Hey America, you’re a classic capitalist economy and you love the free market. But somehow you blame the current Government because businesses charge too much for food, landlords charge too much for rent and oil companies charge too much for gas. You can’t have it both ways…

Un pò troppo ottimistico, ma spero vivamente di sbagliarmi. 🤞italians.corriere.it/2024/05/01/dem…

@nprscottsimon @foliosociety even back then, it was quite a hike to the shore.😢

We read from @foliosociety Autobiography eyewitness selections: Pliny on Pompeii rocked, Baxter on London burning. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@nprscottsimon @foliosociety Plinio never totally disappeared. A bit pretentious, but...

@nprscottsimon @foliosociety 🤔

We read from @foliosociety Autobiography eyewitness selections: Pliny on Pompeii rocked, Baxter on London burning. And... 6:15 pm et 3:15 pm pt live right here

@nprscottsimon Benvenuto, Benvenuto!

We open a recent used find: Folio Anthology of Autobiography. We read from Thurber, and about Proust, & more. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@il_misantropo To oggi ti piace vincere facile. Va bene lo stesso!👍😜❤️🙏

C'è soddisfazione nel silenziare gli haters e immaginare i loro insulti e le loro filippiche che vanno perduti nell'etere, come lacrime nella pioggia.

@pierpi13 Ma ci sentiamo come fossimo dinosauri. E non possiamo farci niente. 😢

Siamo la generazione che andava a scuola a piedi, portava il grembiule e aveva due soli libri: il sussidiario e il libro di lettura... E una sola maestra che insegnava tutte le materie, compresa l'educazione e il rispetto...

@pierpi13 Cosa sono le lenticchie, se non perle appiattate e commestibili?🙏👍

...Aristippo disse a Diogene: "Vedo che stai mangiando una cena molto povera. Voglio darti un consiglio. Se tu imparassi ad essere ossequioso con il re, non saresti costretto a mangiare lenticchie." Diogene si girò verso l'amico e gli rispose: "Voglio darti anch’io un consiglio: impara ad amare le lenticchie. Se tu avessi imparato a vivere mangiando lenticchie, ora non saresti costretto ad adulare il re e a vivere da schiavo cercando di soddisfare ogni sua esigenza.»

@nprscottsimon You pushed all the right and most sensitive buttons, with this. Blessings.

This week's essay: "I have learned to accept that our daughters have no real memories of most of the nutty things I used to do just to coax giggles from them..." npr.org/2024/04/27/124…

A third rate reality show “star” and the headlines on a grocery store tabloid are major contributing factors to a threat to the USA Constitution. “We have met the enemy and it is us” is no longer just a comic strip joke (not that it ever was).😢

@nprscottsimon @ruthreichl “Pearl oysters”? Could it be the title for @ruthreichl next novel?

Ahead: a major hack of a major health care company. How many health care records are compromised? Will prices go up to help cover the ransom and repair? (And does that question sound naive?) Then @ruthreichl on her new THE PARIS NOVEL.

@nprscottsimon Good morning to all.

This week’s essay on how parents and children begin to change places. And our show billboards, too. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@alanfriedmanit Deprimente. // Depressing.

Guardate questo video.

@nprscottsimon Going over your newsletter and wondering if you knew that Ruth Reichl lives next door to Edna St. Vincent Millay estate, now a foundation and residence for poets. Also: could Paterson from Paterson be the one who came up with "The dog ate my homework"? 😉

I have a good friend who really understands me. 😜🙏

@nprscottsimon mmmmh ... I was getting ready to call you "Uncle Scott" ,because of the vague resemblance to Mr Cronkite.

@gianpadano No, merely a European look.

We read the haunting open og from Remarque's ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
