Mike is one of the best writers I know, able to cover nasty subjects clearly and ruthlessly without straying away from his enormous heart. So much of himself went into this book. The bits I’ve had the pleasure of reading so far are illuminating, moving, and reflective — but never corny or stretched.
Hey folks, my first book is out in April! It's a narrative non-fiction account of five years of life in Berkeley Springs, WV after the "great replacement" fixated group VDARE bought a 19th century castle there.

Honestly I get a lot more joy out of book sharing and informing people about new facts, so you know what? Let's do a book thread. If you're a mutual and you want a non-fiction book recommendation, let me know in the replies. Helps if you also have a genre so I can narrow things down.

you tear up a bit when you hear The Big Man’s solo on Jungleland,

You reflexively hate the bully,
You won’t tolerate a liar,

all a bit esoteric and it's not exactly a messaging winner, but: america is a religion, and a proselytizing one. that's what being a creedal nation means. come to america, endorse the principles of the declaration and the constitution: congrats, you are an american.

A song by the Ukrainian folk quartet DakhaBrakha has become the soundtrack for the new American TV series Pluribus.
The track Sonnet was released back in 2020 and was included on DakhaBrakha's album "Alambari." For Pluribus, the band created a new, shorter version of the song.
