The first time I saw Dolly, I cried. The second time, it magically started RAINING while she played Islands in the Stream. It was summer! In the Bay Area! She is magic forever.

Terminator 2, named by my daughter after the sequel to Terminator, not a previous cat named Terminator.

Some people need a jigsaw so they can get their puzzle-solving energy out in a constructive way instead of trying to be book psychiatrists

Which Nuremberg Chronicle lady are you? Images from @rarebookschool.bsky.social, RBS 6734.

Graphic showing six cropped woodcut images from the Nuremberg Chronicle depicting various female saints and historic women. A couple of the women hold books, and two hold swords. Another has a sword through her neck. Text alongsude them reads, "Which Nuremberg Chronicle woman are.you? 1 Outwardly calm but inwardly screaming. 2 Haven't slept in a week. 3 In pain but carrying on. 4 So over this nonsense. 5 Off with their heads. 6 Warrior queen." At the bottom, pale text says, "Images from the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493), Rare Book School, RBS 6734."

My dad disappeared from his Baltimore trucking company when I was a kid. 20 years later, I went looking for answers. I did it to survive. In telling this story, I hope in some way to help others do the same. “Whatever Happened to Eddy Crane?” is out in April 2026. This is the cover…

Book cover. The scene is a narrow street with row homes lit by street lamp along the left, with brick stoops. The title is in white sans serif: Whatever Happened to Eddy Crane? The subtitle is smaller, in gold: a memoir and a murder investigation. My name, kate crane, is in white caps. The blurb at the top says: Beautifully crafted. Crane stirred the embers of a Baltimore cold case everyone else was willing to forget – her father’s. —David Simon.

“Inshallah on the front page,” is a Groucho-level aside.

Skinny Malinky Leads the war for Kidness is criminally out of print, post-apocalyptic sci-fi for kids. Blew my mind at 13.

One thing people need to know if they leave New Orleans is that you're expected to stop calling other men "baby" once you get to the new spot. I only recently learned this and after 18 years it's too late for me to change my ways.

13 y.o. kid took me to her first concert last night, someone she found online. It was a laptop pop band with a drummer and frontwoman, songs about heartbreak and comic/surreal stage patter in between. The perfect band?

One of the underappreciated aspects of UVA home football games is it is the only event in Charlottesville where grown people can socialize and listen to current rap music.

Absolutely Insane that the Young Thug and Donald Trump trials are happening at the same time in the same courthouse. Two formal innovators that went to the very top of the game, but just COULD NOT STOP doing crimes.

Been thinking for years now that it takes a worried man to sing a worried song but it might be these worried songs aren’t worth the effort.

Carson notoriously never booked rock bands, one notable exception: Crowded House.

My barber doesn’t speak much English so I just show her pictures of Johnny at various stages of life. Seventies Johnny could be next.
