Interesting story of how the occupation shifted old alliances.

Truly. Absolute losers. Part of what I loved about One Battle After Another: they may win, but they will always be empty losers.

The Real Story Behind 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' How this book was written is as strange as the novel itself

A book I hadn't thought about in a long time, but Gioia makes me wonder -- as he often does -- if I should pay more attention. Strange to me that I didn't know this was written in my Minneapolis. We don't claim it ...

Surely the book I've re-read the most. And the more I re-read it, the more the cities fade and the dialogues takes over.

Raped is the term you are looking for.

Borges’ father encouraged his son to pay close attention to soldiers, churches, priests, and butcher shops. They would soon to disappear, and one day Georgie could tell his own children he’d actually seen them.

So many Borges stories!

A worthwhile read about the choices we control, and how to resist the world-weary pleasure knowing and describing defeat.

They were girls, not underaged women. And these are concentration camps, not warehouses for immigrants.

How to resist like Minneapolis Meet the block, shop the indies, and check on your people.

Which is insane, of course. And which raises the question: how much it will cost to rebuild, and where that money will come from? How many small businesses ruined? How many people took out predatory loans because they couldn't work? That the Mpls Fdn has raised a $3.5M rebuild fun is a joke.

Horrible indeed. Perfect, of course, that Bezos broke through as an online bookseller.

In Minnesota we’re talking about being terrorized by the federal government.

As a Minnesotan, I expect @klobuchar.senate.gov to lead congressional efforts to abolish ICE. If she can, I’m open to governor talk. If that work fails, we need someone else who can protect our state.

"It's believed to be the first time a local police department in Minnesota intervened in a federal law enforcement action since the surge in immigration enforcement began two months ago."

About time!

And Trump declared the only restraint on him is his own morality. Or was it mortality?
