Guitar shop going out of business. Have I played any of the many stringed instruments I already own in ages? Obvs no. So, anyway, here’s my new vintage parlor guitar w/mostly easily fixable surface damage. And I didn’t bring home a kitten from the rescue next door. Financially sound decisions FTW.

REM really led me to overestimate how fine I’d feel at the end of the world. I’m glad I saw what was left of Mendenhall Glacier when I had the chance.

Officials in Alaska are warning that ice melt from a glacier high above the capital of Juneau could pose a threat to homes and businesses in the inundation zone.

The godmother of punk Patti Smith met Pope Leo XIV this morning.

Glen Hansard was one of the greats. Kind of surprising (to Amanda, at least) that we haven’t talked about The Frames or The Swell Season yet. But we have talked about The Commitments. Thank you for the music, Glen. #musicpodcast thecoverupcast.com/085-try-a-li...

WELCOME TO SCHISM WATCH 2026 WITH CLAIRE

Do not kill your inner Karen, white ladies. Aim her at injustice.

"It's just sports," "It will only affect a few people," & "It'll also be used against cis women" are, IMHO, all equally not-great takes on today's SCOTUS ruling, just different angles. The Supreme Court ruled it's okay to discriminate against a certain class of people. Full stop. That is a horror.
