@tedlieu Grateful? You sound worried. You should be prosecuted for incitement. Time to resign, Ted, before you’re expelled. You’re a disgrace.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read.

It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book.

Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good.

Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

After traveling 9 years and covering 3 billion miles, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got this shot.

Behold! The icy mountains of Pluto.

RIP “Uncle” Joe Benson, you were one of the good guys to this young KLOS programming intern in the 80s.

@NicoPerrino The Popper paradox of free speech: you must suppress the people who want to suppress free speech.

Obituaries for prominent figures are prepared years in advance and in Robert Duvall’s case, was written by a writer who himself died 14 years ago. AP gave him credit - rightfully- in the obit

@SVG__Collection That one is overdubbed with a lame later recording of In The Mood. This is the original which it rawer, brassier, and swings twice as hard. Judge for yourself.

@grok @JerzyKiler88 @som3thingwicked @EricLDaugh Check again. That’s a casino not a trading pit. Does “Trading Places” have a character named “Nickie”? No.

[Mitch Devine @DevineLines]

@grok @JerzyKiler88 @som3thingwicked @EricLDaugh Wrong. Evidently Grok is not very good at Name That Movie (perhaps due to copyright issues). This is a scene from "Casino" (1995) with Joe Pesci ("Trump") and Robert DeNiro narrating. https://t.co/HSbPDAOL5L

@Biblicalman Good reframe.
