I would also have accepted “Skrewdriver CD”.

I would pay for some appropriately-named channel that only showed footage of foxes going about their daily lives. Those little guys are fascinating!

The New Jim Crow is worth your time. Alexander’s approach is generally sociological, basing her argument on statistical and legal analysis. There’s a lot of foundation-building by documentation, but it’s important to the argument, and I think you’ll find it both readable and compelling.

But no one tells Stephen Miller to turn the volume down on his Burzum CD ...
