I'm dropping so much money for some more of these notebooks. I've written two books and multiple magazine features with them in recent years. The paper is very slightly green and the pages are finely-lined. The 8x10 scale feels right. National "Boardroom."

Buster Bluth calls Michael. Buster looks nervous, Michael, eyes closed, dismayed. Buster says, "Hey, brother. You know how you asked me to book the Four Seasons?" Michael sighs and asks, "what happened?" Reference to the infamous Four Seasons Landscaping press conference.

Dust jacket for John Broich White Supremacy: A Short History
“Historians rarely offer such a thorough and powerfully accurateaccount of white supremacy in a digestible and succinct text as JohnBroich has written. Broich succeeds in taking readers through ajourney over the centuries of racial thinking, drawing their attentionto the horrors of white violence and debilitating proliferation ofwhite supremacist ideology within the United States and Europe.Highly recommended.”Tommy Curry, author of Another White Man’s Burden“John Broich expertly distills a vast literature on race, slavery, andimperialism into a brisk and bracing narrative which is impossibleto ignore. White Supremacy is a wide-ranging, highly readable, andimpressively concise account of the toxic idea which continues todistort our world.”Nicholas Guyatt, author of Bind Us Apart: How Enlightened AmericansInvented Racial Segregation“This is an excellent and much needed book. It is a wonderfulantidote to the raft of popular works on racism that concentrateon contemporary dynamics in a particular country, with onlycursory historical perspectives. John Broich argues passionatelythat ‘white supremacy’ is a historical global category that was, andis, contingent, and can, therefore, be dismantled.”James Renton, editor of Islamophobia and

My university's prez has shared this letter from the dept of education that reads like your MAGA uncle at Thanksgiving. It claims that schools are rife with anti-white discrimination and that there'll be consequences (for fed grants) in 14 days if things aren't rectified. www.ed.gov/media/docume...
Educational institutions have toxically indoctrinated students with the false premise
that the United States is built upon “systemic and structural racism” and advanced
discriminatory policies and practices. Proponents of these discriminatory practices have
attempted to further justify them—particularly during the last four years—under the
banner of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (“DEI”), smuggling racial stereotypes and
explicit race-consciousness into everyday training, programming, and discipline.
