Yes.
Tartt’s career is weird.

She should have got the Pulitzer for A Secret History.

The Pulitzer winner The Goldfinch wasn’t bad but not near Pulitzer worthy imo. It left me cold.

I thought The Little Friend vastly underrated but as her second novel she was doomed regardless.

Yep.
As I stated to the other individual: people have no interest in educating themselves if they don’t know something.
I don’t get it. The internet is a vast resource to inform yourself on anything (as long as you’re careful.)
I don’t know something. I do what’s necessary to find out.
Idk. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yep.
I find sm a struggle.
I frequently hit the character limit. Frustrating. I believe my point valid.
Flip side: forcing me to use less words and be direct will only help my writing. (Hi, Earnest. 🙋🏻‍♂️)
Your key point: educating yourself. Most people don’t/won’t. Bizarre.
Idk. I find out.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

So Weiss will remain editor in chief and CEO of The Free Press and editor in chief of CBS News, so they’re not hiding the conflict here? The head of CBS News, supposedly impartial and nonpartisan, will also simultaneously be running a highly partisan site.

The Future of The Free Press

The Free Press is joining Paramount.

Wow. Judge Immergut just issued a second TRO from the bench blocking the deployment of out of state National Guard troops to Portland. This analysis is holding up well👇

Norm Eisen @normeisen.bsky.social · 16d

Trump’s attempt to federalize the National Guard in Portland has no legal basis

No invasion
No rebellion
No breakdown of law

He’s using a years-old video to justify a power grab

We @democracydefendersfund.org are in court to stop it

I explained on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social👇

BREAKING: Judge Immergut has GRANTED a 2nd TRO blocking National Guard from ANY state be sent to Oregon. She was very annoyed the DOJ circumvented her order from yesterday. I'll be joining Adam Klasfeld on Substack live to discuss in a few minutes...

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 10d

JUDGE: Again, this is an emergency hearing with limited briefing. No new information has been provided about issues in Portland, so for all of the reasons stated in my prior opinion, I GRANT plaintiffs second motion for a TRO. 16/
