As someone who reads a LOT (I enjoy collecting books as well) with usually 4-5 on the go thus likely far surpassing the 13 books per year US average, I completely agree.
Read what you want. With the advice that it doesn't hurt to mix it up: fiction, non-fiction, plus a variety of subjects & genres.

One side wants to give you free healthcare and free childcare.
The other side has already taken healthcare away from millions and doesn’t care if your children are murdered at school.

Trump will be out of office one day, one way or another, so I'd like to remind everyone who's breaking laws on the assumption that Trump will always be there to protect them and pardon them that the reckoning will come for them all eventually.

Good rule of thumb for determining who are the good guys and who are the bad guys is “which side is eliminating libraries” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump moves to gut several agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries
The president signed an executive order that repeals several Biden-era labor and environmental policies, and another that severely cuts various independent agencies.

Many voters sat out the election, voted third-party, or worse yet, voted for Trump, protesting the destruction in Gaza.
How y'all feeling now that Trump wants to "clean out" Gaza, move Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, and resume shipment of 2,000lb bombs to Israel?

Trump says he wants to 'clean out' Gaza and move Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt

Didn't live up to the hype? It's because countless engineers and IT professionals worked around the clock for several years to update code, get patches in place, and test, test, and test and repeat for literal YEARS

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.
Y2K seems like a joke now, but in 1999 people were really freaking out
