Finally finished the four-book Lonesome Dove series today, having started it at the end of the summer. Totally worth it.

The party of Reagan doesn’t exist anymore. They’re now the party of Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and QAnon. The alt-right absorbed the right in much the same way Al Qaeda radicalizes their recruits. Prettyy sickening to watch, honestly.
Just released an update to the Spain materials. If you purchased it in the past, you should have an email to get this update for free - let me know if you didn't get it. Lots of new native speakers, and a native voice for all of the practice words and sentences. Felices Fiestas

If you let any story cut through all the Twitter noise today, please let it be this:
At least six local news websites across Alabama and Florida have been secretly taking payments from power companies to run stories attacking clean energy + other policies

Just returning from "finishing" my Texas native speaker recordings, with over 100 different Texans in the collection now from all over the state. Working on an update, which you'll get for free if you've purchased it previously. Thus endeth my Lonesome Dove roadtrip.
I don't trust Musk and his degree of malicious self-interest, so I won't be on here except for very rare occasions. Reach out through my email via the website if you need me.

With this Twitter thing maybe changing considerably.
a question I am asking:
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Arizona is at the epicenter of many key issues. It is also a beacon for those who believe the last election was stolen or fraudulent. In this excerpt, we sat down with Arizona’s attorney general Mark Brnovich. Watch the full interview starting October 28 on @AppleTVPlus
Two shows opened in the last week, so I'm back down to two. Not complaining. Just trying to re-learn a lesson about saying No.
For the next week, I'm now juggling four shows. Get me through October, and I'm down to two. I'm burned... out...
Just finished Comanche Moon, book 2 of the series. Loved it, @sailert ! It was fascinating how it matured even as they did. About to start Lonesome Dove...
