Christopher Hitchens delivers an anthem for free speech

Christopher Hitchens On Free Speech

The long-intertwined communities of the Oglala Lakota Pine Ridge Reservation and the bordering towns in Sheridan County, Nebraska, mark their histories in sensational incidents and quiet human connections, many recorded in detail here for the first time.

After covering racial unrest in the remote northwest corner of his home state of Nebraska in 1999, journalist Stew Magnuson returned four years later to consider the larger questions of its peoples, their paths, and the forces that separate them. Examining Raymond Yellow Thunder’s death at the hands of four White men in 1972, Magnuson looks deep into the past that gave rise to the tragedy. Situating long-ranging repercussions within 130 years of context, he also recounts the largely forgotten struggles of American Indian Movement activist Bob Yellow Bird and tells the story of Whiteclay, Nebraska, the controversial border hamlet that sold millions of cans of beer per year to the “dry” reservation.

Within this microcosm of cultural conflict, Magnuson explores the odds against community's power to transcend misunderstanding, alcoholism, prejudice, and violence.

"Like all good stories, The Death of Raymond Yellow Thunder spins against the way it drives. Even as the people of Sheridan County despise, scorn, exploit, assault, and kill one another, their lives, like objects slipping out of control, become more and more inseparable. Indians and Whites coexist and, against all odds, somehow get along, sharing space they really don’t want to share. This countercurrent is the source of the many unexpected stories Magnuson brings forth.” (Pekka Hämäläinen, author of Lakota America and The Comanche Empire)

A.A. Milne reads from Winnie-the-Pooh, 1929

Russia hits Ukraine homes, evacuates Kherson, warns of escalation, Boris Johnson drops out of race for U.K. Prime Minister, and Tennessee fans aid opponent whose family lost home in hurricane.

This Morning with Gordon Deal October 24, 2022

An honest reckoning with the war on terror, masculinity, and the violence of American hegemony abroad, at home, and on the psyche, from a veteran whose convictions came undone

When Lyle Jeremy Rubin first arrived at Marine Officer Candidates School, he was convinced that the “war on terror” was necessary to national security. He also subscribed to a strict code of manhood that military service conjured and perpetuated. Then he began to train and his worldview shattered. Honorably discharged five years later, Rubin returned to the United States with none of his beliefs, about himself or his country, intact. 

In Pain Is Weakness Leaving the Body, Rubin narrates his own undoing, the profound disillusionment that took hold of him on bases in the U.S. and Afghanistan. He both examines his own failings as a participant in a prescribed masculinity and the failings of American empire, examining the racialized and class hierarchies and culture of conquest that constitute the machinery of U.S. imperialism. The result is a searing analysis and the story of one man’s personal and political conversion, told in beautiful prose by an essayist, historian, and veteran transformed.

"Dear You : épisode 1" de Emily Blaine lu par Jessica Monceau ©Editions Audiolib.

Bienvenue au Peninsula, un palace de rêve au cœur de la ville qui ne dort jamais. C’est là qu’officie Kathleen, dont la mission, en tant qu’hôtesse d’accueil, est de satisfaire toutes les demandes de ses prestigieux clients. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, elle est transparente – mais pas pour Andrew Blake. Dès son arrivée à l’hôtel, ce magnat de la presse, secret et extrêmement charismatique, semble s’intéresser de très près à Kat. Depuis qu’elle occupe ce poste, c’est la première fois qu’on la remarque. Si elle se sent d’abord flattée, très vite, cette attention soudaine la déstabilise. Il faut dire que les exigences de son nouveau client sont plutôt troublantes…

Matt Giroveanu, Rachel Bouton, and Kiki Mikkelson improvise a love song in Vern’s Audible special, "A Very Improvised Holiday Musical".  The prompt for the special was to create a new holiday on the spot, and the live audience chose “pickles” as the celebratory food, “periwinkle and maroon” as the holiday’s colors, and “the poop emoji” as the sacred symbol (Oh, millennials). But the resulting musical is surprisingly sweet.

THE CLOCK TICK TOCK
TICKING ON MY WALL
SHOWING ME THE TIME
NEVER STOPS AT ALL
TICKING AWAY
TICKING NIGHT AND DAY
THE SOUND OF THE CLOCK-TICK TOCK

TIME GOES TOO FAST
TIME WILL NOT SLOW DOWN
THE WORLD IS TURNING
AND SPINNING AROUND
THE CLOCK TICK TOCK
TICKING ON MY WALL
IT WILL NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL

I WISH IT WOULD STOP
TICKING SO FAST
AT LEAST SLOW DOWN
AND TAKE ME TO THE PAST
I'D LIKE TO REVERSE IT
IF ONLY I COULD
NOTHING I CAN DO
THE CLOCK-TICK TOCK
