The November issue of @theatlantic.com, on “The Unfinished Revolution” is fantastic. Essays and features by Stacy Schiff, Ken Burns, Rick Atkinson, and Caity Weaver, to name just a few. You’ll wanna read it cover to cover. Good stuff.

So, I reported the MeetUp account that's scamming writers -- by asking them to participate in their gigantic book clubs, then charging them $100 for promotion and other stuff -- and you'll be glad to know that MeetUp is totally cool with the scammers continuing to operate on their platform.

Anyone else get this alert from the NYT -- saying that "Trump Calls on Republicans to End Filibuster in Shutdown Fight" (and therefore admitting that Republicans own the shutdown -- only to click on it and find there is NO STORY? Even at the NYT homepage, there's no sign of it.

I love this Halloween display: it’s the mascots of the schools who defected from the Mountain West Conference, ready to be roasted.

Mayor, city council, soil and water district, and a bunch of bond issues on the ballot in Albuquerque. No issue is too small for your attention and your vote.

Very, very nice. A win over the coach that left us after one season, and it wasn’t even close. Jason Eck’s Lobos are feeling like the real deal.🐺

God, not you, too, @vanityfair.com. Stop with this faux oblivious head-scratching. We all know what the "unspecified brown sludge" was. Use your words.

I’m very excited to have been asked to read and blurb this. Also slightly envious, as this is a subject I would’ve LOVED to have written about!

For one thing, it just *feels* completely different from the care they took during the "Truman Renovation" of the White House from 1948 to 1952, when they treated the project more like an archaeological dig than a brute force demolition.

It’s not often you have a shot at getting Lobo Louie and Lobo Lucy together. I was so excited, I forgot to Lobo Up.

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
