If ever there was a time to read this book, it’s now. We should never forget the horrors of war and avoid it by all means. Ironically, this book is well known to President Trump, and he was quoted as saying it was his favorite, speaking of the movie version.

@JamesMelville He’s clearly crafting an exit, and “witch” is telling as it is his subconscious mind at work. Truthfully, let’s let him get us the hell out of Iran and let him brag and fabricate all he wants if that is what it takes to make it happen.

“Witch”? He can’t even spell “which” properly.

@ChrisHelali I can’t verify this. All I could find is that they are thinking about it.

@WorkElizab It’s a drapery hook.

I’m Positive You Will Not Know What This ls. If you really know this then you must be old!

Back in the day, all we had were cloth diapers and we kept them fastened with these big safety pins. I think the whole deal forced us to hurry up toilet training because managing the diapers was a big deal and there was real motivation to move into the next phase quickly. Some said, not good to pressure the child too quickly to be potty trained, but truth be told no infant wants to be dirty, so cloth diapers made them very aware when it was dirty, and with a little help from mom/dad and older siblings, they moved on pretty quickly. Most of us hung onto the safety pins and used them for many other things.

No one across the country seems to know what this is

@WeTheBrandon JD Vance should exit politics, period end of report.

He knows how bad 2028 is going to be for the GOP...

@AlexAndBooks_ I like how he thinks.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice! Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

@sweet_nector1 An actually very effective vacuum cleaner that you could buy once and it would last at least 15 years.

People keep guessing, but no one gets it right. Do you know what this is?

I didn’t expect The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis to hit so hard..

@MikeBales You aren’t alone🙂

I refuse to believe the little pig didn’t go shopping 😂🥓

@ronsterd89 I really like it! Is the ink colorfast? Thinking if it might rub off on clothes. It’s really special🙂

"Hace años, un estudiante le preguntó a la antropóloga Margaret Mead cuál consideraba ella que era el primer signo de civilización en una cultura. El estudiante esperaba que Mead hablara de anzuelos, ollas de barro o piedras de moler. Pero no. Mead dijo que el primer signo de civilización en una cultura antigua era un fémur que se había roto y luego sanado. Mead explicó que en el reino animal, si te rompes una pierna, mueres. No puedes huir del peligro, ir al río a tomar algo o buscar comida. Eres carne de bestias que merodean. Ningún animal sobrevive a una pierna rota el tiempo suficiente para que el hueso sane. Un fémur roto que se ha curado es evidencia de que alguien se ha tomado el tiempo para quedarse con el que se cayó, ha vendado la herida, le ha llevado a un lugar seguro y le ha ayudado a recuperarse. Mead dijo que ayudar a alguien más en las dificultades es el punto donde comienza la civilización". (Ira Byock)

@GandalfLeSexy Mercie, Monsieur!

@balbert49 Le cabinet se trouve derriere une bubliotheque majestueuse, c'est un petit recoin, intime, depouillé, loin des fastes bourgeois du reste de sa demeure. Le lit de camp lui servait pour des siestes ou des méditations.

Le cabinet d'écriture de Jules Verne m'émeut à chaque fois.

@neilkatz @CarlZha Sheesh! 700 years war 😱

@CarlZha Even crazier: what it’s really about (but not present in the movie) is humanity’s survival after fighting a several hundred year war against AI robots.

I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.
