This article reads like a Pynchon novel. Every paragraph is a gem. Waiting for RFK to replace flu shots with Ferelala powder. “Take the Shame off me!” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/w...

So thrilled to be in this issue of @barrelhouse.bsky.social again. Never thought Alito would be a source of inspiration but great art comes from low places sometimes! Check it out!

Have a new essay on here about Haydn, Joplin and failing at piano lessons when I was seven. Great issue.

How about them Buckeyes!

From Cheever’s “Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor.” Great story.

Watching those old Tyson highlights, I think about how amazing it was when Buster Douglas beat Tyson. I worked with his brother later on at St. Stephen’s Community Center in Linden and sometimes he’d wear the championship ring to work because he helped train Buster.
