Can anyone recommend a history of the Spanish Revolution and its aftermath? The events have been overshadowed by WWII to the extent that I hadn't heard about it in history classes and only learned about it from fiction novels.

Haunting.

I got a couple of great books over the holidays: Clariel by Garth Nix, Flood Of Fire by Amitav Ghosh, The Slynx by Tatyana Tolstaya, and Catch-22 (which replaces my old copy that was eaten by a friend I'd lent it to). I've read a few pages of each, but I'm holding off until I'm through Roadside Picnic, Satantango, and…

Reporting from the non-black woman's point of view: about what you'd expect. Loud whispers. I got spat on once by a black teenaged girl. Cops who pulled us over always seemed to think I was a prostitute. We were warned not to go into certain white, blue-collar neighborhoods together. But my then-boyfriend's family…

My abortion came in the mail, but I never received my death panel. Is there someone I can contact to fix this issue?

Finally! I was really hoping AVC would give Tyrus an obit. I never knew about him or his influence before his death was reported in NYT. Maybe a bit late to say this, but he was really a spectacular human.

Sorry for making you sorry :( It's just so hard to tell these days.

I'm not saying there aren't things the federal government could do. Sensible gun laws would be just swell. Otherwise guys will just trek one state over to Indiana, fill a duffel bag with handguns at a gun show, and sell to gangs in the city. Somehow I don't think this is the administration that's going to get tough on…

Thanks! My year just got better.

Yeeeeeeees! And they explain why stuff works. I credit that show with teaching me how to cook.

Also takes the focus away from police/judicial system reforms that NEED to happen.

And here I was hoping for a taco-tank delivery system. Sure, there are bound to be bugs to work out, but think of the possibilities!

People who have never interacted with minorities in any meaningful way absolutely will believe that. Sure, stop-and-frisk or whatever Cheetoh Benito considers "federal help" would have an impact in terms of reducing gun violence short term, but it exacerbates the mistrust between civilians and police.

The Politics Corner is up. You may have to refresh.

It should also be mentioned that the murder rate, though the highest it's been in over a decade, is not a record.

Where… where can I get this?

I'd like increased musical exchange with the rest of the world in general. And I'd like it not to be called "world music". Too often Spotify steers me back to stuff they already know I like. In fact, if the AV Club wanted to do a semi-regular feature on notable albums from around the world, I wouldn't object. (If…

Blonde, weak and unassertive?
