Couldn't agree more. Stories let us sit in a life that isn't our own, to understand a motive we don't share, a pain we haven't lived. That's the quiet work of empathy, and it's in short supply right now. We need more readers, not fewer. 📖 #booksky #amreading #fiction
"I read nothing except the criminal news and the agony column. The latter is aways instructive."

A post by The Guardian with a link to a story about Pedolf & pals wanting $1.5 Trillion to play war. The crop of the image accompanying the story shows whiskey pete keg's breath's head cut off below the eyes revealing him to be the loathsome scurrilous sack of shit he is.
The crop:
Image is a forest with trash scattered everywhere. The cartoon character Pogo is looking at it, attempting to clean it up. Text reads: "We have met the enemy and he is us."

“Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it."
“Human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece”

Moody black-and-white picture of a very foggy Piccadilly Circus in the 1950s, with pedestrians walking past the Eros statue and a man standing near an old taxi. The buildings in the background are just vague shapes, hidden in the smog.
Shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Emerging Authors Dagger 2025 , with the judges saying: a "terrific setting and the writing in this is really impactful; it’s gripping and makes for a really pacy read.”... a "very sharp historical mystery."

Vladimir Nabokov
Today is Nabokov’s birthday.
In #Lolita he shows how intelligence, charm, and polished language can be used to conceal crimes.
Predators like #Epstein crave beautiful alibis. #Nabokov offers none.
He gives us a liar so eloquent that the reader has to struggle not to be deceived.

From The NYT:
R-led Congress hit historic lows for productivity last year-cast 362 votes,only 64 bills became law. The Department of Homeland Security, which employs some 260,000 people, has been shut down for nearly 70 days!! because lawmakers can’t agree on a deal to reopen it.
Pathetic
Iran has 600 churches and around 100 synagogues. Much of the info on Iran is lies spread by Israel and now the USA.
In the past, Christians were sheltered by Iran when they had to flee from the Roman Empire. So they in fact helped save Christianity.
