First 2 paras of Chapter 17 mentions Streamlining as in Streamliner train, Hoovervilles (shanty towns)

Enjoying every sentence in Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon set in 1932.
There’s a lot of American slang.

Chapter 16 - … Union Station …
Rain in Chicago today, a downbeat hush. Yard bulls in slickers moving among the gaunt steel monsters, rain brightened rails, treacherous footing.

Congratulations to #TeamUSA #MensHockey on a great win and a great game.

isn't this a Dark Souls boss?

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

“I’ve got to check out six of those Supreme Court justices’ mortgages. I know mortgage fraud when I sniff it.” — extreme alcohol enthusiast Jeanine Pirro

Criminals, all of them. Including those in the White House.

"Doctor Who: The Mind of Evil" episode 4. #DoctorWho

Jeffrey Epstein helped fuel the campus culture wars The academics in the Epstein files aren’t all criminals, but they shared beliefs about whose work matters.

Take a load off your minds everyone, it was regular old misogyny the whole time

Refs have put whistles away. Finns holding constantly in the defensive zone

Epstein files could be just tip of the iceberg for Andrew investigation It is likely we have only seen the tip of the iceberg compared to what the police have seen.

Detectives investigating Andrew have asked the FBI and DOJ for unredacted copies of the Epstein Files, via the National Crime Agency.

Q: Hakeem Jeffries has called you a 'wannabe king'

TRUMP: I call him a low IQ---

the right really hates it when you call their planned concentration camps "concentration camps." their whole program works only if you make migrants into a scary mass of undocumented criminals coming for white families. its a lot harder when you humanize it. keep it up.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump does NOT have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs — delivering a major blow to Trump’s sweeping “emergency” tariff regime.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Yes! And it can't come soon enough!

So..... how's YOUR week going so far?

What $70 million in taxpayer money buys: a private luxury jet for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around on.

And we’re supposed to believe it’s used for deporting undocumented immigrants.

Tesla claimed to have completed the “world’s first autonomous delivery of a car”

The stock got a bump. And then — nothing.

If you claim to have solved autonomy, can autonomously deliver vehicles from your factory, and claim that it is more efficient, why wouldn’t you keep doing it?

Nailed it.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill kicks 15 million Americans off their health insurance & Republicans made it worse by letting ACA tax credits expire. At Young & Healthy in Pasadena, I met with community leaders working overtime to help families stay covered as Republican health care cuts send premiums soaring.
