MAGA is *constantly* looking to the Jim Crow South for inspiration.

Took another break from A People's History of the United States to read Everything is Tuberculosis by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social
It was excellent. It was very well studied, had a lot of information, and was absolutely engaging. Highly recommend.
Now to continue A People's History.

I have them on Audible. My eyesight has been working against me for the last 6 years, so I have moved to a format that is comfy so I get to continue reading.

Today I finished reading Bossypants by Tina Fey AND Yes, Please by Amy Poehler.
I enjoyed Fey's book slightly more as it felt more cohesive. Poehler's felt like each chapter was an essay.
Both were great, though.
Next up is The Poppy War Trilogy by R. F. Kuang.

Today I finished reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Suzanne Clarke.
It's a long read. It has some interesting things regarding magic, but I didn't think the magic system was defined. I'm not sure the read was worth the read.
Maybe Sanderson has ruined me.
Up next is Bossypants by Tina Fey.

It's our anniversary today, as well. I usually plan it a day ahead now, but we've been snowed in.
Happy anniversary!

GM patented an EV battery pack that can charge twice as fast if you plug it into 2 EV chargers.

I'm starting to question if my solar panels can keep up.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Today I finished reading Becoming by Michelle Obama.
Remember when politics were simple?
Yeah, neither does she.
But it's incredible to see how the family of the president lived.
Up next is Jonathan Strange & Mister Norrell by Suzanne Clark.

Take a second:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. β€œGulf of America" is at the top
3. Click on the three dots to the right
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is β€œGulf of Mexico"

Today I gave up on Exodus: The Archimedes Engine by Peter F. Hamilton.
I'm halfway through the book and it's just not catching my interest.
Therefore, I don't think I can do an honest review of it.

Up next is Becoming by Michelle Obama.

Is Musk behind bars yet?
It's very, VERY clear he's broken multiple laws.
What are you waiting for? Christmas?

The frustration we're feeling stems from us reaching out to our representatives and receiving either no response or rebukes.
