If you know me, then you know I’m not exactly a huge fan of Hamilton Nolan or the snide Online Left that former Gawker-types like him helped to foment. That said, he’s not wrong about how the GameStop stocks squeeze isn’t the populist revolt that Twitter and Reddit think it is, and I appreciate the effort to get that point across even though my dude might as well scream at a wall. At this stage, “Meme stocks” is “Stop the Steal” for Leftists. Not the violent insurrection part, of course, but the locked-in narrative that will never change despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. (In These Times)

Happy Black History Month! Bonnie picked up The Compton Cowboys by Walter Thompson-Hernandez because she was curious when she heard about Black cowboys in an urban setting. "It’s more accurate to call this book an ethnography than a history, because it delves more closely into the culture, members, traditions, and conflicts than the history of the group (although origins are alluded to)." What stories from Black history do you wish were better known? (Cannonball Read 13)
