OK OK I know we all hate the corporatization of philanthropy etc. etc. but I can't help but to remind everyone this #givingtuesday that you can donate $$ to your favorite University Presses just as you can with any other nonprofit. So consider showing your local UP some love?

Mike Bloomfield writing about Bob Dylan in Hit Parader, June 1968

"He's always scribbling little things on paper. His brain is so alive. You can almost see electricity pulsing out of his eyes. I sure would like to be his friend again."

My book about how Americans have remembered, forgotten, and manipulated the history of George Washington and slavery over the past 250 years comes out in April. And Titus Kaphar’s art makes it the one of the coolest covers you’ll see next year. uncpress.org/978146969352...

So Peter Thiel is qualified to comment on what is being said by God’s supposed personal emissary here on earth? That’s not how this works, pal.

Favorite musical performance in a #FilmNoir ~ IDA LUPINO has a very unique style playing piano and singing One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) in ROAD HOUSE (1948)

After Ida sings, Celeste Holm says
"She does more without a voice than anybody I've ever heard"

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

The best look at the Nuzzi book so far, and I doubt it will be equaled by anyone. Essential reading.

Ok, however much you've thought about this Nuzzi business, I promise I've thought about it more.

This. This all day.
Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

Just an alert. I know nothing else about this but I want to look into it.
We’ve got page proofs. Time for one final, close read of this thing and then it’s out of my hands forever.

6. Coolest Film Noir Character:
"Acme Bookshop Proprietress" (the character has no name) played by Dorothy Malone in THE BIG SLEEP. Nerdy, educated, smart, up for being part of a PI's adventure, sexy, great banter, and VERY helpful. Her screen time:viewer impact ratio is huge. #NoirvemberChallenge
