Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

With James Franklin hired at Virginia Tech, Michigan State has about a week to make a decision on Jonathan Smith. If they don't fire him after the game this weekend, he needs to stay in place for next year. You're going to miss out on too many good options if you wait until the end of the year.

Since the invention of the politician there has been a desire to make it look like the public is all but forcing a candidate to run b/c that person is the only one who can save them. But recently there has been a huge wave of “my wife said I can’t turn my back on the people!” It’s so insufferable.

There are more red states in this country than blue. There is significantly more square miles controlled by red states than blue. The implicit acknowledgment here is it’s better to live in a blue state than a red state.

Learned today from @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social and @celebrityhottub.bsky.social that the top two teams in blood are also the top two teams in stadium alcohol sales, according to @mattbrown.bsky.social. Real chicken or the egg situation.

Just a reminder, both of these clowns are in Fort Wayne today. If there is a place to protest them, just point me in that direction. I'll bring the donuts.

I think what upsets me about that Jonathan Taylor touchdown is he did the thing that every person watching a football game for just the second time ever yells. “Just run away from that big pile! It’s wide open outside!”
