I am *so* excited for this book!!! Finally, shipping 12/1. Laura isn’t on social media so I have assumed the PR role — buy this book! I’ve been reading these stories for years and it’s the most compelling political science stuff I’ve ever read. Also Laura painted the cover art!

Reading through my Dad’s copy of Old Richard’s Almanack and digging it.
“A rich rogue, is like a fat hog, who never does good // til as dead as a log.”
“…not worth a farto.” Great stuff here.

My Dad died yesterday. At home, with his 3 kids and his wife of 52 years. Exactly where he wanted to be.
I wanted to share a bit of something @mikecaulfield.bsky.social wrote to him a few days ago. I'm impossible to understand without my Dad, but especially in his approach to politics (and life).

My Dad’s Dad died when my Dad was 6. He’s a mystery to me in most ways except for the fact that I look just like him.
