“Gentlemen, for the first 60 feet, that was a hell of a pitch.” Warren Spahn, joking about allowing Willie Mays his first Major League hit, a home run.

Finally finished “Against the Machine” by Paul Kingsnorth. Overall, I think he’s right. But, wow, he goes full “crazy right-wing uncle” in a few spots. Multiple COVID rants. Nothing about the tech-supported rise of right-wing fascism.
