Any vintage stereo lovers out there in the #spéirgorm world? I'm trying to find a home for a 1960s Murphy stereogram, preference is to donate it to a non-profit org with an interest in restoring or preserving them. Electronics need some work but it's in great nick cosmetically. Reposts appreciated

👏🏻 Might just be the wrong time for you or a mismatch in mood, but no-one *has* to be dutiful about finishing books, films, or box sets on the basis of other people’s opinions.
Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you
You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

I don't think Trump can put tariffs on films? Under the 1988 Berman Amendment, films are explicitly exempted from any Presidential tariff order, whether emergency or not. Here's the relevant clause from The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA):
