@John_Barach It helped that these two have exceptional Audiobook versions.

@John_Barach In recent years I've read Don Quixote and Moby Dick and decided they were my favorites purely for the pleasure of reading them. I read them every year nowadays and have starting reading other books for fun as well. Decameron. Puddnhead Wilson. Macbeth.

@megha_lilly I do this, and its transformed me into a weirdo. I've lost the social, myth making aspect of public education, and it turns out I'm not smart enough to get along without this.

@EdLatimore @GoofyNewfie2012 I may be stronger than 99%, but the 1% are all in my martial arts gym, shoving my face into the mat.

@Clint_Davey1 Anglo Saxon Northumbria goes all the way to the Firth. Normans gave that land away. Edinburgh and Lothian rightfully English.

@cremieuxrecueil For all the crap that cyclists get on this site, pedestrians are a million times worse.

@p8stie How do you know me so well?

@Clint_Davey1 Few, but they included the Mongol queens and princesses during the Empire.

@growing_daniel Throughout the 1800s, most Americans were farmers. When they moved, it was usually laterally, on the same latitude, so they could run farms the war they knew. A New Englander would move to Nebraska.

@Empty_America Trump won in 2024 with the whites plus Hispanics coalition that Jeb envisaged in 2016.

@UsingLyft Decades ago, when black politicians started winning mayorships, libs created the "Hollow Prize" concept to describe lack of improvement in these cities. The idea is that Repubs/whites moved real power and tax receipts elsewhere like state govt or suburbs. Cities couldn't improve.

@JJTDFB9 @myth_pilot Of course I do. Music soothes even the (deaf) savage beast.

@myth_pilot @JJTDFB9 I started practicing the piano six years ago. Practice near every day. My dog always sits beside me to listen.

@RufusRomantc @Babygravy9 I walk my dog thru the park and every week I find pieces of cats. The coyotes tend not to eat the jawbones or the forepaws.

@davegordon14 @bhargreaves In 1911, progressive governor Hiram Johnson ran a reform ticket that amended the state constitution so that CA citizens, in their wisdom, could bypass the CA legislature (which had been seized by railroad interests). So now a man can pass a law to give himself $4.2B.

@wylfcen @memeticsisyphus It's filled with children, the greatest resource of all.

@GDPMaxxer It's popular enough to influence behavior. Can't trust Californians not to bring this back. "Temporary" Prop 3 tax passed.

@razibkhan The Rs have a Senate majority for the next two months. Why not swap out their justices now?

[Red Cabbages @redcabbages]

@p8stie So sad and it never gets any easier to accept

@Clint_Davey1 When i spent a week in Paris I always ordered a Stella because I had no idea how to say "1664" in French.
