Fuck around, find out.

Gee whiz. Nobody could ever have seen this coming.

Lol. Lmao even

Yeah. Library workers have been trying to stop this for years but many institutions are still locked in and I'm still mad about it.

I wonder if https://www.reflectacles.com/ will work against pervert glasses in addition to security cameras. Seems like a good time to find out.

Sounds like another good reason to take a train instead.

The fourth branch: how state government can save our union, by NY Rep. Daniel Squadron. I'm a political novice but it seems to me to be a pretty good argument that US state and local government is an underappreciated (by the left) powerful tool for enacting change.

Just started reading No prophets: the fight to save democracy from Christian nationalism by Jared Huffman, a California Representative. Very important, very urgent, and a quick easy read.

Nice! I read that for the first time about six months ago and thoroughly enjoyed how unhinged every single character was.

Awesome, thank you! I'll check that out.

I have two copies of the Star Wars novelization of Revenge of the Sith, one I bought years ago in hardback and the other in a compendium of all three prequel novelizations. Plus a few classics like Beowulf by different translators.

I also have a variety of nonfiction in multiple formats, because I got a bunch of ebooks years ago. Never actually read them because my old Kindle died and I tried putting Adobe Editions and then Calibre on my computer but ran into problems with DRM and other issues and just didn't get around to fixing them. And now I've been buying some nonfiction in print and found that, oops, I already had the ebook. But I'm determined to get to the ebooks at some point because now I have a new phone that actually works and have been experimenting with some FOSS reader apps. (If you have any recs for Android, I'd love to hear it.)

That's a great method, and also, your example book sounds like my jam. What was it, if you remember?
