This week the Stuff You Should Know crew (@syskpodcast.bsky.social) dug out a chilling tale that’s haunted me now for years. A dark, riveting listen.

McCartney’s debut solo album remains a low-key non-depressing sneaky little masterpiece. A Sunday night wonder, even when Sunday doesn’t feel like itself

I forgot how sublime this is youtu.be/YC1rIlujK8w?...

Let’s get ripped

Fucking Charlie Sheen at his lowest shit

Magnificent anecdote richly told

Tiger’s chip shot at the Masters in ‘05 was luminous. The sort of moment that stops fans in their tracks and etches memories on their hearts. Now, this. What a damn shame.

@sterlewine.bsky.social “Days We Left Behind” outpaces “Early Days,” a defensive song I’ve never much loved. The new one is a treasure

Bring this on www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Zoe is a hero www.cincinnati.com/story/news/e...

Sure reads like the Cincy cops are selling a pack of lies www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

Yeah, no. Nobody gets a permission slip to yell, "Hey, f-----!", just because they wink at their gay friend and whisper "Watch me, I'm doing a great bit" beforehand.

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.

As the estimable @johnfugelsang.bsky.social rightly declares, this here is a tremendous, barely-heralded LP from the Boss. Cannot recommend it enough.

Relocated Threads to the very back of my phone’s home screen. Enough of that shit

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

i posted this to threads earlier and have many people in my replies saying i’m lying and that this never happened? so many cooked brains.

@mikebatestwibh.bsky.social Andrew Abbott is a hell of a pitcher whom I love. But he looks country as a chicken coop

Weird to realize the one area of life where I actually have gotten more conservative as I’ve gotten older is “Opening Day should involve the Cincinnati Reds on regular TV for an afternoon game”

This framing is appalling and, importantly, just fucking wrong - "just $1" is $1 too much, because the charges are illegitimate - it is not illegal in Georgia to induce one's own abortion, so I don't know what "illegal abortion" the AP (or the prosecutors) are talking about here

Numbers stations are fascinating and eerie

Sometimes the shit just makes me laugh out loud. How the fuck doomed are we? “Could I have taken Elvis in a fight.” That’s SNL having a bad week writing

That Trump is speaking at Graceland is one of those dystopian twists so betraying of our doom that it initially made me laugh aloud. Fucking Graceland

Ages ago some dear buddies and I would joke-quote Cena’s movie debut, a silly loony action caper called The Marine. That the star of this smartass inside joke has over the years revealed such a heart, then, is unexpected, so wonderful.

@glennkenny.bsky.social Moby, clad in carnal leather gear, whips Jonah Hill and Russell Brand in Get Him To The Greek

Not one of them has ever stood in a line for 4 hours or more to vote in person. Not one of them has been turned away at the polls because they are suddenly “not on the list.” Not one has had their pay docked b/c they arrived late to work b/c they went to vote in the morning.

If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I want to hear from you. Reach me via Signal at marisakabas.04

Gotta respect the pure randomness of the sizable motorcycle that just passed Loom HQ blasting R. Kelly’s “When A Woman’s Fed Up”

Just referred to Lauryn Hill as the Harper Lee of hip-hop. I’ll stand by this

This moved me. Worth the watch.

Your reminder to be sure to download and print out the Mueller Report (I did years ago). We should expect that there will come a time when it can no longer be found online.

My dad gave me Jaws for my 11th birthday. He stapled the chapter with the sex scene and told me not to read it. I read it. He said, "I'm very disappointed in you." I said, "I'm very disappointed in YOU." A day later he told me he wouldn't pre-censor a book he gave me again. I couldn't believe I won.

If you sincerely wanted to protect Americans from Islamic terrorism you would not say that civilian Muslims in Iran were fair game.

Hidden-classic Oasis and two-bag hot green tea what’s up Saturday night

i expect that the Charlie Kirk respecters are infuriated by this callous response to death

It would be cool to see more people on social media who are capable of denouncing or at the very least eschewing both antisemitism and Islamophobia, and recognizing that both are very real and very wrong, without any buts or caveats

I've confirmed an invitation was sent out to some staff at DHS about a going away party for Kristi Noem. The invite said it was scheduled for yesterday. If you have more info about where the party was held, who was there, photos/videos, etc. I can be reached on Signal at marisakabas.04

Gotta be up and theoretically-ready to work in like seven hours. But, this arrived tonight. Friday exhaustion it is

There's a moment in March when suddenly the daylight becomes that much stronger, that much more beautiful and that much more willing to stay in the sky longer. And the dog loves it as well.

The GOP is a party of hardcore, unrepentant racists who are pushing for voter ID by claiming it is needed in order to prevent voter fraud--which is a decades-long lie that was always intended to lay the groundwork for disenfranchising non-white citizens. There is no nuance; that is all this is.

when i spoke to people whose SNAP benefits were threatened in the fall by the government shutdown, the thing many of them were most concerned about was access to fresh produce.

Every single thing named after Cesar Chavez should be renamed for Dolores Huerta

It's pretty fucked up that the US government is trying to starve the entire nation of Cuba to death and there's basically zero news coverage of that reality

This PEANUTS comic strip was published #OTD on March 16, 1963.

One last thing: Chalamet lost for the same reason Hawke and Moura and DiCaprio did--because Michael B. Jordan won. Academy votes are not like internet posts: Most people vote affirmatively, because a performance thrilled or moved or delighted them. They almost never vote primarily to block someone.

People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.

Really disrespectful for them to continue awarding Best Animated Short after Kobe won
