Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

one thing I can confidently say about the American healthcare system is that no one, not a single person, nobody, wants a system that involves more paperwork, more onus for negotiation placed on the end user, more time spent on the phone with healthcare representatives, and more "shopping around"

for those closely following my butt-dialed fantasy football team the fact that Dak Prescott just hit Jake Ferguson for a TD has gone a long way to sending me to a butt-dialed record of 8-2
um my butt-dialed fantasy football team is now 5-1 and in first place
