In one instance, a Wisconsin sausage maker commissioned a huge outdoor sculpture designed along the lines of Indiana’s “LOVE,” but this one said BRAT. Aides insisted the aging Indiana had created it, but acknowledged that a picture sent to the sausage company showing Indiana at a drafting table with the design in front of him might have been photoshopped.

A male freshman said “girls expected” to be choked and, even though he didn’t want to do it, refusing would make him seem like a “simp.”

It is convenient for American sports stadiums that when it comes time for redevelopment, they can just put the new stadium in the acres of parking that surrounds the current stadium.

Politics started making more sense to me when I started thinking of it as locally powerful people (Republicans) vs nationally powerful people (Democrats)

Forever – is composed of Nows – (690)

BY EMILY DICKINSON

Forever – is composed of Nows –

‘Tis not a different time –

Except for Infiniteness –

And Latitude of Home –

From this – experienced Here –

Remove the Dates – to These –

Let Months dissolve in further Months –

And Years – exhale in Years –

Without Debate – or Pause –

Or Celebrated Days –

No different Our Years would be

From Anno Dominies –

"What isn’t said enough is that rural whites are being told to blame all the wrong people for their very real problems. As we argue in the book, Hollywood liberals didn’t destroy the family farm, college professors didn’t move manufacturing jobs overseas, immigrants didn’t pour opioids into rural communities, and critical race theory didn’t close hundreds of rural hospitals. When Republican politicians and the conservative media tell rural whites to aim their anger at those targets, it’s so they won’t ask why the people they keep electing haven’t done anything to improve life in their communities."
