I remember @rickperlstein leading a band of musicians through the aisles of the Brattle Theatre and out onto the street.

Happy George Scialabba Day to all who celebrate! This stirring event was ten years ago today.

Congress has approved $40 million for Trump's stupid "Garden of American Heroes." Another reason I've got TES. open.substack.com/pub/davedeniso…

A charming, if rather sad, story in The Baffler by Dave Denison about the decline of bowling in America. The tale is familiar to those of us subjected to Robert Putnam, but here it's actually about bowling and the writing is filled with life. thebaffler.com/salvos/changin…

Bowling is famously resistant to change. In our new issue, @DaveADenison wonders how long the sport can survive, as vulture capitalists buy up alleys around the country. thebaffler.com/salvos/changin…

Remember the long-lost Guerrilla Cookie, which was created by a @UWMadison alum and inspired many attempts at duplication? You can now buy the authentic item at select stores and online, with part of the proceeds benefiting conservation efforts. onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/the-return-of-…

@rbinhood2 omg. Probably not me -- I never knew the full recipe! Supposedly the recipe is found now, but we'll see.

@DaveADenison Great article on Ted Odell. I attended UW while Odell was baking and selling his cookies and frequently bought and enjoyed them. I went to the bakery one day and a fellow working there, possibly you, gave me the 800 lb. batch recipe, sadly, long since lost.

Our waiting issue is finally here. “Get in Line” features stories on the inevitable and the long-overdue: doomsdays and digital utopias, health care and political unity. They say patience is a virtue, but we’re on borrowed time. Start reading now. thebaffler.com/issues/no-76

@DomArmstrong @triofrancos Thanks, Dominic!

Outstanding article from @DaveADenison on Texas politics and political history. This part from @triofrancos is particularly good: “…Thea Riofrancos made the key distinction: ‘Right-wing populism prefers the masses atomized, individualized, and alienated from their political power, with their collective agency projected onto a leader and their ire misdirected away from the ruling class. Left-wing populism results from and reinforces bonds of solidarity among a historic bloc of the oppressed allied against a shared enemy.’”

From, @DaveADenison, on the future according to James David Vance: thebaffler.com/civilification…

"Is it maybe finally time that more people understand that Texas is not a 'red' state, but a nonvoting, gerrymandered-to-high-heaven state with loads of people who have progressive values?" jimhightower.substack.com/p/friday-signp…

Remember Guerilla Cookies, those hefty treats that became popular on the @UWMadison campus during the Vietnam-War era? If you’re one of the fans who lamented their demise, you’re in luck. Find out how you can once again get the cult-favorite snack. onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/the-return-of-…

They are not, as Trump and Vance want you to think, "illegals"!

If you really want to know what's going on with Haitian immigrants, read this. Pooja Bhatia, assisted by Emely Foe and Ella Matthews of @unitedforrights, explain the legal status of Haitian immigrants. thebaffler.com/outbursts/in-t…

Once upon a time, left populism flourished in Texas. Where did it go? And might it reemerge, in a state that has become a Republican stronghold? @daveadenison tries to find out. thebaffler.com/salvos/who-los…
