June 2024
1. Cover - This month's cover was intended to highlight some of the main features of June's output. Done entirely in HTML format rather than the usual jpg-style, it offers perspective on what idleguy.com is all about.
2. From the Publisher's Desk - The question of why everything seems to be breaking down, why some things just don't work they wey they're supposed to and whether or not people have had enough of the current dislocation in America is posed.
3. Contents /Credits - This page, giving further insight to those who need such guidance.
4. Calendar - the calendar gets better every month, but still would be better if a person was in charge of updating it on a regular basis. It's gradually expanding and improving.
5. State of the World - Big issues, big countries,
6. Feature - We're on to Ben Kohn Hates Bunnies, Part Four, as PLBY Group continues the dismantling of the Hefner empire and the complete deplatforming of the Playboy brand.
7. Sports - The Belmont Stakes, U.S. Open, some perspective on MLB after two months of play.
8. Money - A review of the best assets to own, year-to-date, including stocks, commodities, precious metals, and a few oddities.
9. Food & Drink - Some tips on grilling, barbeque, and how to make your backyard gatherings more enjoyable. The Accidental Farmer's vegetable garden in late Spring.
10. Books - We've added three classics this month to the idleguy.com library. F.A. Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom", Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer", and Jean Paul Sartre's "The Age of Reason".
11. Public Domain / Toast of the Town - A special treat this month to offer a short by Kurt Vonnegut and our unusual selection of offbeat quotes in the Toast of the Town.
12. Back Page - A preview of the July issue and contact form.
