Just to show how broad my tastes are, I’ll leave it on this one. Bruce Hornsby is a phenomenal artist, and I could listen to him play all night long.

One time, years ago, somebody mentioned that the Catholic League was pissed about something and my dad said, “those assholes again?” I’ve never a known a mainstream Catholic who thought those guys were good for a damn thing.
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

Rural person here. I knew more gun owners in suburbia. Most folks who own guns in my neck of the woods are hunters. The image of gun owners in America has largely been shaped by pop culture.
The image of gun ownership in America has been white, rural and Republican, but that's been changing as more liberals and minorities have been buying guns, especially after the 2024 election.
More liberals, people of color and LGBTQ Americans say they're buying guns out of fear

I love how news sites like Huff Post will put out a headline, “[Insert celebrity name] destroys Donald Trump with one tweet,” and it’s not intended as a joke.

This is one of those books where the negative reader reviews almost convinces you it will be worth your time. In many ways, it’s a “warts and all” look at the Anglo-American partnership in WW2, and one that Americans would well to reflect on.

Dude doesn’t have to tell me. I fear (and occasionally loathe) the baseball god[s]. We are a mostly polytheistic faith tradition though.

Reading about the discord between US veterans who enlisted before 1863 and those who came after is a trip. In the 1890’s a very public debate erupted in the veteran press regarding whether men who enlisted after 1862 deserved full pensions because of enlistment bounties available to them.
