Old Emails
I can’t sleep, so I’ve been reading old emails from my CMU account. Like this one to an ex-girlfriend, freshman year, circa 2002:
“Merry Christmas, yo. I had to get my sister a tori amos cd for Christmas and it was weird because she’s not you or a dyke.”
Young love, everybody. Another girl would send me messages about Jesus, circa 2003.

NPR: Scientology Fact Checked →
Erni referred me to tonight’s Fresh Air interview with Lawrence Wright, the author of the New Yorker cover story from my last post. Check it out.
“Wright tells Fresh Air’s Terry Gross about the detailed fact-checking process his article went through — The New Yorker assigned five fact checkers to the story and sent the Church of Scientology 971 fact-checking queries before...
