America is a high school class holding a Socratic seminar, but 1/3 of the kids didn’t read the text & are screaming over everyone else, 1/3 only kind of read it & are like, β€œthey have some points,” and 1/3 read it and took notes and are like β€œWTF?”

And the teacher has dementia.

One thing people should definitely not do is call the ICE tip line and give them the addresses of known Magas and report them for harboring illegals and drink iced tea with sunglasses on while masked federal agents kick in their doors at 3am.

Nic Pizzolatto’s debut novel is a glimpse into what led to True Detective S1. He knows the TX/Louisiana gulf coast and captures its seedy side like no one before or since. #booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™

We’re fully Griswolding. In-laws arrive, we’re troubleshooting mice, oven goes out while prepping dinner, next morningβ€”sewage backed up in the basement which happens to be the kids’ playroom where they go to give us any peace. Now headed to the river for an overnight, what could possibly go wrong?!
