Yes her choices are familiar because we’ve all made them to some degree and have tried to help others not make them. The contrast between her old writing and these choices is shocking though because the former should have been a roadmap for avoiding or at least recognizing the latter in herself.

Facts

Plays tennis like he’s not allowed to have an opinion is so very well put.

Same. I hate it when she prospers.

And no Chanda. Boooooo!!

Pro Trump supporter Bari Weiss tried to suppress 60 Minutes from showing this video.

Here is the video. You know what to do.

Yes of course they know but they’d be concerned about getting sued.

Doctors aren’t going to post or suggest a vaccine schedule that doesn’t represent the accepted standard of care though. And standard of care is based largely on CDC recommendations.

This post is making me miss Rogers Park! It’s nice to hear that that it has a neighborhood theater again.

My pleasure.

I just bought a few items.

Thank you for co-organizing and posting this.

I love my Kobo Libra Colour. It has an e-ink screen that makes reading pleasant. The browser is out of sight and out of mind so it’s also distraction free. I read so much more than I did before I bought one. The Kobo Clara Colour is nice too (a little more portable).

I need to tell my mother about this. She likes him.

No. This is very ominous.

I already knew the premise (but didn’t remember the details) yet I still found this engrossing. Taut and creepy. Very 70s yet somehow not completely dated. #booksky #blacksky

The story of an emotionally abusive relationship from a sexbot’s perspective. Engrossing and thought provoking, especially on audio. #booksky #blacksky

These two books by Dean Spade are great to read together. They take different approaches to showing how the personal is political (and vice versa) in a practical and engaging way that still carries a lot of depth. #booksky #blacksky

The little fried apple turnovers are delicious.

Paolini. And not just because she crushed Iga today. She followed up a stellar 2024 with a solid 2025.

That was my first. I recommended it to my sister who actually lives and Richmond and she enjoyed it too. I really need to get on reading (and recommending) the rest of his books.

Yes. This is a really good idea. Global warming is going to require more indoor tournaments anyway.

Doesn’t this absolve them instead of asking how they contributed to producing the person he is?

100% agree. Too fancy and carries no emotional weight. Dictatorship, fascism or both are way better. Even communism however inaccurate. It’s not as if the communists are going to get mad and sue for defamation.

Mboko!

I had so much fun reading this book.

This kind of thinking leads to hounding and prosecuting pregnant women for purely innocent conduct

This song will truly never die.
