The 16th is the birthday of both Enoch Powell and Katharine Graham. It's looking more and more like Jeff Bezos has decided to emulate the former.

Last one for today. Jeanne Carstensen's "A Greek Tragedy" focuses on a singular moment in time from multiple perspectives, but it becomes a larger story about the people and families that risk everything for a better life.

If you don't fall in love with Alex Nino after seeing this, I am not sure what else I can do to make that happen.

A factory farm in New Jersey becomes the location for a story that is about America itself. It's also got more than a touch of King Lear.

Veteran, fireman, #trucker, and #transportation educator Thom Bray explains the difficulties in creating a #truck driver for America's highways. He is also a genuine #StarWars fan whose Fandom is in danger of revocation, because he has not seen #Andor season 2.

Parades only work under two conditions. 1. Planned within an inch of their life by ferociously motivated professionals. Or... 2. As spontaneous eruptions of communal emotions. Since neither happened in DC yesterday, it felt like a broken bullhorn in an empty amphitheater.

Got a chance to talk with Gray Man author Mark Greaney recently. This time, we just talked about writing about restaurants, dance clubs, and restaurants... with bullets flying.

I promised you a joyful muscular mess of an interview with @juliansimpson.bsky.social, and since I am a member of The Department of Works, I deliver.

We'll be dropping our wide-ranging, muscular mess interview with @juliansimpson.bsky.social tomorrow. #Lovecraft, #Godfather, thoughts on AI, and not remembering screenplay titles by Harold "weasel under the coffee table" Pinter.

I am very proud of this interview. Micah Larsen explains the mission of #TAT (truckers against trafficking) with stories both harrowing and uplifting.

#ShadesforMigraines

Let me make it very clear. A #Nola donut shop opening at 5 AM across the street from the studio is probably not the best thing for my health plans.

And we're off and running!

Yes, in fact, it is named after me.

I take long #weirdwalks to remind myself there is a better country inside us all.

Tomorrow morning, we focus on #trucking, but Tuesday-Friday, it's as much about making a life as it is about making a living. Late in life, I'm becoming a riverboat gambler. #RGR #Nemonation #radionemo

I walk every day. Between 8,000-12,000 steps. It's #Nola, so I see a lot of strange shit. I am going to start calling it #TheWeirdWalk.

Sorry I am not following all the great goings on of all my talented friends. But I am in the middle of a great adventure of my own. It got a little more real today. We're launching the new website later today and setting up the studio for our first live show next Monday.

You wanna hear me talk about #trucks? I make no apologies, I love #diesel engines.

Watching The Last Starfighter with my mom and 8-year-old nephew. Always thought it was a bad script It aint. Lead is just too old. Fix that (and one silly scene where the adults get excited about the video game), you got yourself a movie. It's directed by Nick Castle, Michael Myers himself.

Five favorite black and white films. 1. My Darling Clementine 2. 8 1/2 3. Citizen Kane 4. They Were Expendable 5. Kiss Me Deadly Once again, I reserve the right to change my mind in the next five minutes.
