Laterals is officially out in the world today. You can buy it here, or buy it wherever you buy books online, or request it from your local library. I’ll reply to this post with some poems from it.

I was unaware that the Hawks had a game the night before this so yes, the Hawks playing at noon isn’t realistic either. Muting this now.
(of course when the two teams have different ownership groups & it’s the Hawks home arena, they’re not just going to give up the prime time slot for the greater good because that would make them less money)
damn he only makes $1.2 million for playing a football game
🚨🚨THIS IS AWFUL🚨🚨
#Saints star WR Chris Olave could face a MASSIVE tax bill because New Orleans is playing in Paris this week.
Illustrative taxes on ~$2.21 MILLION of income:
🇫🇷 France: ~$997,000
🇺🇸 Federal: ~$820,000 — potentially offset by a foreign tax credit
Combined French and federal tax bill with a full federal credit under this calculation: ~$997,000.
Olave would keep: ~$1.22 MILLION before state, local and payroll taxes.
Under this calculation, 45% of the allocated income would go to French taxes.
THIS SUCKS…
lot of literary journals probably intrigued by Rubio saying “who wants to discretely partner with the CIA”
“We don’t ride bicycles in Iowa” is one of the craziest things anyone has ever said. I have never seen more people ride bicycles than I have seen in Iowa. The brewery industry only exists because of the bike trails.
Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Iowa hosts RAGBRAI, the world's largest multi-day bike tour since 1973 with thousands of riders yearly. Iowa also has extensive bike trails and lanes.

This dude is flying a private plane to transport his kids and I’m over here struggling to pay for gas..
We are not the same..
You’re tracking the location of my minor children. I’m not on the flights.
Example: today, while I was in Winterset, Red Oak, and Sidney the plane went to pick up my kids.
@RobSandIA has given permission for his supporters to track my children.
As I’ve said it’s despicable.
relevant words I wrote that apply to tonight’s game

I find myself falling into that old familiar destructive pattern. (Obsessively playing McDonalds Monopoly)
My strongest NFL/politics take is that all linebackers should be socialists.
An answer that won’t come up in the discussion because he doesn’t have a book yet but I think needs to be in the discussion: @amhcrane87
