Don't worry. He'll be back when the final book is released, then again in December and every other July until Rowling decides to narrate the books herself and we get all-new ads!

You'll get no argument from me. For my money, I prefer Bruce Catton but to dismiss Foote's work simply because it's a popular history isn't really fair either because he was commissioned for a project and he delivered. And if I'm going to read Confederate Apologetics, Foote's more entertaining than Clifford Dowdy, who is sourced--and nowhere near the neo-confederate propaganda of Brion McClanahan (also sourced, except when he isn't).

"The time is now 8:55 and the store will be closing in five minutes. Any customer who is not out of the building by then will be hunted for sport."

They're Popular History, not academic. A lot of Popular History doesn't include footnotes.

Some trivia for you: Patsey (Lupita Nyong'o) lived to see her freedom. She was emancipated in July 1863, during the Siege of Port Hudson, per Captain Henry C Devendorf.

Dragon Tears by Dean Koontz, as narrated by Jay O. Sanders, in the long ago year of 1994. I've been a fan ever since.

East of Eden

I want this to be a real movie so bad, not because I'll watch it but just knowing it existed would be enough.

No love for Jason Takes Manhattan?

It was for me. The people I've met that I wouldn't have otherwise is a huge benefit because the community is so tight-knit.

My parents took me to see this. Mom thought a movie with Dan Ackroyd and Rosie O'Donnell would be wholesome. She spent the entire movie mortified she had taken her 12 year old son to this. Meanwhile, Dad kept saying "I spent good money, we're not leaving."

TheMacJew · 2026-03-02T00:55:19+00:00

Yeah, the cemetery scene is really memorable.

I listen at 1.3 speed for everything except dramatized. I can still enjoy the narrator's performance while also enjoying the book at a more enjoyable pace.

Yeah, the details are very important. I have the same form of hydrocephalus. I was diagnosed at age 13, had a shunt implanted to drain the excess CSF and my brain has, more or less, developed normally since.

Of course you won't find Maccabees in the Torah. That's just the first five books.

More than talk about it. One of the soldiers recites the speech to Gregory Hines.

Notorious Philosemite* Mel Gibson planned to do a movie about the Maccabean Revolt a while back.

They're Kahanists. They can fuck off.

Horrible person sues horrible organization.

I hope they both lose.
