Random question but what is the best thing to read as a primer on contemporary Polish politics?

Not really, except maybe in epilogue.

"80 million jobs were added in june, very nice very nice. 300 million jobs added in july, even better. but this month mr president, 2 billion jobs were added," I confidently declare, doing the easiest job in the world so i can own a home in a walkable neighborhood

Same here. Anyone who has any slight memory of the tedium and frustration of doing footnotes on a typewriter (even a selectric) isn't gonna glaze over too much doing them manually on PC word processor app.

Co-incided with that small, short harbinger of (sort of) avant garde possibility on network tv.

On August 1st, 1921, Sid Hatfield and Ed Chambers were assassinated on the McDowell County, WV courthouse steps by Baldwin-Felts detectives in apparent retaliation for their role in the "Matewan Massacre" 439 days earlier.

Laura Palmer’s House Jeffrey Epstein, Twin Peaks, and dreams of justice.

The world has been wrong ever since David Bowie died, and David Lynch was barely holding it together. This essay by Sarah Kendzior gets it and recognizes that the Epstein saga is more a horror story than a political scandal. open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

One of the best things my parents did for me was buying me comics BEFORE I was functionally literate (they later learned to regret it 1x I COULD read). This was one of the 1st covers I recall.

Heel, down Ian Williams, Tom Scocca, Josephine Riesman, and Maria Bustillos on the passing of Hulk Hogan

I fell asleep before it went live but here's my eulogy for Hulk Hogan. Only it's not entirely about Hogan, but about us.
