There was a crazy idea a year or so ago that they would impeach Biden and somehow skip Harris and have the speaker of the House become president. Maybe that is their master plan.

I agree, I’ve been in many protests over the years and you could sense when something was not right. Like if the crowd built a platform to hang people on.

I’ve been doing this for the more complex books with a lot of world building.

The people who want to bring back slavery assume they won’t be the slaves. If they aren’t billionaires then they are making a big assumption.

I guess my statement was too broad, I don’t want to go to any tourist attraction that has that many. I have been in many airports and malls, but not for the joy of experiencing nature or history, my two favorite things.

Although I’d love to see the buildings of the Acropolis I would never go anywhere that has 20,000 visitors a day. Nope.

I agree, there are different learning styles.

I’m watching Foundation. Watched one episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and I might continue watching that until our subscription to Paramount Plus runs out.

Are they going to blame Ukrainian drones?

I’m re-reading the First Law series, actually listening to Steven Pacey read it to me. I recently finished Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse. I want to read A Memory Called Empire next.

Its beautiful, a place for silence and contemplation.

I agree. I don’t think the enshittification of Reddit is complete yet. Just like how Elon finds more ways to make Twitter worse.

Beautiful!

I guess we need to know what people consider long. The full document is longer than the Declaration of Independence , which I know a lot better. I can’t remember having to read the Constitution in school, just the preamble and a couple of amendments. This doesn’t excuse my ignorance though. Thanks for providing the whole document.

This is exactly their process, if their constituents swallow this as acceptable then feed them the next, slightly worse thing. Slavery was horrible and we haven’t recovered from it as a nation.

I am wrestling about this as a resident of Florida. Both my kids are leaving. My trans son is leaving next week and can’t use a public bathroom on the way out of the state without causing confusion or chancing arrest. The state doesn’t deserve him, Maryland does. As for my husband and I, I just don’t know.

That is horrible. Where is this happening? I’m surprised and not surprised, they have a long list of things they want banned or erased. I think sex ed. is on that list for the schools. I believe they will also be eliminating any members of the groups they target from working in the schools or maybe libraries. They aren’t done yet.

I can’t find Memmy on the Apple App Store. Is there another way to get it?

I listened to the 2nd and 3rd books of the Murderbot series on a car ride recently. I had read them before, but it was the first time that he did. I really enjoyed laughing with him.
