Man, what a great fuckin’ read. Thanks for writing. I’d totally forgotten about that era Pink.

You think it’ll work? I mean, CA is solid blue, right? And has been for a minute.

Here’s a good, brief explainer for some context:

Dobbs is a rank amateur at anti-Semitism.

My guy.

Noah Baumbach’s “Kicking and Screaming” never gets any love. That was a good early flick of his.

Reads a bit like an excerpt from a Rick Bass book. Well done.

You are doing God’s work, Roth.

Gettin’ dark in here. Your post reminded me of this Bukowski poem:

True.

Glad you had a good time. If you want something easier, cheaper, and more fun, go check out any indie shows in your area. The cast of characters are usually very interesting, both inside the ring and in the crowd. Plus, you can usually enjoy decent food and beers and you’re a lot closer to/have a clearer view of the…
