I missed some. Jenna is making a mini-series of it. I will be watching. Really great book. My friends are lining up.

Eventually his bestie Saint figures it out and rescues him. The book is very much about how this trauma shapes their lives and obsessions. Many many meaningful plot twists and turns, none of which I saw coming. My only criticism is the pale may be a little tightly woven. So many tied up ends I fear

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. One of the best books. A literary page turner. 592 pages went all too fast. Essentially it is about a knot of early adolescents in a small Missouri town. There is a predator who attempts to take the girl who has it all and Patch, a one eyed poor boy attacks the predator and gets taken himself

Book Review: All The Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker. Bought it new from my local indie book seller Liftbridge Books. Came recommended by several Instagram influencers. And it’s a Read With Jenna book. So many ways that could go wrong.

🏈 Report. All five of my ranked teams won this weekend against their unranked opponents. IL crushed W.IL 52-3, IN beat Old Dominion 27-14, OR stomped Montana 59-13, Old Miss beat GA 23-7, and PSU (boo) beat Nevada 46-11. It will get more interesting when they start playing each other.

Universal healthcare does not preclude private options. But everyone would have healthcare and then if you want to buy more you can. Just as free public college doesn’t mean private schools are illegal. We choose to live like this. people vilify the voices for a compassionate society.

Every other industrialized nation has universal health care. We have had pockets of free college…Univ of CA system until Reagan was gov, CUNY. Student loans have become predatory. People were going to get forgiveness on interest not principal. White people are victims is Trump’s 🎵. All this doable.

Bernie’s strong showing against both Hillary and Joe nudged Joe to move his policies leftward. And without the blockage of Sinema and Manchin the strengthening of the social safety net, infrastructure, and green policies would have prevailed. You are missing nuance.

If $74k is the "perfect salary," then with a $20k universal basic income ($1,667/mo), $54k is the perfect salary. That corresponds to a $26/hr FT job. That would be the minimum wage if the minimum wage had grown with productivity for the past 60 years. So let's go ahead and do both of those things.
