How many bricks do I need on my nightstand? Saw an interesting interview with Sorkin on The Lincoln Project w/ Rick Wilson on https://youtu.be/I6rk9KgEEl8?si=ntM_6OPSCHTNupig YouTube. Another thing to worry about.

melissajayne I watched that interview and the history nerd in me loved it. 4d
Hooked_on_books I added the audio of this to my holds list the other day. It looks good and hopefully not too prophetic. 4d

“Apple currently uses 187 suppliers across 28 countries to make the IPhone” This slim volume in clear language explains why using Tariffs like a blunt instrument is bad for the economy & for businesses large & small. On again, off again creates instability, creates chaos. One of the most obvious problems shows up in our soybean market, China usually buys about 25% of ours . They have decided to source elsewhere. PS ,ultimately,WE pay the tariffs !

AmyG This policy is beyond ignorant. We are a country of morons. 😩 1w
Leftcoastzen @AmyG well not you or me , but I get what you mean!😄 1w
Reggie When I was watching all those videos of farmers saying none of their crops is going to be bought by China. Why are we always shit talking the country that buys our crops. And even if we reverse those tariffs they ain‘t coming back. They‘ve signed 20 year contracts with Brazil. And then we sent 20 billion to Argentina whose soybeans also got bought by China. I‘m shocked, so shocked. None of this is making sense to me. The world is so 1w

Mrs March | Virginia Feito
post image

Mrs March has a husband, George who is a successful writer, has provided a nice life for themselves & son on the Upper East Side . When his new book comes out it‘s a sensation! But when rumors come that the unflattering portrayal of the main character is based on Mrs March , she becomes obsessed with the idea he‘s up to no good . Is George gaslighting her ?Is she gaslighting herself? An intriguing book of a woman descending into madness.

‼️‼️‼️From the introduction.

Ruthiella This is so frustrating when people (deliberately ?) misunderstand that featuring one aspect of American history does not elevate it over another. The fact that people get mad about it just shows how ingrained racism is in this country. If National Geographic were to feature a documentary on whales, do they get angry letter that ALL marine mammals are important? 1mo

NYC the end of 1937 , Katey Kontent is a NY native who works for a living finds herself meeting & getting entangled in New York‘s smart set. Towles 1st novel is a love story to New York City. Interesting details & descriptions of the culture, night life, & how we get caught up in others lives. I‘m the odd one out I guess, I like this one better than his highly regarded “A Gentleman In Moscow” Not that I didn‘t enjoy that one too!😄

AlaMich I think I‘d obsess over how to pronounce her name. KON-tent or kon-TENT? It‘s hard being me sometimes. 😵‍💫 (edited) 1mo
Leftcoastzen @AlaMich I can clear that up !”He pronounced it KON-tent, as in the content of a book.It‘s Kon-TENT ,I said, like a state of being .” Quote from the book . (edited) 1mo

#Falling #Wildlife my mom loved Hummingbirds. The great thing about birds in general even if you live in a dense city , you will interact with birds.

Great Read ! Roman has come a long way from the small town he was raised in & the families crematorium.A financial wiz living well in Atlanta, he goes back home , his father is ill . Nothing could prepare him for the extreme situations he is drawn into with his younger brother & the crazy criminal elements that kind of run things in Jefferson Run . A great ride w/ twists and a well told story, characters with depth. 1 of the best I read this yr!

This is my team , they are basically out of the running . I did really enjoy this collection of essays on the storied history of the Giants, their best players & world series wins! I love the style of this book , it‘s almost like you are sitting having a coffee with Alex as he tells these stories. He doesn‘t forget to mention the weirdness & cold of Candlestick Park ,the great announcers & clubhouse legend Mike Murphy!
