📚  I am dreaming of a posthumous Booked Up interview with Hannah Arendt in which I say to her, “Hey, remember that thing you wrote about the banality of evil? Well, Hannah, you’re not going to believe this shit.”

@jentaub Of course, "Charlie Pierce" is just another handle used by Congressman Santos. That's how this complementary puff piece got published. (This is a test. Do the users of the large extinct mammal service here recognize snark or will any reactions be more aviary-service like?)
