Will see him next week!

David Sedaris on the Wonders of Dallas Dry Cleaning

Where he's found his books shelved and where he heads for ice cream in Dallas.

"Our conversation was wide-ranging, including his thoughts on being a gay man visiting red states like Texas, the wonders of Dallas dry cleaning, and the odd places he’s found his book."

Continued thread

The moral legacy of SMU football 🏈

Long before the ‘death penalty,’ Mustangs were pioneers for equality

SMU’s deliberate sabotage of anti-Black segregation defines its moral leadership & was a powerful factor in why SMU students attended the March at Selma in support of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965. This was also foundational to King’s decision to visit SMU’s McFarlin Auditorium in 1966.

Interview With Peter Gent, Author Of "North Dallas Forty" 1973 🏈

"I think all of pro football is a classic metaphor for
America & the problems we're facing: the refusal to look at things the way they really are, the constant insistence on having a Pollyanna view of where America's heading."

"We have to move into a society of cooperation away from one of competition. There's no room for that runaway competition anymore."

#CollegeFootball #ACC

Just checked the box score & #Cal came from behind 21-10 in the 4th quarter to beat #Stanford 21-24 in the #BigGame at #MemorialStadium in #Berkeley earlier today.☺️

Must a been very exciting for those #CalBears fans who were able to watch the game at the stadium or on #Fubo which did NOT include me. ☹️

The win reportedly guarantees the #Bears a #BowlGame spot with just a 6-6 record if they lose to #SMU next week.

The #Niners should be so lucky. 🤷

Go Bears!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
