A guy used a Kindle for 4 years before he realized he was using it wrong.

He read 60+ books on it. Highlighted hundreds of passages. Never adjusted a single setting beyond font size.

His sister-in-law a librarian who's read 800+ books on her Kindle sat next to him on a flight and watched him read for 20 minutes.

She finally said: "Can I show you something? You're missing the 9 features that make this thing actually useful. Amazon hides them 4 menus deep. Every Kindle owner I know reads way slower because of it."

She changed 9 settings in 6 minutes.

He finished his next book in half the usual time. Remembered twice as much. Looked up zero words on his phone.

Here's everything she showed him

@FischerKing64 I never thought about that.

But over the MOU and Isreal treatment:

Excitement may be subdued. Some might not bother to vote. A cautionary note for this midterm elections .

@unseen1_unseen Yup, I won't be voting for Vance.

What Israel needs to do is take off the gloves immediately and attack Hezbollah in Beirut and throughout Lebanon. With maximum force.

That’ll accomplish two very important things:

1- Make Hezbollah pay.
2- Anger the IRGC and hopefully blow up the deal.

Actually, it’ll accomplish one more thing. It’ll remind Trump that the Jews are no longer an easy target and that he can’t speak on behalf of Israel nor can he commit to a terrorist regime that Israel won’t defend itself when necessary.

That’s what has to happen next.

[Mossad Commentary @MOSSADil]

MOSSADIL COMMENTARY:
TRUMP IS WRONG ON THIS ONE.

President Trump said Israel does not need to “knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody.”

But that line ignores the reality of the war Israel is actually fighting.
Israel is not fighting a conventional army lined up on an open battlefield.

It is fighting terrorist armies embedded inside civilian areas, operating from apartment buildings, neighborhoods, villages, mosques, schools, tunnels, and homes.
That is not an accident.
That is the strategy.

Terrorist organizations do not hide among civilians because they care about civilians.

They hide among civilians because they know the world will blame the democracy that responds.

If the new rule is that terrorists receive immunity the moment they operate from inside a civilian structure, then no Western nation will be able to defend itself against asymmetric warfare.

Any terrorist group could use the same playbook:
✔️Hide behind civilians.
✔️Fire from civilian areas.
✔️Store weapons in civilian neighborhoods.
✔️Build command centers under homes.

Then wait for the world to tell the country under attack: “You are not allowed to strike there.”

Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.”

The Palestinians never wanted peace.

This must be shared every single day.

🚨 WOW! Spencer Pratt just dropped this after they stole the LA mayoral election from him — he’s about to drop BOMBSHELLS he was saving for the general election!

“We have some recordings of one of your insulting candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.” 🤯

“I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it.”

“You think you can get rid of me that easily?”

“Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?”

🔥🔥🔥

“I'm going to be lighting you up every single day and now I don't have to worry about offending CNN viewers.”

“I don't have campaign laws hamstringing me now. It's WAR. It's zero hour for Los Angeles!”

Not sure if we are talking about inflation or the fact that Diesel gas is around $5.20 a gallon.

How do groceries get to the store? Usually, by truck.
What do trucks use for fuel? Diesel.

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

Another Costco outing. Everything is more expensive. It's not just things like coffee - which were a result of tariffs. It's everything except the $1.50 hot dog deal. Milk, eggs, even apples. And Costco is very good at keeping costs down. Inflation is up in a real world way.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. ActBlue just PLED THE 5TH and REFUSED to answer about getting foreign donations infiltrating US politics on behalf of Democrats

She wouldn't even refute getting RUSSIAN money! 🤯

ActBlue is a FRAUD group. Shut it down!

REP. JIM JORDAN: Your board chairman said ActBlue accepted up to 38 million contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin. How much fraud is too much fraud?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: How many foreign contributions did ActBlue accept?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: How much money did ActBlue accept from Russia?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: Why did your entire legal team quit? Your in-house legal team?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: We won't keep you here all day, but let me just do one more. Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

Absolutely insane.

BREAKING: Karmelo Anthony broke down in tears as the guilty verdict was read, visibly shaking while his defense attorney comforted him. Anthony was convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf and now faces the possibility of life in prison.

During the sentencing phase, Anthony’s mother tearfully pleaded for mercy, describing him as her firstborn son and expressing her deep love for him. Prosecutors challenged her testimony by asking whether she could still maintain a relationship with her son if he were incarcerated — a possibility the Metcalf family no longer has with Austin. The same jury will now decide Anthony’s sentence.

Netanyahu just warned his cabinet: Israel may have to face Iran alone

No US backing, weapons cutoffs, global isolation and all.

“We don’t want to get there, but we know we can.”

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir was even blunter on the emerging nuclear deal: “As we see it right now, almost any deal is a bad deal.”

The deep rift with Trump is widening. Bibi’s ready to go solo to avoid what he sees as a weak agreement, while the US pushes hard for de-escalation.

This tension is driving the endless cycle of strikes and counter-strikes.
