Mon: Ripped from the pages of a George Pelecanos novel

Wed: What do I say when I don’t have much to say?
Thurs: “Women Respond to Nobel Laureate’s ‘Trouble With Girls’”
Fri: This sentence by Thomas Mallon would make Barry N. Malzberg spin in his grave, except that he’s still alive so it would just make him spin in his retirement
Sat: If you leave your datasets sitting out on the counter, they get moldy
Sun: Spam!
Will you be posting your coments on these 2 subject?
Wed: Ta-Nehisi Coates, David Brooks, and the “street code” of journalism
Thurs: Flamebait: “Mathiness” in economics and political science
Bruce:

It’s obviously a satisfaction to defer David Brooks.
