Price alert. The ebook prices seem to be wrong on every retailer but Apple Books.

mrtruscott @mrtruscott.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
The ebook pricing is all over the place for this. $14.99 on Apple Books, $25.07 on Amazon, $28.49 ebook on Barnes & Noble, $28.49 on Bookshop .org. Let's hope these are ai errors. It seems like bad form to raise prices for an ebook to hardback levels, especially in this economy.

Think of the impact the Carnegie money had on libraries, and look at what Jeff Bezos has done lately.

The dirty secret is — trump’s eroding “base” barely existed, since nearly 37% of registered voters didn’t bother to vote for anyone.They know this, and that’s why they’re frantically attacking on all fronts. If a slice of those disaffected voters can be motivated to wake up….

It’s a great time to be an attorney, says the Trump administration. And no one else, as trump attempts the first “see you in count” reign of its kind.

Even when it’s mildly amusing and dubiously newsworthy, I cringe every time someone quotes x or screenshots a post from x. Every thing counts, now more than ever. But people say I’m too hardcore. That’s not what my great grandchildren will call me, years from now.

I notice clinics and ERs are asking for photo ID at registration. This is not required and they cannot deny you care. So if, like me, you “forget” your photo ID, they have to move on.

It’s unprecedented and no one is prepared to deal with this situation. Sadly, plenty of people are prepared to profit from Trump’s psychopathy. We might as well be back in the pre-antibiotic days with a syphilitic king. Yes. I said it.

There's a madman in the White House. It's unprecedented and truly unbelievable. No one in the US or the world had a contingency plan for this reality. (Hint: the way to deal with this? Is not spelled mid-terms).

Well, trump already blamed dogs for being eaten, which is related to “the dog ate the Epstein files.” So a new red scare? Makes sense.

The WSJournal woke up. Chaos/blitz is the strategy. “Assuming all of this is legal, it’s still an unseemly display of using the Presidency for family profit...The main difference between Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings and the Trump projects is that the Trumps are brazenly open about theirs.”

This is how the White House communicates. (From The Daily Beast 7/1/26) In a statement to the Daily Beast, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said, “You must be f---ing blind or stupid, because that was a perfect walk.”

I don't agree with the 40 year timeline. See also 9/11, Pearl Harbor, etc... the US isn't Russia. They've always been ruled, and we invented democracy. We have a history of rebuilding and reforming.
