Holy shit, this is good

I guess we have to do this, right? A whole lot of nose-holding going forward! Anyway, here's a short interview with Allan "13 Keys" Lichtman, who is inclined toward Biden being re-elected right now: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/26/allan-lichtman-prediction-presidential-election I th...

I know other forums have the option to have specific sub forums be for registered members (or full members vs new members or whatever). I don't know how much of a PIA that would be for Inder to turn the downloads/request line subforum into a members only forum or whatever, but I would support that o...

On the subject of novels, has any artist/musician actually ever written a novel that is even half decent? I tried both Steve Earle and Nick Caves efforts and did not get far with either.
