AKA things Castellanos will hit a home run to punctuate.

Today I get to interview someone who was on Taskmaster UK. First question: how often do you get asked about being on taskmaster.

my father, the first college graduate in his family, just completed his PhD at 80!!! He will spend the rest of his of his life being called Doctor by his smartass family during dinner disputes. I am tremendously proud of him. ❤️

visiting my folks in chicago because dad is walking for his PhD and in the guest bedroom is the most dad t shirt i have ever seen.

90 and humid? let me put on some tweed!

This is no doubt a bad movie but Anne's right, there are several holy shit laugh out loud moments courtesy of Orlando Bloom, who is carrying this thing.

The House just passed a bill to take back vital public media funding. But hundreds of thousands spoke out – and with more action ahead, it’s no time to back down. Make your voice heard now. Reach out to your Senators now and urge them to protect public media: bit.ly/4n5sRBY #ProtectMyPublicMedia

They are not “clawing back” anything; and as far as taking funding for public media is concerned, that will hurt local, rural communities (the demographic the GOP falsely claims to represent!) far more than it hurts suburban and urban populations. @petersagal.bsky.social has been writing on this.

To my fellow listener supported radio lovers - looking at you @wxpnfm.bsky.social & @chirpradio.org fans - @djjohnrichards.bsky.social is doing a 27 hour marathon radio session on KEXP.org to bring awareness to current administrations cuts and how it effects public media. Check it out!

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

This is why you should not let me write, edit, produce, schedule and host a show on my own.

man, what a voice. the sound of the angry masses. RIP Douglas. youtu.be/NdzcqeAOF10?...

It is with a heavy heart that we regret to inform that Douglas McCarthy passed away this morning of June 11th, 2025. We ask everyone to please be respectful of Douglas, his wife, and family in this difficult time. We appreciate your understanding and will share more information soon.

I've found most of life's problems (including the systemic defunding of public media) can be solved by a zero heat run with the eris rail in hades.

man, i love Philadelphia.

can i compare thee to a rockafire explosion?

It's always great talking with Patterson Hood who returns to the Cafe with his first solo record in 13 years. Patterson joins the Cafe's Kallao @kallao.bsky.social to chat about his new solo record Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams. www.npr.org/2025/06/05/1...

This is a big day for couples that are one super online person and one normal

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

more batshit games about mundanity. youtu.be/t11z-8K_9ik?...

the government is trying to silence me.

When I say I will make you sound as good as possible in post, best believe I mean it.
