the Mummer’s Parade and like three or four years after that I learned that it was bad

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.
