I’ll never stop loving Oklahoma, but there is a reason I don’t live there anymore.

Recap of my January reads.

Read All the Colors of the Dark over a snowy weekend. I could not put it down. Think I’m one of the few people who didn’t like Project Hail Mary. The Widow was good Grisham. #booksky

Are there any other Sirius-XM customers who are tired of hearing the Ethos Life Insurance β€œaltar call” commercial with Mike Slater?

Reading β€œProject Hail Mary”. I’m 60% through and can’t help but thinking I’m reading β€œThe Metamorphosis” from a 3rd person view. #booksky

It’s beyond tragic how capitalist corporatists have convinced working Americans to hate each other while lining their pockets with increased margins and lower headcounts.

Snap recipients aren’t the problem. Corporations sacrificing employees and the larger economy on the altar of shareholder greed is the problem.

The one thing house republicans are more fearful of than losing reelection is Trump’s ire.

It’s like all these right wing infotainment folks got a memo that said β€œrevelry in stripping snap”. Starving kids isn’t the own they think it is.

It’s quite something seeing all these folks cheering on the suspension of SNAP benefits as of 11/1. These are kids we’re talking about folks. Feeding them. They don’t vote.

Has anyone read this? I’m halfway through and it’s been a slow burn for me. Would love your thoughts.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I’m thinking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise was getting stale so they thought a spinoff with radioactive shrimp at Walmart was in order. Tell me I’m wrong.

If you wanted to jettison the constitution in support of your own kingship, you would start with constitutional protections for noncitizens. Fly that test balloon and see how far it goes. If it goes far, you move on to peeling back the next constitutional protection.

Dollar to donuts it won’t stop Trump and team. Defying court orders is easy when you don’t believe in the rule of law.
