For you longtime Former Clarity heads, you may remember the medical issues I wrote about six years ago. Well, they're back. But it's okay, because I mostly wrote about the Seattle Mariners instead.

It's happening again

I'm having surgery in nine days. But, more importantly, the Seattle Mariners.

I've been trying to think of a caption for this all day – such a trivial and stupid part of sharing your work that changes how many people see it or click.

But I can't be quick and witty when the truth is my brain is doing backflips because I'm so happy Grizzly Bear are back and they seem happy

Grizzly Bear Are Back and Want to Play the Deep Cuts

Ahead of their first tour in six years, Daniel Rossen and Chris Taylor discuss the unspoken hiatus, lasting impact, and anticipated live return of their venerated indie rock band.

Please note that the things Mills is most mad about—false calls, and his officers being exposed to chemical weapons—have nothing to do with the feds attacking protesters. He's perfectly happy to have ISP do that instead so long as his guys are unbothered.

Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said ICE agents are draining the resources of his department and the community by making false 911 calls. He has demanded ICE turn over the names of all federal officers involved in each incident, and said he is ready to take ICE to court.

I listen to @see-saw.fun’s Punk This Week podcast on the way to therapy each week and I just want to say:

Evan and @ninacorcoran.bsky.social, don’t ever be self conscious about these long intro conversations. It’s like driving with friends!

an episode of PUNK THIS WEEK for the sickos. I recorded in Memphis mid-Gonerfest, @ninacorcoran.bsky.social post-Turnstile gig. a 30-minute intro with a lot of psychological Kermit reckoning. the hoarsest voice. you can hear some outstanding punk records take me from "four hours of sleep" to "lfg."

If no, stand united with the rest of us

If yes, stand with Evan, who is lonely and needs a friend on that confounding side
