Part of me doesn’t like that this was done at all, however it may have been far more gutting had the administration put their grimy fingers on the process.

Impeachment is a political tool, and doesn’t change anything unless removed. They won’t do that.

The next president, if there is one, should flatten it remix all the materials with dog doo doo and mail it back to mar a lego in a paper bag ring the doorbell and light it on fire.

Circle of suits. Sue DOJ, but they determine they don’t need to be sued for breaking law.

Yet another Constitutional crisis. Add it to the pile.

Just the victims. So nothing has changed.

Judge should’ve been removed from bench that was on this case.

Would it be a good idea for librarians to unionize? Seems as if it would be a good way to fight back in numbers.

This is so alarming. Doesn’t have authorization. Does it. It gets pulled back. It is destroyed. History is gone. No other repercussions?!

Pardon my celebration, but adding and removing bookmarks on a page is so much easier than it has been for years! Tap to add. Tap to remove. Who would’ve thunk that a simple design pattern would take so long to implement.

I’m still reading Plato… Tough with two kids, and I’m also reading Typhoid Mary by Anthony Bourdain (RIP Tony. Love you and miss you man…)

All these years I’ve read from a Kindle I’ve never quite understood reasoning behind jailbreaking the device. Recently I looked into what DRM is and learned it is enforced by the publisher, itself, and I would think it is also based on contract agreements with author or estate, in some cases. It feels like same as music piracy in a way, but I also see the issue as I am writing this message. If you buy a book, you should be entitled to read it however you wish, however I do see the side of publisher in that you could just give the book to someone else and read it. In some ways I think this is good, and also not intended as a publisher or author, but also this is how books have been consumed for years’ prior to digital age. Book clubs, reading groups, little libraries, etc.

Discuss. I’m open to hearing more about this and views from others.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Almost done with my book and on to another reading adventure :)

Excellent thus far… An interesting new phase I’ve learned from book is “negative freedom” and “positive freedom,” which are both philosophical terms. In summary, negative freedom is typically what we in America refer to as freedom; obstacles are impeding our freedom and when those are clear we refer to that as freedom. Positive freedom is viewing freedom holistically without internal or external barriers.

I’ve just learned these terms and my summary may differ from those published, but I’m planning on reading more on the terms.

Highly recommend book to any fans of racing, and perhaps, of history. Fascinating read and a page turner!
