For my last piece of 2025, I had a long, personal convo with Karly Hartzman. We talked about the next Wednesday album, the band's early years, how she's handling their growing popularity, her evolving music taste, regrets/successes, and much more.

One of my thrifting skills from the early 2000s is that I can still run my hand along a row of thrift store sweaters and pull out the chunky knit 100% wool J Crew sweater from the 90s, and it has only gotten easier because most of the sweaters are now just plastic.

In 1996, I was grabbing a smoke behind a bar near St. Louis University at about 11pm one night and the back door opened and Brett Hull and Wayne Gretzky stepped out and burned one with me. Since they (sort of) approached me and not the other way around, they were very nice and chatty.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Missouri's leaders being incompetent worked in our favor this time.

I like that a lot of young MAGA bros are learning about mortgages via the 50-year mortgage discourse.
