Three words to open:
American Bacon tonight.

Join us at the beautiful The Reading Room bar + bookstore in Brainerd for an engaging, thoughtful and funny conversation among friends: one is a scholar (Dr. Mark Johnson) and the other isn't.
Mark's just released his newest book: American Bacon. It's thick, every page with stories about the roles bacon has played in American history. Stunt food, soul food, gender, class, colonialism to 20th-century industrial to pop culture. And much more.
We'll chat among the bookshelves, answering questions and talking with you, our beloved community.
Join us at 6:30 pm tonight. No tickets required.
On your drive over, here's a new podcast we're promoting:
Good Dirt: Southern Farmers and Their Search for Land.

Chapin Montague and Mattie Sienknecht are talking with regional farmers about the ongoing search for land in the South. The first episode's out and opens with the doozy we keep repeating: Tennessee is third in the nation for farmland loss.

This Sunday, we'll send you part two of our "Trouble with Claude" discussion on AI. Part one generated some good response, especially the kit-and-caboodle line about shutting the whole thing down.
Anybody want to share the ways they're going analog? Killing the machine? Unplugging?
Last night, I yanked Instagram off my phone. Ten pounds lighter, just like that.
Hope everyone's well. See you Sunday, or maybe, tonight!
