Laterals is officially out in the world today. You can buy it here, or buy it wherever you buy books online, or request it from your local library. I’ll reply to this post with some poems from it.

one of my friends from Boy Scouts is having ChatGPT generate all his Facebook posts but also he seems happier than he has in like twenty years so I just haven’t called him out for it
Republicans in Iowa really shot themselves in the foot by not just nominating Feenstra.
🚨 FINAL DEBATE TONIGHT
Zach Lahn will lie about anything to win. We won't let him.
We’ve got the receipts (LahnLies.com) and we’re fact-checking him live. Follow along. 👇 #IAGov #GovDebate
really hard to argue against this as the best rock song of the century imo
👑 #1 - @YYYs' "Maps"
"Though New York art-punk trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs are often celebrated for their off-the-wall energy, it’s a quieter moment that became the band’s most-enduring song."

I was unaware that the Hawks had a game the night before this so yes, the Hawks playing at noon isn’t realistic either. Muting this now.
(of course when the two teams have different ownership groups & it’s the Hawks home arena, they’re not just going to give up the prime time slot for the greater good because that would make them less money)
damn he only makes $1.2 million for playing a football game
🚨🚨THIS IS AWFUL🚨🚨
#Saints star WR Chris Olave could face a MASSIVE tax bill because New Orleans is playing in Paris this week.
Illustrative taxes on ~$2.21 MILLION of income:
🇫🇷 France: ~$997,000
🇺🇸 Federal: ~$820,000 — potentially offset by a foreign tax credit
Combined French and federal tax bill with a full federal credit under this calculation: ~$997,000.
Olave would keep: ~$1.22 MILLION before state, local and payroll taxes.
Under this calculation, 45% of the allocated income would go to French taxes.
THIS SUCKS…
lot of literary journals probably intrigued by Rubio saying “who wants to discretely partner with the CIA”
“We don’t ride bicycles in Iowa” is one of the craziest things anyone has ever said. I have never seen more people ride bicycles than I have seen in Iowa. The brewery industry only exists because of the bike trails.
Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Iowa hosts RAGBRAI, the world's largest multi-day bike tour since 1973 with thousands of riders yearly. Iowa also has extensive bike trails and lanes.

This dude is flying a private plane to transport his kids and I’m over here struggling to pay for gas..
We are not the same..
You’re tracking the location of my minor children. I’m not on the flights.
Example: today, while I was in Winterset, Red Oak, and Sidney the plane went to pick up my kids.
@RobSandIA has given permission for his supporters to track my children.
As I’ve said it’s despicable.
relevant words I wrote that apply to tonight’s game
