Probably a niche read, but I’m thoroughly enjoying this offering from @baseballandlaw.bsky.social. Unfortunately, most of these HOFers are seldom discussed today. So far, my favorite essay has been about James Henry “Jim” O’Rourke (1850-1919). I think he and I would have gotten along just fine.

Current poetry read. It’s heavy. But oh so fabulous.

Possibly my favorite footnote of all time. I can hear Ozzy saying this…

A fascinating look at the demise of a once dominant company while also exploring the resurrection of one’s family history. @jwkropf.bsky.social blends business & local & personal histories into a stimulating narrative that encourages introspection. Change is the skeleton key to understanding.

Can a factory have a soul? This question has danced in my mind for years, @jwkropf.bsky.social. It’s a fantastic thought.

Thank you @ksupress.bsky.social! A wonderful box of treasure awaited me when I came home from work today. I don’t quite know where to begin!

Reading audible for these strange bedfellows.

Worth the couple hours it took to read. I actually found myself snickering at many of the passages. My favorite parts were the inner monologues of R2-D2.
