We are but academicians for the working day: politics, comics, movies, art, war, and other stuff too. Chicagoan trapped in MAGA Cackalackey. Posts mine alone.
Oh, a pipeline to Alaska and Texas. There you have it. Checkmate, libs! No one knows construction like Donnie Tee from Queens knows construction. Just look at the job he's done on the Reflecting Pool!
As long as we accept that Basques, for purposes of the World Cup, count as "Spanish"
Having just finished a huge biography of Francisco Franco, I'm especially delighted that the game-winning core of Spain's World Cup team is made up of Basques and Catalans

Harding College did the same thing PragerU does - and with better propaganda and better propaganda talent (like Bill Melendez, Maurice Noble, and Frank Tashlin) - 80 years ago.
About all I can ever remember about men's tailoring is Paul Fussell's acerbic discussion of what he called "the prole gap" between the jacket and the shirt collar. I read that book when it was released in 1983, and I've never forgotten that part.
Bruh, it ain't that hard. Gobsmacking that anyone ever thought Yglesias had anything worthwhile to say.
Kind of hate-watching this. Story's intriguing but the music and the vibe are all wrong; they're both late-40s, but the era is early-30s. And Cage is way too old to be a WW1 veteran. #comics #spidernoir
Check out "The Nun and the Sergeant" (1962), a low-budget Korean War flick & a dead-ringer source for "Dozen": rule-breaker takes 12 convicts on a do-or-die mission, including the Mexican guy, the psycho Bible guy, the gentle giant guy, and the black guy guy. Even has the same actor, Robert Webber.
Also the Times, probably: "Mr. Sutton's activities blurred the line between passbook savings account withdrawals and felonious conduct."
There's something painfully appropriate about a Trump sign in an Appalachian pawn shop window.
—History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.
I know that Matthew Rhys is Welsh, but I'd love to hear him read Joyce for #Bloomsday. There's something about his voice that I feel lends itself perfectly to "Dubliners."
