Eleven of you have joined X Money, and, in an attempt to get me to join, Twitter.com has told me, and presumably your other non-joiner followers, which ones.
Do with that what you will …

“Northern California nurse held by ICE for nearly two months as students, colleagues seek her release”
A USF professor and nurse from Nigeria has been in ICE custody for 2 months. She no longer appears in the database but might be in Louisiana. She had a protection from removal order/no record. This is inhumane we must get these people out of detention.

I read a book on acting whose author said that Keach was a terrible student of acting concepts in the classroom, but his talent was so overwhelming it didn’t matter …
My favorite moment of his long career, Stacy Keach plays a washed-up drunk boxer who cottons to the realization that he's going to likely be dead soon. You can't understand what it was like when Keach hit the acting scene as a young man...

From a B&N review of “The End of Everything” — reminds me of Samuel Delaney:
“The information you get is limited and distorted. … I didn’t find it frustrating. … [I let go] of my need to understand everything. … I don’t think this is a book you read to figure everything out.”

1/2: Last year, Mr. Huang persuaded the president to roll back a ban on chip sales to China. The two later struck a deal letting Nvidia sell its second-most-powerful chip there … Nvidia has donated at least $20 million to Mr. Trump’s ballroom fund.

2/2: Trump was briefed on the intelligence about [the Huang affair] roughly a year ago and took no action. Current and former officials said the men’s close relationship had impeded efforts to rein in Nvidia’s chip sales abroad, stalling some Commerce Department investigations …

A profile of Dave Regan, “the pugnacious head of a California health care workers union [who] wanted his colleagues from other labor groups to support his … proposition to tax the assets of the state’s billionaires.”
Worth carving out time to read.

In the days since Republicans’ shellacking at the polls, Trump has vacillated between threatening to “destroy” Iran and suggesting a resolution to the war is near.

my recipe was
1 bottle of everclear,
1-2 bottles of vodka&rum
Maybe a can of sparks
Chopped up fruit
sit for at least a day
Add juices like cran, oj,/ Tampico
& then the secret ingredient was kool aid packets which made it taste like there was no booze in it

Hey Millennials, I know it’s late to ask but…
What was in Jungle Juice that we use to drink at random house parties? 🤔

That’s a lotta damn pressure on each sentence in a novel — what is that, like, 9,000 sentences …?
The sentence “After the death of his father Stoner made weekend trips to the farm as often as he could” elicits in me a reaction that must be similar to how men feel when a woman writes an elegant sentence about shopping for something to wear to see her lover (“I DONT CARE”)

Wow. Senator John Kennedy.
How is this not everywhere.
Seriously. This is insane. Listen to what he’s actually saying.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is preparing to run for the GOP’s 2028 presidential nomination, according to three people briefed on his plans, after his home state of Florida was one of the few conservative bastions to survive the Democrats’ sweeping midterm victory.

“Apologism” is the very wrong word, but I highlight this book as being the most trustworthily honest memoir I’ve ever read.
From the 1995 book Fat Chance, about Simon Gray's play Cell Mates, which starred Stephen Fry (who famously fled to Belgium after a performance) and Rik Mayall. Gray tells an anecdote about the time that Mayall became sickened by Fry's paedophile apologism

They never mention the summer of ‘25’s very thorough bombings, just eight months before. No nuclear threat deserving this $46billion war of choice arose during those eight months.
President Trump made the right decision in February. He has also given the Iranian rump regime many opportunities to stand down from its nuke ambitions since. They’d have to open all their facilities including Pickaxe to IAEA inspectors. They haven’t. So I pray @POTUS finishes the job.
He and the entire GOP paid an enormous political price for strategic clarity about what Iran with nukes would mean. The gas and especially diesel cost hikes felt
by everyone but no one “feels” what it is like for the fanatics not to have a nuke.
No president before him and likely none after would pay the political price. Having already paid, he should finish the job and let history judge the decision on its merits. If the regime collapses or is cowed, and even if it somehow survives without revenue for 22 months but cannot ever again get close to a nuke, Trump will be vindicated.
