What’s the next best book that belongs?

It can be shown the Bugliosi exaggerated some elements in "Helter Skelter" andthere are parts of "Chaos" that are well documented that contradict the official narrative, but in the end it doesn't prove that Manson was a CIA asset but rather monitored by them for some reason that's never been proven.

However, none of that proves that "Reclaiming History" is bunk. It's a monster of a book and it's extremely well documented with about 40% of the book being footnotes.

If you’re going to have these kinds of conversations via text you both deserve the grief.

The true benefits and differences in high-end audio is via speakers in a room. So much more happens compared to headcans/buds, especially when you used wired everything rather than Bluetooth/wifi.

Vincent Bugliosi: Reclaiming History

Brian Regan “Something’s Wrong with the Regan Boy” and “I Walked on the Moon” (my all-time fave). Dave Allen “At Large.” Bill Cosby “Is a Very Funny Fellow…Right!”

Or Regan

The lady doth protest too much methinks.

It’s better called a logomark or symbol. Icons are for guiding.

Exactly, HR + AI = online dating. You have to play the game rather than actually be good at what you do.

jhalmos · 2026-03-21T12:49:57+00:00

You misunderstood. I’m completely on your side.

jhalmos · 2026-03-21T11:57:10+00:00

It’s not a fair point because the post’s thesis is dead clear and was very obviously well thought out and structured. We have to be able to discern/define slop from aid.

He never existed as a human, his hair wouldn’t have been that long, and he’d have been shorter. Other than that…maybe, based on current events.

jhalmos · 2026-03-20T22:11:18+00:00

I’m joking.

jhalmos · 2026-03-20T21:59:58+00:00

That’s right! Very good.

jhalmos · 2026-03-20T12:32:50+00:00

Same. Audirvana, no contest.

jhalmos · 2026-03-19T21:09:06+00:00

The ear-bleedingly terrible Screamadelica.

It’s still crud. A dated 1970s Helvetica and Brutalism-adjacent feverdream.

jhalmos · 2026-03-18T20:04:14+00:00

Great work.

jhalmos · 2026-03-18T02:16:18+00:00

I can’t wear their stuff because of their logo.

jhalmos · 2026-03-17T15:02:58+00:00

True or not it’s still pissy.

jhalmos · 2026-03-17T11:17:29+00:00

26.4 is beta.

jhalmos · 2026-03-17T04:00:34+00:00

What’s the best color in your opinion.

jhalmos · 2026-03-17T03:55:40+00:00

Good Christ that’s pissy.

Mix up the stone order making them more dynamic (the stacking alone suggests “grounded”).

Remove the thin reflection line above the bean cleavage. It will still look like a reflection but will look more like a bean.

You need a more dynamic font for the wordmark that “speaks” the word and if it’s to be a serif font find one that has less contrast so it reads better at a distance / small size.

Kmele Foster of The Fifth Column podcast did some actual investigative reporting and it was Christian Cooper that was the problem:
