I am a child born in the early 70s. I am the son of a history teacher/football coach and I have inherited his gift of reading writing research. I am pursuing this skill set wholeheartedly here in the second part of my journey.
I am considering this huge book to read right now soon as I finish Vineland. I’m going to read every Pynchon novel but right now it’s a tossup between Gravitys Rainbow or Against the Day.

please don’t misunderstand me. I think a Native American would be a wonderful choice to become president of the United States. I truly do.

imagine: a Native American is elected president of the United States. And argues before the Supreme Court that everyone who is descended from other countries must pack up and move back to their original countries. Seems like that could be a trend! Huh?🤣🤣🤣

Review | Jennifer Lawrence is brilliant in an otherwise underbaked ‘Die My Love’
Director Lynne Ramsay insists the film, in which Lawrence plays an erratic new mother, is not about postpartum depression. How could it not be?

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."
But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Just a hypothetical, perhaps a storyline or a narrative for a book of mine to come. What if they were allowed to enjoy the new Mar-a-Lago country club and they can have a huge party to celebrate. At least then they’ll all be in one place at the same time.
