My first book, The Recursive Frontier, technically came out (from @SUNYPress) last week, but I delayed posting about until my author copies arrived so I could do an obligatory unboxing photo. It's (mostly) a multiethnic literary history of Los Angeles between the '30s and '50s.

The thing about Nancy Pelosi is that she is to her very core a hater. One of the few truly great haters in contemporary US politics. An LBJ-level hater. I have to respect this.
Purely anecdotal but driving around NC over the past month i saw a lot of small signs saying things like “TRUMP low taxes / HARRIS high taxes” and as dishonest as that may be I’m struck by Democrats’ inability to condense and simplify a message, any message, comparably.
