Tana French novels often live up to the hype, at least for me.

Did you ever get the money they owed you? I had a much less exciting version of that where a job I had was taking money out of paychecks for insurance that was never actually provided. Many years later the courts sorted things out and a few thousand showed up in the mail.

"Futility is freedom"

Kind of the opposite of a lynch mob since they were trying to free the 9 IDF soldiers arrested for raping and torturing prisoners instead of attempting to punish them. I would call this more an attempted prison break, or possibly even a sort of coup against the rule of law by elements of the Israeli government, if its true those ministers were involved.

I was at breakfast today overhearing the table behind me talking about how great Vance was, how his wife is a "pure blooded Indian", and he has so many kids and is perfect to take over from Trump. I think they overheard my partner and I talking too, I had mentioned what Trump said about fixing it so we don't have to vote after the election and then noticed them not talking for awhile after being very loud. Then they started talking about how people who play video games are drug addicts who should be sent to rehab camps with the homeless after Trump gets elected. They overheard my partner and I talking about gaming together. So ya, fucking stay frosty people because its getting scary out there. This might really be the last election we get.

Paris. I've always heard how rude and unfriendly Parisians are towards English speakers but that was not my experience.

It's full Android with the Play store but wifi only, no cell modem. You can install whatever you want just like on a phone, you just can't do calls or SMS. I haven't tried Google Maps on it but I'm sure it works, although you might need to adjust things to make it look better. I've used it to send audio to Bluetooth devices but haven't tried the built in speaker, I wouldn't expect it to sound good.

Boox Palma, a phone sized e-reader that runs Android. I read a lot more books and I think the e-ink display makes it easier to fall asleep.

The US is not a member of the ICC and has been opposed to its existence from the start. While it's true the ICC tends to be popular with a large percentage of Democrats, there's always been bipartisan support for shitting on it.

Masters in Business.

It works great for some but for me it's one of the worst drugs I've ever tried. I made it a few weeks before I gave up on it. The side effects were terrible, I felt like shit until it cleared my system. I didn't notice any benefits from it.

Sure. I have a lot of issues with the US but if fascists overthrow the constitutional order every American has a moral obligation to restore the rule of law.
