So I have reviewed the superb new @DavidMaraniss biography of Jim Thorpe - "Path Lit By Lightning" - for the The New York Times Sunday Book Review and it's online now even though it's Wednesday 🤷🏻‍♂️ nytimes.com/2022/08/10/boo…

From Douglas Brinkley Washington Post tribute to author David McCullough: “ C-SPAN interviewed McCullough 77 times”

One would, obviously, be the AUTHOR of the book on the cover of the The New York Times Sunday Bool Review, but being the reviewer ain't bad either. Congrats to @davidmaraniss on "Path Lit By Lightning"

On Steve Martin’s 77th birthday, here’s your reminder Mr. Martin and Gilda Radner once danced for more than three minutes in a ⁦Saturday Night Live - SNL⁩ sketch that hilariously and yet exquisitely paid tribute to Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in the 1953 MGM musical “The Band Wagon.”

Is America the greatest country in the world? Here's how Christopher Hitchens answered -- on C-SPAN April 22, 2009:

After listening to an excellent CSPAN BookNotes+ podcast featuring David Kertzer’s book THE POPE AT WAR, I knew I had to get it as soon as possible. Well, this want was fulfilled within 12 hours of listening to the interview. This is going to be one helluva read, methinks.

This is Winston. He went for his first-ever walk today. Also took his first-ever mid-walk nap today. 12/10 huge day all around

I love London. Where else does a modern-day German get to stand on a 20th-century bridge that replaced a Victorian Bridge that replaced a medieval bridge, photobombing a 19th-century bridge, a WWII war ship and a Norman castle with Tudor cupolas? 🤯🥰

So am I! Good stuff!

It is illegal to drive by cows in the Midwest and not say “COWS!”

I think I wasn't supposed to see this

The best thing about this Based in Lafayette reporting project concept is when subscribers tell people they read it and why. Thanks to CSPAN / Center for C-SPAN Scholarship & Engagement's Brian Lamb for the word of mouth last night with Mitch Daniels. (Lamb: "Subscribe today, I get 10%.")

When I see a response to one of my posts that frustrates me…the first thing I do is look in the mirror, because I am the one interpreting the words & making them mean something! How I feel & how I choose to interpret what I read is on me! #RecoveryPosse #EmotionalSobriety

I found a new hill to die on and it is that CSPAN should have full discretion of camera angles on the House and Senate floors every day of the year.

.CSPAN's #HouseSpeaker vote coverage is getting kudos. FYI: Our non-profit network doesn't get a dime of gov $$. Sadly, we're not avail to all pay TV customers, importantly YouTube TV and Hulu. Please help convince them to add C-SPAN to their lineups by liking and retweeting.

Feeling grateful. #RecoveryPosse
