Not a book to read if chicken nuggets play a large role in your diet. Alternatively, a very important book to read if you're interested in learning more about the contemporary meatpacking industry, the horrors of covid-era factory conditions, and the resilience of working people.

Tariffs are a tax on consumers. Today's example: prom dresses. There are a lot of pissed off teenagers right now, including the one in this household.

A second-place finisher for the Mark Lynton History Prize and grateful for this generous commendation from the jury.
I'll let the winner announce her own award, but suffice to say, there are few better or more-deserving people in our profession... so, three cheers!
