Finally watching The Americans and it’s triggering that Bourne Response in me where every time I watch or read something about spies I think, “I’d be so good at that.”

Radioactive, the podcast about Karen Silkwood’s death, released its finale today. A major revelation never comes, but in its place is a statement from Karen’s daughter—a moving and eloquent condemnation of true crime obsessions—that I found pretty stunning! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

about a year ago I started a running list of the "best original songs not nominated for the best original song oscar," which I update each time I remember one. I'm prepared to add all of these 2024 tracks to that list when (based on current predictions) they're ignored. really good stuff this year!
