Bookworm Beat 12/15/23: The very contextual illustrated edition
The leftist rot is getting fully exposed. It’s ugly to see, but still a wonderful thing. We “attention payers” always knew it was there, but now the rest of America sees it, too.

Bookworm Beat 12/8/23: The foreign, not domestic, illustrated edition
Bad times make for good memes, and we are experiencing some seriously bad times. I have so many memes that I’ve divided them between foreign and domestic. This is the foreign edition, which encompasses Israel, Hamas, Islam generally, Ireland, and even a touch of Africa. (You can see the domestic
