Mainstream coverage of the Valkyries is not great, so I was very pleased to find @valkyriesbeat.bsky.social!

I am SO curious. Does he have a worm wrangler who digs them up every morning so they'll be nice and fresh, or does he source them at a bait shop? Does he wash off the dirt first? Is there an actual benefit to worm-eating or is this just insane rich person behavior?

You know what's NOT up for debate? "It's Up For Debate: An Evening with Charlie Rose Presented by Polymarket, featuring Andrew Yang & Marjorie Taylor Green" would be the worst possible first-date activity ever. And I say that as someone who was once taken on a date to see William F. Buckley Jr.

I realize that not all authors can afford a pro headshot, but please don't use a photo that has been heavily processed with AI to make it "look better." It just makes me suspicious what else you might be using AI for.

I'm sitting on a bench looking out at Alcatraz Island, and can't help but wonder... what ever happened to the plan of turning it back into a prison? Did it get lost in the shuffle of building a ballroom and adding another head to Mount Rushmore?

@peterhartlaub.bsky.social Have you ever noticed this cool 49ers parking sign on Pacific? I can't believe I never spotted it before! Guessing it's from Candlestick?

An old parking sign from the San Francisco 49ers, most likely from Candlestick Park

As someone who's been following the late night TV scene since the 90s, I find the fact that Fallon will most likely be the last host standing to be a bummer. This article is a bit hyperbolic, but an interesting read nevertheless. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

currentaffairs.org

The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon

Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture.

No podcast episode should be longer than an hour. Podcasts that are released twice weekly (or more) should never be longer than 30 minutes tops.

if you are a bigot or support bigotry or act in a movie built on the profits of hate, people are allowed to not like you 1. because bigotry is bad and 2. because people generally DONT LIKE THINGS THAT HURT THEM. like this is so obvious. it is not 'canceling' it is an exercise in basic human autonomy

It’s been going around for a day or so, but you really need to watch this Dutch late-night show’s parody of MAGA Disney. It’s brutal and honestly better than anything our comedy shows have done this week (though Colbert had a cute riff on Be Our Guest) youtu.be/7vRX-BQAjeE?...
