Colonial History

The City of San Francisco is now boycotting most of the United States. What seemed like a noble expression of values has limited where and from whom it can buy the stuff it needs to function. Read this very good/very funny story by @EskSF. https://missionlocal.org/2022/03/san-francisco-is-now-boycotting-most-of-the-united-states/

Great story! I was just reading City of Quartz and was riveted by the stuff on dingbats (because of course I was) and only wanted more. Thank you! https://t.co/axdiSMHVh0

Also, this scene from "So I Married an Axe Murderer" captures the "reporter who makes inappropriate jokes about death" archetype pretty well. Is that even a thing anymore? I used to work with someone who mocked recent deaths and it was equal cringe/funny. https://t.co/szXlUAzjxv https://t.co/Sf2JtpcjBG

Happy pub day to my friend and former colleague, @Herring_NBA. His first book, Blood in the Garden, is a rollicking tale about the 1990s Knicks – teams that never won it all but were the Forrest Gump of that era's basketball, if Forrest Gump started fights. Buy! Buy! Buy! https://t.co/39KWYqiNXH
