Really didn’t expect my first impression of a k-pop girl group to be “damn, they remind me of the Beastie Boys”.

I’ve not yet read it - just picked it up in the sale - but their previous book, “The Last Days of the Dinosaurs”, is terrific - top-tier science writing for a lay audience.

Still a visceral shock to see history books already characterizing the modern US like this, no matter how accurate.

This is a fascinating argument. I may have to revisit Gatsby now.
On April 10, 1925, a young writer published his 3rd novel – a commercial & critical disappointment about a man passing for white
100 years later, Pulitzer Prize-winner Wesley Lowery reveals the secret hidden inside a piece of America's literary canon...
And how "The Great Gatsby" became white

Gatsby’s Secret
Read as the story of a passing Black man, "The Great Gatsby" is the great American novel.

I see tech bros have now reinvented DVD extras, but in a shittier, public version.
There’s throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, and several levels below that is whatever this is.

I wear suits a few days a week for work, so they’re basically normal clothes for me.
That said, it’s still very uplifting to my spirits to be walking around in a white linen suit on a Friday in the spring.

There was *one sentence* I read yesterday in Dan Ozzi’s “Sellout: The Major Label Feeding Frenzy That Swept Punk, Emo, & Hardcore 1994-2007” that referenced Reel Big Fish, and 30 hours later their “Sell Out” is still on infinite loop in my brain.

Holy crap. Grace Elizabeth Hale’s history of the Athens music scene in the 70s and 80s, “Cool Town: How Athens, Georgia, Launched Alternative Music and Changed American Culture” is just so, so good.

Stayed up much too late finishing “Haunt Sweet Home” by sarahpinsker.bsky.social, which I started reading at lunch.
It’s hard to talk about without giving spoilers, but it’s an absolutely terrific ghost story (& more). Absolutely a book that makes me want to grab people by the lapels & rave at.

Finished listening to Grady Hendrix’s “Witchcraft for Wayeard Girls” this afternoon. What an absolute monster of a book. There’s plenty of horror, both supernatural and natural, but also a story of the way society in the 1970s (and now, if maybe less blatantly) casually lies & manipulates girls.

coping with everything.
OK, I'm going to take the like as a yes.
So, to be clear, this thread hits on three things - dealing with worry, dealing with feeling helpless, and focusing on limited available paths to productively help. Maybe some of this stuff will work for you - all I can say for sure is that it has helped me.

You open to suggestions/advice? Based on how I got through the three times my wife was out playing in combat zones?
