All 180 books I read in 2025. Reviews for each and every one are on my blog and any book tracker/ review site I'm on, as well as my YouTube channel.

Camille Pagan's Dog Person, out last week from @DelacortePress, is one that has a lot of things that will annoy a lot of people - and yes, the dog dies in the epilogue. Read. This. Powerful. Tale. Of. Grief. Anyway. Indeed, it is among the most powerful tales of its type I've ever read, not far from being the true master of this that Without Remorse is.

@bryanv1234 @SonnyBunch It is actually Congressional (among others) consumer protection laws that are forcing this issue to begin with.

@SonnyBunch If we had a working Congress, they would make laws protecting consumers from this.

@soncharm Forcing labor is called slavery. Forcing me to pay for something for someone else is Forcing me to labor for them. Thus, Forcing me to pay for something for someone else is Forcing me to be their slave.

Every time something like this pops up we get a round from the libertarian fraction making the ‘if it requires labor of others it can’t be A Right’ point. Which, to be clear, I agree with!, but gets kind of old (and many just *will never* buy into) I think really what we need is a word different from ‘right’ to refer to such things. Okay, so health care isn’t/can’t be ‘a right’. But it’s still good! And we want everyone to have it! At least to some basic level. That would be good, right? We all agree? Maybe ‘social good’? Health care is a social good.

Healthcare is a basic right. Not a privilege. Not a luxury. This World Health Day, we stand for access, protection, and care for all.

I had a few min wage jobs at that age (many yrs ago). If you're worth the extra nickel - or even penny - you tend to get it pretty quickly in those jobs. If not, you don't. Noted as someone who started at McDonalds as a min wage 3rd shift cook *weeks before graduating college* and quickly rose to management trainee who could - and did - do literally any non-management job in the store before said graduation. You absolutely were rewarded for hard work. Maybe not as much as you wanted, but that's working for someone else at all for you.

I fucking hate the “minimum wage is for high schoolers” talking point. A. No it isn’t, that’s historically inaccurate. B. Telling a kid to work hard and earn money the “right” way, then turning around and saying he deserves less just because of his age is bullshit. Pay should be based on performance. Nothing else. If you’re against raising the minimum wage, that’s fine. Make a better argument that isn’t belittling kids trying to work hard and earn something for themselves.

While media has made headway in representing the science behind Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time, too often media still spreads misconceptions about the issue often if the form of quotes from politicians getting the science wrong. #DitchDST link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@Phoebe_Putney Your xray techs *and whichever docs in your ER that looked at this* said that there was nothing wrong with *this*. #AlbanyGa deserves better. GA needs to end its Certificate of Need laws so that even small/ rural towns can get *competent* medical care. #gapol

@rationalyankee The challenge system with ABS at least adds back in to the game some elements of strategy that so many other changes this decade have been designed to strip out. I'd much rather have this than a pitch clock or ghost runner in extras or or or or

MLB tested full ABS in the minors. Players and umpires both hated it. The current system works. It’s fun, adds some drama and creates more correct calls. There’s always going to be those old timers who complain every time something changes. But I think the current system has been extremely successful so far.

Evan and Tiki want to see ABS used for EVERY pitch, not as a challenge system: @EvanRobertsWFAN

Let me tell you something as a former alternative school student: Those kids are legally owed the exact same education every other kid is, and they do *NOT* get it at alternative schools. There, you could well have 3 or more different classes of a subject going on at the same time by the same teacher, which means that the best and the worst get left out entirely. It also means that *none* of them really learn much of anything at all, particularly if they need an actual teacher to actually explain it to them. The alternative school *saved* me. It introduced me to the mentor who literally altered the entire trajectory of my life, up to and including meeting my wife indirectly because of him. But I was *very* much the exception to the rule in that facility. Indeed, even while I was there I was one of one in virtually every possible way. The only one in most of my actual classes there. The only one to achieve the highest levels of the school's behavioral program *and never once drop* (in 2 yrs as a student there!). The only one to be a full time college student while still also technically a full time high school student my second year there. And IIRC one of *very* few to even be given the *choice* to remain there or go back to my base school when my time was officially up there. Nearly certain I was the only one to actively choose to stay there and thus forgo nearly all HS Senior activities. (I found out when Homecoming was that year because I called the school on what happened to be the day of. To this day nearly 30 yrs later, I never knew when Prom was. I also never had to go through the college application/ admissions dance, since I was already a full time student exactly where I intended to stay anyway.)

@SonnyBunch The fact that @UniversalORL *makes it a point* to put Harry Potter in every new park it builds alone is evidence to this. They're not going to intentionally spend that kind of money knowing they'll never make it back... ;)

No phenomenon has ever been more online-only than the idea that people, broadly, are boycotting/tired of Harry Potter/JK Rowling.

@SonnyBunch There's more slop written by humans proclaiming themselves "historians" than anything AI generated on Amazon. Ive read more than a few of them.

Amazon rendering itself completely useless for browsing purposes is one of the more striking declines of the last few years. If I know *precisely* what I want I can find it. But if I have a general idea, it’s pointless to start at Amazon.

@jeffsexton @JeffGEdg That doesn't really address my point. The sun will be positioned differently in the sky at 12 noon based on the day of the year. This is true in both ST and DST. The fact that a methodology was used to develop ST doesn't prove or disprove anything.

#gapol I will personally *beg* friends and family in Ga to vote for literally *anyone* else against anyone who votes/ voted for this abomination. We need permanent REAL - *STANDARD* - time!
Save Standard Time@SaveStandard

@rahulbali @wabenews @GASenatePress @LtGovJonesGA @patricksaunders @DitchDst @AASMorg Georgians, tell your state house reps to OPPOSE HB 154 👉 votervoice.net/ditchDST/Campa… 👈 It would put sunrise past 8am for FOUR MONTHS, to nearly 9AM! It cost lives when last tried! Amend to permanent EST to keep sunrise before 8am for safety!
