There is nothing scarier than an Irish turnip demon. I'm going to try to do something like this on large oblong gourd (bigger than a turnip, but not a pumpkin) and put the righteous fear in Halloween this year.

Some nerd trivia. Marilyn Hagerty, the Grand Forks, North Dakota food critic whose Olive Garden review went viral in 2011, was born exactly two days before Norma Jeane Baker, who would later adopt the name of Marilyn Monroe. I'm a fan of both Marilyns, for the record.

Social media is almost literally the opposite of real organizing. It reinforces all the tendencies that make movements fail and steals the energy that should go into productive action

Cracker Barrel’s new logo slammed by Sardar Biglari’s Steak n Shake
Steak n Shake bashed Cracker Barrel for its logo change. But it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Steak n Shake’s boss has been a longtime Cracker Barrel critic.
