Now I'm getting ones for books I didn't even write!

What should I read? I recently read my first - A Severed Head - and... if I'm supposed to like that, I guess she's not to my taste? But willing to try again!

Currently calculating my various expenses for last year and wowsa I am at a place in my life where my annual spend on downloading court documents is many multiples of my spend on clothing

Favorite Simpson quote because it so perfectly encapsulates my personality (and now my daughter’s reaction to it).

Snow day for monuments, too.

Ooooof.

I haven’t!

I devour Sattouf so I’m definitely checking out these others!

Oooooh these look great!

I’m not sure it it belonged to him or to Leon Black’s wife - there’s a fair number of receipts for her jewelry in the files.

Wow.

She's wearing gloves. No touch for anyone!

I can't get over how perfectly this image encapsulates our current colonial museum moment. Tony Molelia wears a cotton smock so the cloak doesn't touch his skin. It's instead held in place by a museum curator. Descendants can get only so close to their heritage in a place controlled by preservation.

Summary of the visit with interviews with the Moleila dekolonial-erinnern.de/the-ancestor...

In 1900, German colonial authorities hanged Mangi Molelia for resisting their expansion into what is now Tanzania. A few days ago, his great-grandson Tony Molelia visited German to pray with Mangi Molelia's bones, held in one museum, and to wrap himself in the cloak his murders also stole.

Oh, smart - thank you!

And you think Octavian has been forgotten, @mtanderson.bsky.social!

This is rapdisly turning into a thread of books that I want to read - forget my kid!

Oh we have already read the crap out of those!

Thank you - perfect!
