Glad things are good, Danielle. You deserve it! I loved that talk with Amy and Rachel too. By the way, if I remember correctly, Society’s Mirror was just a super-pretentious fake improv group name we joked about someone using.

The late Dr. Jane Goodall with a wonderful posthumous message. Worth the few minutes! What a treasure.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Golden girl, Holly. Yes, we’re insane enough to dress her up for it.

Such an excellent doc, isn’t it? As well-made, inspiring, and fascinating as it is heartbreaking.

Great to learn from Bob Mehr’s incredible book about The Replacements, “Trouble Boys”, that “Watch The Sunrise” is the song Paul Westerberg was referring to with the line “I’m in love, what’s that song?” in “Alex Chilton”.

More and more these days, I think about this line from “Bull Durham”:
“The world is made for people who aren’t cursed with self-awareness.”

“There is still so much in the world worth fighting for. So much that is beautiful, so many wonderful people working to reverse the harm, to help alleviate the suffering. And so many young people dedicated to making this a better world.”

HE TOLD YOU HE WAS A SNAKE WHEN YOU LET HIM IN.

Donald Trump’s capture of the Justice Department is nearly complete and it didn't begin -- and won't end -- with James Comey.

I take a deep dive and speak to folks who personally know the terrain we're treading.
