Watching: Bosch Legacy, Season 3
Bosch, for my money, is one of the best shows on TV. Legacy is the last season that Harry Bosch will be the main character, although he may be in the spinoffs as a side character. If you haven’t caught this, it’s on Amazon Prime. Watch this.
Reading: Careless People, Sarah Wynn-Williams
Memoir about life behind the scenes at Meta/Facebook. Here is your periodic reminder that Facebook was not invented for altruistic purposes, and Mark Zuckerberg has never done the right thing without being dragged to it.
Jamming: Tracy Chapman, Self titled.
There is no better time to listen to this album than RIGHT. NOW.
Podding: Amicus, with Dahlia Lithwick.
Dahlia Lithwick has been covering the Supreme Court forever. I trust what she has to say about the Court, and the law.
Working: I’m suffering from a bit of second thoughts about the video. I’ve scripted three separate versions of something ad aborted halfway through. So, taking another whack at it.

LINK: Justice Roberts Statement
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
So, you’re saying it’s settled law? That’s reassuring…
Fuck.

The Verbs: March 2025
Watching: Death In Paradise, BBC
With the new season starting to show up on BritBox, I decided to do a rewatch of the whole thing. Yes, it’s a cookie cutter kind of crime procedural, but it’s very British, very fish out of water, and very funny at times. In this day and age, it’s comfort food to keep my mind off of what’s going on in the world. You have to find bits of joy in things somewhere or you’ll go nuts. Here’s one of mine.
Reading: The Great Shark Hunt, Hunter S. ThompsonI’ve never watched Fear and Loathing. I did watch The Rum Diary, which got my curiosity up to actually read Hunter. Also, I grew up reading Doonesbury, and Uncle Duke is…well…yeah. Hunter reminds me of that guy who listens very carefully to everyone’s advice, and then does whatever he was going to do in the first place.
We’re talking about HUNTER. Not ROLEY, HUNTER.
Jamming: Who Let The Dogs Out, Lambrini GirlsHeard the song “Company Culture’ on Strombo, and sometimes you just need some thing that kicks your ass. I submit this for your gluteal destruction.
Podding: Reclaiming, Monica LewinskiYes, Monica Lewinski. If anyone knows about taking back the narrative of their life, I think she does. She has conversations with people who have dealt with some great difficulties, and how they did it. If you know me, it’s right up my alley.
Working: My goal for March is to make a video. It is not a TikTok or a reel, but a video. Horizontal storytelling is what we did in the pioneer times.
