And how can you change that as a lawmaker?

Edit: Of course this is meant to be a joke, because that’s the exact opposite of GOP. Capitalize on hate and drive hope into the bowels of hell.

Does it need access to anything local? If not, you could run it as an AWS Lambda on a schedule.

Homeless people are being sent out of Scotland's capital to make room for Swifties in c/[email protected]

Terrible headline. From article: “In an email to BI, a spokesperson for the City of Edinburgh Council said it is not moving tenants out of temporary accommodation to make way for Swifties.”

Sorry. I’m still not tolerating corrupt governing. If you do, that’s okay.

[Help] Library loan expired (sh.itjust.works)
 

I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow. Great book. I came down with a terrible cold that has sidelined my ability to focus. Can’t read while not feeling well. Anyhow… I put myself back on ‘Libby waitlist’ for library loan.

In meanwhile, I figured it can’t returned if I put it into ‘Airplane-mode’; Is that right?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR!!!

I find if I choose two radically different subjects, or genres, it is less challenging and doesn’t feel overwhelming. For instance, I was reading ‘The Republic’ by Plato and ‘The Nasty Bits’ by Anthony Bourdain last time.

Now I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow (non-fiction) and ‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride (fiction).

Are you a two-timer?

Reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow… What are you reading? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Started this book and am really enjoying it thus far. It is a great follow-up, or prequel, if you will, to her podcast ‘Ultra’. Fascinating story, and a warning…

I did it! Wasn't long, but I triumphed! (sh.itjust.works)
 

Kids were getting ready for school and there was some downtime before I started for work. The dog was somehow calm (puppy warning... getting a puppy is just crazy -- it's like we have a new toddler!)

I read for a good 10 minutes, or so, and am going to hit the rest of that chapter tonight!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend, and a good start to your week...

I haven't read in a bit, but... There is hope! (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have to admit, I have not read in a bit, or posted for that matter... I think it is a little of parental exhaustion, back-to-school madness, busy at work, etc. I'm a little embarrassed, but I'd rather be up front about it than not.

This weekend sounds like a great time to pick up my Kindle and read even for a few minutes, a few pages...

I didn't realize that subscribers have ballooned here! Welcome everyone, and please, please, please contribute if you have time.

Have a great weekend all, and feel free to share your story of reading breaks, why you may have had one, what brought you back or what tools or tips you have for me or others...

Be kind to each other and read on!
