According to Douglas Brinkley’s “American Moonshot,” JFK proved he was more than just a spoiled brat whose daddy bought his success by … sleeping six hours a night?

Any recommendations for an audiobook (or podcast) on the making of Star Wars (the original movie/trilogy)? Going to be commuting a lot post-holidays, and need a break from my England-in-the-Middle-Ages kick.

a good way to get me to do something I don’t want to do is to tell me the honor of England is at stake.

Last year I started keeping a list of short stories I read. Sometimes I read one and my reaction is that of an Italian chef in a Bertolli ad, who is moved to tears that someone other than him, some Bertolli fuck, has made-a a lasagna so-a perfect, so-a sincere. Then I put an asterisk by that title.

So, my story “Collecting the Autographs of Pro Football’s Top Stars” won Miracle Monocle’s 2024 Award for Innovative Writing. Thanks so much to @miraclemonocle.bsky.social for publishing this weird thing I wrote alongside such great work.

Pick a movie/TV show, keep one actor, rest are Muppets:

Stand By Me, Kiefer Sutherland stays. (Wheaton deserves to stay, but I need Fozzie to deliver the line to Sutherland while holding the gun at the end.)

Melancholia, Kirsten Dunst as Justine stays

Thank you to everyone at Blue Mesa Review for publishing my story “Christian Kings and Stolen Cars” in their new (50th!) issue. Come for the great work by some really talented writers. Stay for my weird-ass story that includes the Norse goddess Frigg watching a John Mulaney special in bed.

Finished the audiobook version of Ball Four, and best part was hearing an aged Jim Bouton crack himself up telling stories about Joe Schultz. Related: Spent the entire fall-ball season fighting the impulse to tell the 9 y/o to “pound that Budweiser”
