Book 41 of 2025: THE CORNBREAD MAFIA by @jimhigdon.bsky.social. Figured I’d learn a little Kentucky history while driving from Louisville to Chicago and back. For a trip to Amsterdam, no less. Subject matter appropriate! If you love true crime where you root for the criminals, this one’s for you. 📚👀

Repo Man in the cinema on a 35mm print? Yes, please!

I enjoyed the hot dogs.

On Saturday, I had the honor of celebrating the illustrious career of Prof. Sam Freedman. I raised a few glasses with him, @jimhigdon.bsky.social, and @samindrakunti.bsky.social, among many other ancestors!

My books wouldn't have been published without Sam's help!

I’m now among the humans on earth who have eaten at Meesh Meesh, and yeah — worth the hype.

Last call: Kentucky bars, restaurants prepare to pull hemp beverages from shelves While single drink sales will be banned at bars and restaurants, you'll still be able to purchase packaged hemp beverages at Kentucky liquor stores and online.

The clampdown comes in Kentucky— hemp beverage sales by the drink becomes illegal tonight at midnight. www.wlky.com/article/kent...

Louisville people: join us at Hauck’s Corner at 5:00 on Friday to raise one last Cornbread before on-premise prohibition begins on June 1.

I closed so many tabs this morning.

Looks like we May’d it.

See you in Chicago in June @benzinga.bsky.social!

This account is great.

I dream of a dog that weighs 46 pounds! Thor is a lean 95.

They will tell you that puppy is a lab mix, but it is not a lab mix. And now you own a giant dog.

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt).

Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders /
envelopes.

Fond of “goon squad” myself

Have you ever flown while you were congested and then when the plane starts descending, it feels like your head might explode and then your head does explode and you’re walking around the airport with no head? That’s me at DFW right now.

Our Texan customers are not criminals, and neither are we — unless Texas makes us criminals.

One day, an airline will figure out to board their flights from back to front, but until then, the opposite of that.

I said “Doctor! Is there nothing I can take?” I said “Doctor! To relieve this belly ache?”

Been listening to a lot of bebop jazz recently. My brain is not sophisticated enough to understand what’s going on structurally, but it just feels good.

Two down. #BBN, we'll see you in Indy 😼😼😼

Drake finally won a battle

Arkansas beat regular Kansas

I just got out of a 90-minute dentist appointment, and looks like I had more fun than Louisville fans during that time period.

Just Matt and Drew?

It’s not great, Dawn

Update: if SB 202 passes as written, you’ll still be able to buy 5mg THC seltzers, but not on-premise at bars or restaurants. They are taking that away.

Is KSR on BlueSky yet? #bbn
