A colleague’s request sent me into the have-read section of our library looking for a tome, and I discovered I still have Alinsky on the shelf. Totally forgot I still owned it; haven’t opened the book since it was assigned in college. I’ve been carting it around unopened for thirty years.

These are so good! I figure you’re probably done doing new ones, but here is our Emmy, a rescue shepherd from Texas on a hike in Wisconsin, her adoptive home.

Government computers are infamously out of date. Maybe there’s still a machine in the EOP that can run Print Shop off 5-1/4” floppies.

Alternate history novel idea: What if Pope Pius IX had accepted the U.S. Navy’s offer to sail him to exile during the Roman Revolution of 1849? Pre Civil War America, but the Pope lives in Boston.

Unpopular opinion: The Red Sox should wear green, not blue. Also they should wear more red, on account of the name, but the second color should be complementary green, not Yankees-lookalike navy.

Name a team you root for because of their uniforms. For me, it’s the San Francisco 49ers and the Vegas Golden Knights.

I love when teams have sufficiently clashing home kits to wear them against each other no matter who is hosting.

It had the symbol on the right of this sign. A whole wall of signs showing increasingly obscure weapon icons with the red circle and slash over them.

And ghosts don’t directly act on the physical world beyond minor haunts. Avenging ghost JFK has to work his way into the psyches of living people and get them to act in way that bring about the downfall of suspected killers and their accomplices.

Avenging ghost JFK has to murder everyone. Every mobster. The whole CIA and FBI. Castro and Khrushchev, he’s coming for you. Area 51 is in his sights. Young George HW Bush, look out. LBJ, your hippie long hair won’t protect you.

Story idea: The angry spirit of JFK comes back to exact revenge. Except it takes ghosts a while to fully manifest, and by the time avenging ghost JFK is ready to start a-murdering, it’s the early 1970s and conspiracy culture is fully underway and literally everyone is part of an alleged plot. 🪡

So many great choices, but this is the one I’ve listened to most often. No dis on career-defining albums from Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Madonna, Janet Jackson, UB40, heck even Don Henley, this is the one that spent the most time in my Walkman for the subsequent decade.

I seem to have missed this, but apparently at some point in the last few decades they started making Predator movies where the Predator species are the heroes and the movies are from their POV. I am not OK with this.
