I think you're absolutely right about the hate vs. fear. But when the charismatic (Trump? Ew, how?) cult leader dies, sometimes the cult doesn't have anyone else they all believe in, and it breaks apart. I'm hoping for that.

And The Handmaid's Tale was supposed to be fiction. But here we are.

I've had a Kindle paperwhite for multiple years now (7?) and I use Libby to check out books from my local libraries.

I've seen this picture! (The exclamation point is because I never recognize art, and I'm shocked.)

Wall Calendar 2025, Japanese Woodblocks: https://a.co/d/0ueyiiG

I've gotten this calendar 7 out of the last 10 years or so. They use mostly the same pictures every year, but change the pictures for each month around a little, lol.

A ticket is $575! And that's like, starting price. No wonder the average income of the attendees has gone up. They're the only people who can afford to go. The rest of us down here spending our entire paychecks on rent and food can't be wasting money on shit like this.

Other people organized, staged, and enacted that coup. When he realized it was happening, he decided the coup stagers were "loyal" to him, so he was on board from that point on.

I agree with you that some people don't deserve a quick death.

But I don't think it should be government sanctioned or within the prison system, because they get it wrong all the time, and the innocent suffer.

Ngaio Marsh is good, and I'm enjoying them, but if it's between her or Agatha Christie, then Dame Agatha wins every time (personal opinion).

I LOVE a good Poirot mystery story. Gather all the suspects together and then reveal all the secrets everyone has been hiding as well as the culprit of the dastardly crime. chef's kiss
