Saturday Updates

Happy Guy Fawkes Day to Stroock's Books British readers. If you want to blow up parliament right now, we understand.*

We voted yesterday, as we'll be on a plane Tuesday morning bound for Disney World. Cool machine. You insert a ballot, press the buttons for your candidate and the machine prints the candidate's name on your ballot. You check to make sure everything is right and press vote. Voila. 

In comments the leader of this blog's Confederate Contingent wrote 'now the South while not perfect is way better than any northern city in race realation[s].' The Jew has always had a home in the south, my grandmother did. Here's Jewish Hill Cemetery, Natches, Mississippi. 

We can't say if Jews feel unsafe walking the streets of Atlanta, or Charlotte, or Nashville, but we can say Jews feel unsafe walking the streets of New York City. Which is amazing. Take it away, Newsweek. By the way, the FBI has arrested the individual making threats against New Jersey Jews yesterday, but has not released his name. So we're just gonna make certain assumptions here.

Exit question: these companies cancelling their deals with Kanye and Kyrie, isn't that Cancel Culture?

The Things. Or Thing, really.

We await the cover completion of The Salvation of 1976. We are not 100% pleased with our people. We weren't pleased with our people  last time. The devil you know, as they say. 

We spent the week slogging through World War 1990: The Final Storm. As always, Georgia was our focus this week, specifically the Battle of the Roki Tunnel. We are almost done with this round. We've made the chapter better, we can say that, and we can see how we can make it better still. To put it another way, we feel like we're on track. 

Yesterday we tweeted this:

20 years ago I was following election news and polls via an niche website recommended by @kausmickey called @RealClearNews. That's how I knew Norm Coleman was going to win in Minnesota. @TomBevanRCP @SeanTrende

The above mentioned Tom Bevan, RCP co-proprietor, retweeted and away we went. Our tweet got 4994 impressions, 174 engagements, 127 profile visits and 25 detail expands. Sales are down this morning. Marketing is hard.

*Dear humorless internet hall monitors: this is a bit of humor, so over the top that it becomes farce. This blog does not now, nor has it ever endorsed blowing up parliament or any other legislative body.
