Cultural things. One of my favorite soul books is the one i wrote, being lunatic farmer and that one kind of really describes the difference in our farming compared to the average. Tell us about your farm. We are in Virginia Valley and we are in pastured livestock, think about tyson chicken houses and factories, so our animals are out on pasture and they move every day or every couple of days, they go where they want . No, they are controlled with hightech electric fencing, we can be thankful for hightech electric fencing so we can mimic choreography of migration times and steer them around the landscape to get the benefit that nature offered for long time before, you know, before domestic livestock were the norm. What are those benefits . Well, in america, for example, you know, the big herds of bison built the deep soils of the prairies and where we live and the valley of virginia, kept it moving, native americans lit fires to attract them and to open up, you know, grazing areas and

I like to say the Television Critic has become more like a book critic in that there is so much sifting rather than attempting to cover everything, but it is fantastic work in the television is a great excuse to write about everything because tv is the nervous system of america and it reflects whatever people are interested in or obsessed with. I write about sitcoms and reality tv and the circumstances were right. A pretty vast field. How much time do you spend with the networks as opposed to amazon, who lou etc. . The old traditional networks, part of the subject of the book, a vast drop through that content ocean and it used to be every fall, three or four networks would release the shows they were going to premiere the coming season, that is what we were concerned and Fall Television is one thing among many, so much on amazon. Hbo, showtime, basic cable, premium cable. What we used to think of as tv is a tiny amount of what constitutes television and a lot of television is not on wh

Bress is neither a California Attorney nor a california resident. In fact, hes not been a resident of the state for over a decade. Hes lived and practiced in the washington, d.

We know our state, we know our constituents, and we know the challenges they face, and thats why the blue slip is so important. Honoring the blue slip ensures that the senators who understand are and are accountable to their constituents have a say in judicial nominations for their home states. Our blue slips, senator harris and mine, were not returned. Ultimately that symbolizes our objections. I was very disappointed that t
