Great post about Trump by The Onion
Great line on the next pope from Andy Borowitz
My first college newspaper book review
I wrote for the Pitt News during my junior and senior years (1973-1975). My first article was a review of Thomas McGuane’s NInety-Two in the Shade on September 21, 1973. My memories of the book are more positive than the review was and I recommend it and McGuane’s work in general.
I saw McGuane in person in a bookstore in Washington, DC in 1989 when he was signing his current book Keep the Change.
Here’s my recollection of our conversation as he signed Ninety-Two in the Shade:
Me: This was the first book I reviewed for my college paper.
McGuane: That makes me feel old.
Me: Me, too.

It’s going to be hard to rebuild the agencies Trump is crushing
The people are gone. The money is gone. The buildings are gone. Nobody will want to work for a place that could be eliminated again. What happens to the records? I bet the Trump cult members destroy the paper and computer copies so they can’t be used in the future
Poor job by the Washington Post and CNN on posts about ex-presidents criticizing Trump
They left out all the times Trump has criticized the ex-presidents. I wrote them both back on BlueSky. The post article does talk about Trump’s bad remarks but it’s way down in the story. It should be in the post, too.
Here’s the Post and my similar reply:
Sad!
