I do like to include Bagel Hole on lists like this to highlight variety. And weird that there's basically nothing in South Brooklyn. That's gonna cause some big feelings.

I've defintiely gone back and found similar emails I wrote and they'd require Bondi-level redactions in order to post in public.

As I say on the show, you'd be hard pressed to come up with one story to better reveal the social and political swirl of early 20th century America. Race, class, religion, urban/rural, women's rights... it's all in there. Along with prohies, bootleggers, and rum-runners.

It's funny - I hear people on the right kinda dismiss elite liberals as "wishing it was 2020 again" (Vance does this) but I kinda think maga misses 2020 more than anyone else...

Oh, yeah, I just mean that there's going to be a lot of pushback/grumbling/problems (already has) and they'll be replaced bsky.app/profile/bigr...
Or do you mean they won't last the year from like, a political/policy perspective? 😅
