Relatively quick work from the grocery store "oh lord how do we make them keep buying lettuce" department here.
I was saying this about the NPR public editor throwing the esteemed (?) Ms Totenberg under the bus on Tuesday.
Oh man, this seems like those posts that lawyers make when a judge tears someone a new one.

Attn: Book nerds who are in Chicago, My wife and I are pleased to again be at the Chicago Book and Paper Faire. It's at Plumber's Hall in the West Loop, and runs until 5pm. First person to DM gets free entry (spend the $10 on books). We have great stuff, as do our fellow dealers. Parking on site!
Question answered, and about damn time! The book is more than 30 years old fer chrissakes and it took this long!?

@edsbs.bsky.social and @hollyanderson.bsky.social I have been peer pressured, as a Matt, to donate. $51 (jersey#) plus fees to waste no further breath on Pat Fitzgerald, who doesn't know ball. Tasked with being telegenic and winning ANY bowl game, he instead went with being a garbage human being.
Say @lansingmifacts.com, were you aware that this Sunday there will be a very good used/rare/ antiquarian book show at a very bad hotel with a very adequate event space? It's true! Cheap to enter, so you have more to spend on BOOOOOOKS. 9:30 to 5, be there or don't get any books! Do not book a room!
How about this? Sadly it is an unhinged self help/entrepreneurship deal from the 80s. But hey it was 2 bucks and has this cover? Also, SIGNED by the author.
Ah the Midwest (which to be clear I'm almost always in but this is turned up to 11. Note the last option).
Our step cat has some dislikes that include all but one human and, now, insulin shots.
I mean I assume people have seen all the same dumb memes I have, but just in case...
Trust me on this, and pardon the shitty pic, but live from Milwaukee's Summerfest, its Oates!
