Sometimes America is so beautiful it just makes you want to cry. From beauty.

I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, but Harry and Hermione dancing to Nick Cave’s O Children gets me every time

I pledge allegiance to these hands

Rob cannot podcast this week, he’s tied to a tree in a jungle of mystery

Biggest question heading into #SNL tonight: Who will be Sally during Role Model’s performance?

Dude you are allowed to say you changed your mind in the face of new info. Obviously the Fate of Ophelia is the biggest song, and it will probably be her chance to win Song Of The Year in a decade. Loved the nuanced discussion on the lyrics though!

That’s awesome! I wonder who the other 99,000,000 streams came from.

Get this dude several more bananas

Taylor: in a loving relationship, owns all of her work, the happiest she’s ever been.

Also Taylor:

KOUASSI!!!!

Love the pod, hate Twitter.

Out of all the great 2024 albums, which one will we still be talking about the most in 10 years? (ok to include Chappell too if that’s the answer)

WHY NOT 12:12 PM TAYLOR?! Some of us need our sleep!

Why not NICE GUYS 2?

This would be an incredible combination of talent and material. Hope it happens!

Derik Queen is going to be remembered as an iconic Terp for this game-winner alone.

The 4-seeded Terps survive CSU and advance to the Sweet 16.

Ovechkin is on fire! Such a pleasure to be able to watch history being made

Happy with the #grammys winners except it’s boring to give best song & best record to the same thing. Once Not Like Us won, I was pulling for Birds of a Feather or Pls Pls Pls for song. But not shocking to see the rap song win when you nominate 7 pop songs and 1 rap song with 13000 people voting

What a fun season for the #Commanders. Watching the past few games with my daughters has been the joy of a lifetime. This is not the end, it’s the beginning. #RaiseHail

Andrew Dismukes and his Puppet Dad an instant #snl classic

Sources: Snyder 'hates' Commanders success Sources close to the ex-Commanders owner say he remains in denial over what led to his ouster from the NFL.

Latest from @dvnjr and me.
*How Dan Snyder views Commanders' run from afar: 'He f—-ing hates it'
*How Snyder tried to blow up the sale to Harris at the eleventh hour
*Nee stuff on legal cases, his life in London, and why Jerry Jones says "It was time for a divorce.”

So what’s the weather look like next Sunday in Philadelphia?

With Washington’s win tonight, every NFC team other than the Dallas Cowboys now will have played in a conference championship game going back to the 1996 season.

The Cowboys last NFC title game appearance was 1995.

My fantasy football championship comes down to Daniels/McLaurin tonight vs Purdy/Kittle tomorrow. Potential for me to be very upset by the end of the night. Go Commanders!

Luigi Mangione in orange jumpsuit in the center of the frame, flanked by law enforcement officers, his hands are clasped and bound in front of him he looks off to the side pensively, seriously does this guy just not photograph poorly at all?

"Okay, get some snaps of that Mangione character, but you better not pull any bullshit where he looks like the subject in a 16th century painting called 'Christ taken at the Garden of Gethsemane'."
"Okay, now don't be mad but..."

I’ve needed an escape and so have been turning to fiction, and y’all, I haven’t read in so long a book as exhilarating and beautifully humane as Barbara Kingsolver’s “Demon Copperhead.” I turned the last page and yet can’t get the characters and the writing out of my head. Do yourselves a favor.

I will be getting 4 hours of sleep max

Thanks to The Ringer and literally no one else for the great podcasts this year! (And especially to the hosts who have migrated to Bluesky @seanfennessey.bsky.social @jowrotethis.bsky.social @nathanchubbard.bsky.social)

As usual, my Spotify Wrapped reflects my current musical taste, which is equal parts 41 year old man and teenage girl.

Congrats on your new gig running the Eagles’ Bluesky!

Tough loss for the Spirit in the #NWSL championship. On another night if the calls had gone a little different, they would’ve been deserved winners. Enjoyed watching this playoff run though!
