Your honor, #quotmarks as emphasis was trending on booktok.
That was my first thought ... before I read the thread, which is more wtf?!
... into the anus of the US imperial system.
I went to my first "we met online" wedding around 2010 (their kids are teenagers now). This discourse is from the Pleistocene.
My podcast intro from hell: "Today we're going to talk about [topic that I can't *wait* to hear about] but first we gotta do some housekeeping ..."
Why doesn't he just buy a gravel bike and hit the road in this get-up like any normal dude going through a mid-life crisis?
"Sí, es feísimo y apesta pero me va a hacer virrey de Cuba."
It's early days but looks like it's going to be his #1 war in his Spotify Wrapped 2026.
The peyote of the mineral world, lol.
It's a recurring theme. 😅 Mind you, they pick bad "airport" non-fiction to start with. I've had this happen a couple of times but more often the authors just go off on too many side-quests with too little structure that should have been separate essays. Long live the long-form!

I just said this to a friend last week! I read a lot of non-fiction books and so many of them should have been an essay or a long-form article. Shorter, cheaper books is another good idea. It's like shows with one or two FANTASTIC seasons that keep going until I lose all respect for the producers.

Get a haircut, Gad.
But seriously, I'm German. I've done volunteer work at Auschwitz, I'm old enough to have met Holocaust survivors, and I read victims' accounts when I was far too young (avid reader, library card, etc.). I thought I knew "evil", including The Banality Of Evil. This is different. It's pure nihilism.
At this point I question everything.
We've gone from "Facts don't care about your feelings" to "Facts = your feelings".
Sorry, it's white people food for everyone for the next couple of months 😬
Nooo! The best things about the Maus are that it doesn't talk and doesn't have a name. It's simply "die Maus". I also love how it often has a slightly puzzled look on its face.
the average Dieter's age is about 60
I like "Operation Epstein Fury"
Pre-emptive retaliation
They definitely moved fast and broke things.
