definitely one of the more memorable people i ever got to interview, always so nice to be a fan of someone Famous & then realize that they’re actually just a kind guy who is so down to chat like a human being (and indulged me by letting me rave about Don’t Trust The B for like, 20 unbroken minutes)
James Van Der Beek was part of one of the most influential shows of a certain era, a show that loomed large to a certain generation of critics. Beyond that, he was talented, willing to poke fun at himself & seemed like a good man. Extremely sad news. Way, way too young. 💚 people.com/james-van-de...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

few weeks ago i was talking to someone with a ring camera and asked them why they felt the need to have it and in the process of explaining, it slowly occurred to them that they had no reason for it! and then they took it down and bought a normal doorbell. it is very easy to talk to people!!

I have questions. Firstly, what cut is Spotify keeping when someone buys a book through bookshop.org via its platform? The announcement says this "will directly support bookshops & the authors" but noticeably not that they will pass on 100% from purchases

I don't know how I feel about Spotify doing anything that involves scanning books, tbh.
I also have some deeply mixed feelings about this partnership with Bookshop.
