Brilliant idea and flashes me back to Gary Gnu, who delivered the good gnews on The Great Space Coaster. Get on board.

Bye Aaron. Time to go away. If that 4th quarter didn’t get you, then the ayahuasca will. ⚡️
Finally, it’s the last day of Aaron Rodgers’ QB career. Could be the last time. I don’t know.

The 49ers won it for Bobby. We’d watched thousands of hours of 49ers football together and texted through thousands of hours of more Niners game. There’s no other explanation for how they won that game.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested.
It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

@billjanovitz.bsky.social this is a great song and was stunningly juxtaposed against the other Bill’s tune via not so random Release Radar placement. Something especially soothing and Petty-esque about this one. Thanks for releasing new EPs! Very “I’m an adult now” for us rooted in og Buffalo Tom.
