I love Adam Mastroianni’s Substack newsletter “Experimental History”, one of many great Substack newsletters that I’d miss if I wasn’t on Substack because it’s a “Nazi bar” (as a friend noted recently — is it really a Nazi bar if you’ve never actually seen a Nazi there?)

The Decline of Deviance is a typical Mastroianni post and it’s excellent, as always.

I don’t understand “Dubai chocolate”. I mean it’s not bad but the cost is ridiculous.

Between the crazy Bears come-from-behind win last night against the Packers, and Detroit’s absolute collapse tonight against the Steelers, the Bears clinched the NFC North tonight and a trip to the playoffs. What a turn around from the last several seasons!
