    Oklahoma City Bombing and controversy with Richard Booth

    I remember everything about the day the OKC bombing happened. I also remember thinking I "had it right" when I figured it was "domestic terror," but I know now that the story is far more complex. The reason we know this is because of the work of folks we talk about today with my guest Richard Booth (@booth_okc). He joins me today to discuss his research and address some recent drama in the OKC research community.  CITATIONS Richard's extensive OKC archive Aberration in the Heartland of the Real, by Wendy Painter Oklahoma City: What the Investigation Missed—and Why It Still Matters, by Andrew Gumbel & Roger Charles Nuts & Boltzmann, Substack by Boltzmann Booty

    Covid conformity, culture war, trauma, and living chronic

    Time for The Left to play catch-up on Covid. Some are leading the way while others continue to disappoint. Appealing to authority is not a good look for the The Left. Also, a philosophy major tells me I had a wrongthink.
