I ate goat for the first time, it was spicy and delicious. Because a family from India immigrated to my town and opened a restaurant, blessing us with their food and hospitality. And all the xenophobic simpletons in their MAGA hats that populate this area like lice can die bored for all I care.
What’s left of my goat vindaloo

Eoin Higgins’ new book is impossible for me to put down (metaphorically speaking, I’m audiobooking). If you dislike people like Matt Taibbi and Glen Greenwald this is for you. If you don’t know why you shouldn’t like people like Matt Taibbi and Glen Greenwald, this book is especially for you.

A novelty belt buckle with the W.C. Fields quote “Dazzle ‘Em With Brilliance or Baffle ‘Em With Bullshit” on it, polished silver lettering over a blue background.  People staring at my crotch will be greatly amused, (but for a new, less sad reason)
