More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

Some of you don't know of the world pre-Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. She changed everything for quirky weird girls everywhere. Outcasts no more, our personalities were actually advantageous.

a woman is standing in front of a bulletin board with a sign on it that says ' where can i help you '

Alt: Diane Keaton in her most famous Annie Hall attire (white dress shirt, black vest, long blue tie sticking out below the vest, khaki mens-cut trousers, black hat) sayingm "Oh well! La-Di-Dah."

She was an absolutely wonderful actress- and a rare and fascinating person. Thoughts with her children and sisters. Rest in peace Diane.

One of those actors who not only had enormous talent and range but absolutely radiated charisma with it.

A rare and magical thing.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

The BBC is slowly but surely destroying Radio 4 as well. It’s the last bastion of intelligent debate in Britain, yet it’s increasingly becoming a vehicle for culture wars. When the history of the UK in this period is written, the BBC will have a lot to answer for when it comes to stirring division
