When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.

New from me: Eight victims’ families now have some semblance of an answer. Shannan Gilbert’s family does not…. She remains the case’s first and last great unsolved mystery.

E172 is up with journalist & author @robsondan. We talk about his latest co-authored memoir,
Hammered: The Fight of My Life by Dave “The Hammer” Schultz. It’s a candid piece by a hockey great. Terrific convo, give a listen: bit.ly/4b09EgG
Thank you so much, Dan!

Yesterday I wrote that Timothée Chalamet should’ve won the #Oscar last year for A Complete Unknown. I put my head on the pillow last night & woke up this morning and realized how wrong I was. Colman Domingo moved mountains in Sing Sing last year. This man - not Chalamet, not Brody- deserved the award.
Sing Sing deserves to be seen by many more people. If you haven’t had an opportunity to see this film, you should try to watch. I cried my ass off because this is a film that reminds us all that art & self expression can help save a person’s life. These are the sort of stories & performances that stay with you forever.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
