The movie of Train Dreams has softened it up even more than the movie of All the Pretty Horses. They softball the hell out if the most important event in the story! Kudos to Will Patton for surviving the reading of the original and also narrating the Disney field version.

A recent essay, “The Great Feminization,” posits that the growing influence of women is harming U.S. institutions. Sophie Gilbert argues that the real problem facing American culture is quite different: https://theatln.tc/kUfY14fc

Let's not forget @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, without whom no one would know about Jeffrey Epstein. She has never gotten the full credit she deserves. If you don't read her book, you don't know the story.

The Most Overlooked Value of Political Protest
Small acts of staying quiet may seem merely polite or indifferent, but they can easily spiral.

This, in a nutshell, is what most stands out to me about the last three years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade: Conservatives desperate to codify a worldview that women actively oppose.

By day and night he wrongs me, every hour
He flashes into one gross crime or other
That sets us all at odds. I’ll not endure it.
His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us
On every trifle.

DAD: What should we name the baby?

MOM: Well we want him to cover the Civil War for the New York Herald so I was thinking “Sylvanus Cadwallader.”

DAD: But will he LOOK like his name is that?
