The ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, taken in the late 18th century, overlooking a stretch Lebanon. It has been emblazoned with the 1970s-era logo for the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Before it stands a figure taken from an early 1900s illustrated bible, depicting a Hebrew priest making an offering to the golden calf at the foot of Mt Sinai. The priest's head has been replaced with the head of Milton Friedman. The calf has been adorned with a golden top-hat and a radiating halo of white light.

I wish I could attend one of your readings. The quote about what your parents taught you of resistance resonated with me, because that's how I've always felt. I appreciate your efforts, Cory.

I listened to your interview with Robert Evans last night. It was pleasant and quite engaging to actually hear you.

@Chrisblue not on this one. I am already going to 31 cities + all I can do to make it to those, adding more at this point would mean missing my month of cancer treatment in January.

Uhm, is something wrong on MY end or YOURS..?

first time seeing this weird notice (brave browser on intel windows 11 laptop).

Strange notice for pluralistic.net given by my browser that says: "Misdirected Request- The client needs a new connection for this request as the requested host name does not match the Server Name Indication (SNI) in use for this connection.".
