Who doesn’t like a pun? We’ll find out who, and what’s wrong with them. Join me LIVE NOW with NYT best seller James Geary, the master of aphorism, the literal author of Wit. How could that not be fun? open.substack.com/live-stream/...
I hate to hear AI read my stuff. So hear it how it's supposed to be. And get your ass to Selma.
Click document stats and run it and this will come up. All of the fields are helpful but I pay particular attention to the Flesch-Kincaid grade level. Keep it under 6.
Am I nuts to get bent out of shape about kids getting Bibles in schools? At a time when the president autographs them for cash and tells supporters he needs their $15 to further his unlikely bid to get into Heaven? Call me crazy. www.al.com/news/2025/09...

Long time coming. @kbeccaandrews.bsky.social, @johnhammontree.bsky.social and I are about to drop an 8-part podcast about serial bomber Eric Rudolph and the rise of Christian/white nationalism. We're excited about it. First episodes out July 30. Follow on Apple Podcasts to help us get it started.
If you have images in your head of Bloody Sunday in Selma, or the Selma-to-Montgomery march that ended at the State Capitol on this day 60 years ago, there’s a good chance they were formed through the lens of Spider Martin.
I'd say AI is the devil. But I'm pretty sure the devil can do basic math.
When MLK announced plans to make Selma a test for civil rights (he didn't march at Bloody Sunday) papers across the country ran headlines like this.
This from the Huntsville Time the day after Bloody Sunday. Sixty years ago tomorrow. It seems almost gleeful.
