Gotta agree. I was on my phone, halfway thru this movie; flat & disappointing.

US Constitution Article 1 Section 5: "...Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."
so how can the House be adjourned for more than 3 days?

Book #30. Presents Jefferson as a political figure that “shaped America” rather than a full biography. The author was more in love with his own phraseology than details around his subject. This was quite different from the Jon Meacham biography.

Book 26: This book critiques how history is taught and gives examples of persons and events where the actual circumstances are obscured, and "heroes" are not so perfect. When historical events are distilled down to Disneyfied summaries, we cannot learn from our shared story.

Book 25. A satire about an author of avant-garde fiction whose writing is not best-selling. Novels of “the Black experience” are selling, so he writes a novel to parody these novels. Instead of being seen as satire, this novel receives accolades and recognition. Highly recommend!

Book 24. The story of OpenAI, collision tech startup mentality with politics, greed, and charismatic leaders. If you followed events as they happened, this is a rehash. Good chapters around the components of the models and limits of the tech. If you're researching AI companies, a useful book.

Book 23. A man's dreams change reality; the psychiatrist he goes to for help exploits him and he can't stop him. Really enjoyed this. Recommend!

Book 22. The Duterte regime weaponized Facebook to attack enemies and investigative journalists in the Philippines. Harrowing! Highly recommend this book.

Book 21. A British cybersecurity pen tester is framed for the murder of her husband & she tries to solve the murder. Readable but every twist was predictable and all the murder mystery cliches were put to use. A beach read but not much more.

Book 20 of 2025. The history of English weavers (Luddites) rising up against exploitation and wage theft by industrial capitalism and automation. Very detailed and relevant to today. Highly recommend.

Book 19 of 2025. The structure of chronological vignettes, without filling in the linking details across them, was an interesting technique. I recommend this one!

Book 18 of 2025. First cyberpunk novel I've tried and not sure I like this genre. Guess I prefer to just watch the movies!

Book 17 of 2025. A thriller: a dying man is persuaded to commit murder for money, and gets deeper and deeper in the scheme as he tries to get free. A Tom Ripley novel. Recommend!

Book 16 for 2025. About offshore finance, “tax havens” and other global tactics, in a system”optimized for gaming the laws of other countries and for hoarding capital” for the ultrawealthy to thrive outside the rule of law. The tone was a bit sensationalist / clickbaity. _Moneyland_ was better.

Book 15 of 2025. A murder mystery based in rural North Carolina. Interesting depictions of the town & people, but the plot was very predictable.

My reading pace really bogged down— I’m not enjoying British spy/bureaucracy novels (finding them tedious), so I’m giving this genre a rest for a while so I can look forward to reading a book again.
