I feel seen.

I would add to nonfiction response.

4-I can’t believe the author missed a gigantic point.

For example. I’m reading a book on #MarkTwain, who was obviously ADHD, and the author completely misses it.

Mark Twain has a thought about: LUCK

“It is strange the way the ignorant and inexperienced so often, and so undeservedly succeed, when the informed and the experienced fail.”

I’m reading this very thick book on #MarkTwain, written by Ron Chernow and he completely misses that Twain was obviously ADHD and a chronic depressive. All his attempts to penetrate Twains psyche feel like time wasted searching further sensational instead of taking the obvious.

I would jest that the #MarkTwain award (which is going to Bill Maher, reportedly, the cuntiest voice in a cunty game) is about to be devalued significantly, but they’ve already given it to Bill Cosby 🤦‍♀️

2️⃣ Neoliberalisme is de facto een #WinnerTakesAll #kapitalisme.
