Trying to leave it better than I found it.

Ole Miss alum. Always go to the show. SC/VA. 🌴🌴
This is such a bummer. Elle, Andraya and Chiney are/were so damn good together.

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Even putting everything else aside for a moment, this is also just dog shit writing.

Bryce Young treats the Falcons like Chipper Jones treated the Mets.

Unfortunately, he’s just Tony Graffanino against the rest of the league.

I love Todd Snider’s music and deeply enjoyed the few times I got to talk with him, including one early afternoon at a music festival when we were both just wandering around. I’ll write something soon, the first opportunity I can find. But here’s a quote from a 2012 interview I did with him. RIP.

Trying to imagine being in this room and hearing Decoration Day live for the very first time. Then having to wait an entire year for the album to come out to talk to folks about DD and Outfit.

Gives me chills.

For $10, you can buy Madi Diaz’s cover album of Blink 182’s Enema of the State, with all proceeds to the Defending Our Neighbors fund for immigrants and their families dealing with ICE’s bullshit.

Unsurprisingly, the tunes jam.

"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

On Friday, Mick Fleetwood surprised fans by playing “Tusk” with the Trojan Marching Band. But Dr. Bartner, the 85-year-old band director who helped bring it to life and earned USC two platinum, albums also surprised Mick. Inside the very L.A. story of the iconic “Tusk.”

The idea initially sounded so far-fetched band directors thought it was a prank. But the collaboration became a sensation.

Don’t let the shittiness of the world and the Democratic Party rob you of the joy that comes with Hillary Duff being back in the bops business.

I don't know the actual details of the shutdown deal but BlueSky is making it sound like the democrats just made a trade with the Rays.

I still don’t really understand this.

Kyrgios has a history of belittling women and plead guilty to physically abusing his partner. Pitting Sabalenka against him in the name of empowering women doesn’t make sense.

And if she wins, it’ll get brushed aside because he’s 652nd in the world.
The latest at Bounces, which is already generating lots of conversation there:

An interview with Stuart Duguid, the agent of Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios who is organizing their controversial “Battle of the Sexes” next month.

Entire offseason to go, but “the Braves aim to be a top-5 payroll in baseball” and “the Braves decline to spend a combined ~$11M on 2 good relievers for next season” both doesn’t mesh and doesn’t give a ton of optimism.

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."
