I'm seeing a lot of people sharing 5 American authors they admire. What about 5 American novels?
My choices would perhaps be:
- Moby-Dick (Melville)
- East of Eden (Steinbeck)
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Twain)
- The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald)
- The House of the Seven Gables (Hawthorne)
- The Sound and the Fury (Faulkner)
Yes, I can count, but I couldn't leave Faulkner out of the list.
Imagine how many children wouldn't have been sexually assaulted if Trump hadn't pardoned the J6'rs and left them in jail. Every day another one is arrested for raping kids.
Paul Newman. 12 pack of beer a day for decades. Chained smoked. No morning routine. No supplements. No sun gazing. No fasting. No ice baths. No journaling. Lived artistically and handsome to the ripe old age of 83.

Peak soccer in the US was the 2000s-2010s.
Its popularity was driven by a) Hispanic immigrants and b) millennial hipsters.
The hipsters are almost all gone and other American professional leagues made a strong play for Hispanic fans (especially the NFL and MLB).
A diabolical act. But rape is too light a word to describe what happened. ( not to make light of the act of rape here) But this poor soul was the victim of the most heinous and barbaric slow gruesome death. Think Vlad the Impaler! That was what killed this man. Inserting an Iron rod through the rectum and forcing it upwards until it pierced through his bowls. He even had a punctured lung. The barbarity of such an act is beyond sadism and this brave soul who suffered such a horrendous fate inside this torture camp is not the only person to have done so.

do you see what happens when you stop gatekeeping big creative opportunities from young creators ?
The orthopedic doctor mentioned in the interview was Dr. Adnan al-Bursh. He died in April 2024 after enduring months of torture and sexual abuse and rape in an israeli concentration camp following his abduction.
More than two years later, israel still holds his body hostage and refuses to return it to his family.
Something Dr. Nick Maynard forgot to mention in the interview:
Dr. al-Bursh repeatedly relocated to treat patients as Israeli terrorist forces besieged and raided Gaza's medical facilities. He moved from Al-Shifa to the Indonesian Hospital, and finally to Al-Awda Hospital, where he was abducted by Israel in December 2023.
Finding out John Wilkes Booth was basically like "The Rock" of his generation in terms of stardom makes everything about the assassination so unserious
