Wait, you didnāt do the audiobook reading yourself?
Oh well, congratulations on it anyway ā thanks so much for everything you do to help keep sanity in the world

I donāt think so. I think once Trump is in power Fox News and the right wing media will simply start telling their audiences that everything is safe and wonderful and better now, and people will believe them. I hope I am wrong.

Sorry, but yacht rock ā even if it isnāt a genre ā works for me as a way to identify music I want to hear. Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, America, Christopher Crossā¦ Itās OK if you donāt like it, but I do

You rock, Molly! Congrats on the book. FWIW I loved your motherās work, and Iām sad to hear you had such hard times. Best wishes for a bright future, though. Thanks for all you do.

Trump shows a profound misunderstanding of what people mean by āPresident Muskā. They just mean he is calling the shots, not that he holds the office. Idiot.

I loved Blitz and was astonished at how beautifully shot it was. Greatly disappointed, though, that I had no chance to see it in a theater.

Gotta be Quantum. There arenāt many Bond films that are actively bad, but this one is.

Iām in denial and mental health care mode. Avoid the news. Distract, which for me means do lots of self-care and self-improvement. Not the most responsible course, but itās temporary. I wonāt be of use to anybody if Iām a collapsed blob of jelly.

Yes to all this, but: I need help with cutting down on plastic. I see everybody shopping with eco-bags, but I need the plastic bags to use for throwing out the trash. Am I missing a more green-friendly workaround?

Are people arguing about this, seriously? I just finished the audiobook of Matt Haigās The Midnight Library, read beautifully by Carey Mulligan. It was delightful, and itās absurd to say I havenāt read it. I donāt multitask while listening though.

Lots of people skip credits, but Netflix and other streaming services could simply add a toggle in Settings to have complete end credits play by default, for viewers like us who want to see them. It would be easy to fix, why donāt they?
