Currently reading my fifth John Irving novel.
Years ago I picked up Until I Find You on a whim and I’ve been hooked on his writing ever since.

In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

Perks of kidney failure: When I was in the hospital I got a private room, probably so they wouldn't have to make someone else follow dialysis safety protocol.
(Of course, without kidney failure I wouldn't have needed to be in the hospital.)

There's numerous stories of him stepping in to perform violent acts on women in his films whenever he can (face won't be seen)

Kill Bill Is Back in Theaters in a New Version. It’ll Never Play the Same.
The Whole Bloody Affair changed the way I saw Tarantino’s epic revenge film—and so did the reporting about its making.

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.
