If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

I appreciate the Dickens-esque structure, and even find the small errors endearing (sleet in Louisiana? Possible. In October...?) I ripped through it, with no suspense of story, but can imagine the late-night trip being an absolute cliffhanger.

Excellent book. Next, a shortie: Shawshank.

This one reminded me more of 11.22.63 than his other books. A real tearjerker. The way the narrative shifts between the present and past isnt dissimilar to the protagonist in 11.22.63 trying in vain to change the past.

Coffey of course is wonderful. Paul is a worthy moral compass, open & kind.

The Green Mile. Wow. What a book.

After a very, very slow start- I mean really, Mr Jingles the mouse is the main character of part one- the themes of justice, racism and the inherent cruelty of capitalism shine.

Love the Starboard

The Sixers

(Actually I hate them)

I stopped drinking but...

I'd celebrate with ALL the booze.

Does this mean I have to return my tariff check

Imagine

She compared the Trump administration’s claim that it can unilaterally remove exhibits it does not like to Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. “As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto ‘Ignorance is Strength,’ this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims — to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts,” Rufe wrote. “It does not.” Rufe, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President George W. Bush, did not buy the Trump’s administration’s authoritarian argument: “[T]he government claims it alone has the power to erase, alter, remove and hide historical accounts on taxpayer and local government-funded monuments within its control.”

This is the good shit right here

The President’s House court ruling is a crucial win for the power of truth | Editorial “Each person who visits the President’s House and does not learn of the realities of founding-era slavery receives a false account of this country’s history,” wrote Judge Cynthia M. Rufe.

An absolutely blistering, beautiful editorial from the Phila Inquirer 🔔

Its unreal how good it is. You get lost in the world, talking in that language. Its a perfect book.

Except chapter 21, of course.

Drop an album that was importat to you when you were nineteen

Oh, how arent you blocked already?

Wait, I gotcha.

Putting the Joe Frazier statue in the shadow of the Rocky statue is a low blow We should not be elevating fiction over reality in Philadelphia as the federal government is attempting to erase our historical facts.

Gift article for youse

Please dont put the real, heroic Philadelphian Joe Frazier's statue in the shadow of the fictional, MAGA-brained Sly Stallone movie prop

The story itself was so barebones. I appreciate the simplicity of simply being lost in the woods. Triumph of the spirit, back against the wall survival stuff. It hit hard when her reality set in.

Fuck the Red Sox.

Just finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Fun little book! B+

Grim toward the end- no spoilers- but I was certainly worried about just *how dark* it would become.

Really good protagonist. Light-hearted and optimistic.

You know about the Justin Sane stuff, right? If not, check it out.

Yes

Maybe, maybe not. Hard to see Grimes playing out of position, opening up guard time for McCain.

But, whatever, it absolutely sucks to give up on a fun, talented BALLER who really just seems like a good kiss. For sure, it sucks.

I dont like the trade, but if McCain isnt going to play a lot, and his value sinks further, it is reasonable to question whether we would get more than a first and a few seconds as we get closer to the draft.

I would have kept him, but the value is reasonable.

Only on episode 2. And it feels. SO. SLOW.

Why are all these shows with these short seasons insisting on stalling?!

The Inquirer is my favorite subscription, and I will never give it up for as long as I live
