Wow. I guess #BookTok has shown up here? Well, anyway, welcome to my new followers.
So here's how I do things.
I tend to keep my followbacks low until I get to know you as an account management tool. I use the OnlyPosts and Spec List feeds primarily.
Gotta have time to write.

if we take it to be true that the tariffs are aimed at getting americans to buy US-made products, then what's the point of rolling them back when they become painful? the entire point is to cause financial pain to change consumer behavior. what's the strategy here?

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

Just me remembering decades of sermons & conversations in white evangelical churches about persecution & standing up for the gospel & now hearing complete silence from the same people who preached those sermons re the abuse of clergy at CBP & ICE facilities.

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Return the Black Hills to native people. Other places would also be good, don’t get me wrong, but there is so much mineral wealth in the Black Hills that deserves infinitely better stewardship and isn’t gonna get it as long as mining companies can just walk onto public land.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

There is no moral difference between an 'ephebophile' and a pedophile. And whatever the age of consent is where you live, a grown adult has no business getting into a sexual relationship with a teenaged child.

This isn't driven by class or racial solidarity: Serrano is half Honduran, half Afro-Cuban--like Afro-Cuban Enrique Tarrio, former director of Latinos for Trump, former chairman of the Proud Boys & convicted J6 seditionist.
Trump's appeal to men like this is gender solidarity, pure & simple.

The increase to my quality of life with WFH is immense. More time, more money, more flexible scheduling—
Anyone who insists people *must* return to the office if their employees' jobs can be done from home is a bad person.

I WFH 100% (maybe pop into the office if absolutely necessary).
I save a dead minimum of 1.5 hour of my life every day, between commute and not needing to "dress" for work.
I also save at least $200/month in gas, car insurance, and parking costs. That's HUGE.

I'm currently commuting two days a week almost an hour each way and TBH it's my limit. I cannot believe I used to do like 90 minutes each way five days a week for years.
