I would normally have said yes: older cars were built to lesser safety standards. But for the newest cars that make you tap a touchscreen five times to turn on the fog lights, I don’t think that’s true any more.

This was quite lovely & thoughtful - and the ending really touched me. Also, second interaction today about how reading Unflattening multiple times revealed new discoveries- that’s rewarding given how long it all takes me! :) thank you @antingreads.bsky.social !
Dedicating my first graphic novel *extra mini* book review (of sorts) to @nsousanis.bsky.social!
It's my third time reading it and I discover new things each time.
(Note to self: So inspired that one day you shall write a graphic novel too.)

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

FACT: Movies are lying to you – beating up an inanimate object is not an effective way to deal with anger. Usually it just makes you angrier.
