Just in case you didn’t already have “assault on a free press” marked off on your bingo card this term.

Finished: Straws and Prayer-Books, by James Branch Cabell 📚. This is one of the later volumes in the massive Biography of Manuel, and it’s a commentary on why writers write with only incidental reflections on the Biography itself.

These people can’t even keep their message straight for 24 hours 10 minutes. How anyone can believe they will be credible negotiators for their bragged-about “90 trade deals in 90 days” is beyond me.
