Amazon sucks. Please never buy books from them.
Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.
Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

Pretty happy with Jay Kelly already because of the early Dean Wareham cameo, and then Jay Ferguson's Thunder Island hits the speakers a couple scenes later. All good here.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on why she's leaving Congress: "I've had over 773 death threats that my office reported to Capitol Police ... should I have to become like Charlie Kirk? I think that's too much to ask."

I have no idea how sincere MTG is here, but the idea that Trump would be bothered by his comments generating death threats misses the point that he has used terror as as a tool.
Terror is not a byproduct of Trumpism; it is a central feature of how he governs.

This kid knows how to talk and he’s very smart. I did not know they consulted 50 Survivors of the Titanic for this movie. And the officer who survived and saved soldiers at Dunkirk.

This is extremely funny given that she already confessed to contributing to the toxic culture, but when someone else calls her out for it she goes back on the attack. It’s just who she is.
LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well
STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people
MTG: I'd like for you to respond to that

Also noteworthy that the third guy is a breast cancer survivor proudly standing behind the guy who's cutting breast cancer research.
Noteworthy that the two guys behind Trump were mediocre musicians who became famous in the 70s by putting on makeup, high heels, and one piece jump suits…while writing seductive love letters to their largely young, male fans.

Under Trump, America is committing war crimes. But under Biden, there were irritating student protests at a college I did not attend. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Here are two views of birthday girl Agnes Moorehead performing the celebrated radio drama Sorry, Wrong Number (written by Lucille Fletcher, who was also the first Mrs. Bernard Herrmann and much later wrote my beloved Night Watch*).

Great TCM short on the Tarzan movies. Especially RE the reliance on sound/not music & the construction of the Tarzan yell. That was some straight up musique concrete shizzle. Wld love to know if Pierre Schaeffer or Halim El-Dabh were influenced or more likely the other way 'round. #TCMParty #Tarzan

The constant erasure is so appalling. This man's ego is going to erase us all, starting with Black people and Latinos.
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.
