Last Night in the Museum

Belle evening, mortals! Thank ye for joining us in the Past-Hoard last night. Among the remnants of Empire, ‘twas a nice reminder that all empires fall! If ye missed our chatty evening—if ye missed our sponsored message from America, if ye missed Cynthia’s incredible new segment “Hexless or Sexless”—then exit through the gift-hoard into the replay, right here!

In these dire times, I cherish each week the time we spend on the air, & with the chance to see jokes & perspectives from our audience of worldly mortals! & being so dire, the times must urgently be understood. Head to thine own local book-hoard & read some of these, to better assess the shattering of the American empire:

• The Jakarta Method, by Vincent Bevins

• Overthrow & The Brothers, by Steven Kinzer

• The Shock Doctrine, by Naomi Klein

• Blood in the Machine, by Bryan Merchant

• Black Against Empire, by Joshua Bloom & Waldo E. Martin, Jr.

‘Tis only a start, of course—thy book-hoards & past-hoards hold much more! But these five work wonders on mortal minds.

I endeavor to minimize the amount of pluggery in these dispatches, BUT: on Sunday, a mortal man who looks much like me, shall appear with our friends at Radio Free Multiverse to raise monies for immigrant children & their families:

MUCH TALENT, for a most excellent cause!

Thank ye for reading, mortals! & we thank humbly all those who support our works here with coin!

I shall write ye Monday with fresh art & a tale! ‘Til then—be safe, be well, & remember, someday all empires wind up in the past-hoard...

Cheers,
Amœnus Franco
