So how do I make this shit on the righthand side of my screen go away?

Bera: CA-6 (Sacramento)"We spent the last four days talking about Al Green," Bera said. "We should be talking about some of the crazy stuff that Donald Trump said in his State of the Union speech." www.kcra.com/article/ami-... Except most of the talking was about the 10 Dem "yes" votes. No?

Thanks. I do have this info in my tragically messy heap of notes. The only PA rep. Have any journos ask these Reps what the hell they were thinking?

You're a shameful joke verging on criminal. If you're "sick to (your) stomach," do something. Caucus with the democrats. Vote AGAINST the proposed Republican bills that are going to hurt your state and our country. Until then, this is all performative bullshit.

Here's an error-free, online excerpt from her novel, if anyone is interested. Intriguing.

"We're going to Greece!"

"And swim the English Channel?"

"No, no, no. To *Ancient* Greece, where burning Sappho stroked the Wine-Dark sea, in the temple by the moonlight, wa-de-do-dah."

~ May have fucked up the quote, but am grateful listening to Firesign Theatre in youth made me who I am today.

I can't help but think that the "experience" would be "unforgettable" because, if I followed through, never before in my life had I debased myself to such depths. Yep. Blocked. Be attentive out there.

Book 5 of 20 that have really stayed with me. Way overdue for a reread. Introduced me to semiotics, is an example of where the author is deliberately didactic but it really works, is more about points made than story told (a compelling mixture of both) through deploying a collage or montage style.

Book #4 of 20 that has really stayed with me. This is one beautifully, weird-ass book. Just doesn't fit into any genre slot that exists.

No personal description. Account name consists of two random letters, two random numbers and followed by two random letters. No original posts only reposts. I've begun to block that shit on sight. Right?

These need not be books from my youth. This was published nine years ago. I read it maybe a year or so after that. I've since read nearly everything she's published. Influential and inspiring. The movie is awful.

Interview w/ author of a group biography of four billionaires: Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreesen (My note: Not as familiar with M.A. as the others), and Elon Musk. BTW, I've found most eps of Benjamen Walker's Theory of Everything rewarding listening.

Choose twenty books that have stayed with you, influenced you. One book per day, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

The issue here is these are not *exactly* the "words of Cormac McCarthy." McCarthy wrote these words for Anton Chigurgh, the relentlessly amoral and murderous villain in No Country for Old Men. Hannibal Lecter step aside! Read more here: lithub.com/jd-vance-quo...

Note: I always find that last sentence to be at best inexplicable and at worst kind of stupid. It’s social media. Why not explain?
