It's worth reading Mary McCarthy's 1986 review of Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale." Not for how she misjudges its achievement but more for what McCarthy, a brilliant writer and intellectual, couldn't see—and to judge how far America has come since then. #Skystorians archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford.
Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime.
Is it the fatherlessness in the White community?
Are they Inherently violent because of their race?
Or, is it the guns?
Sip it slowly. 🔥☕️
