Well, that was unfortunate.
Two successive skeets: the first says never to trust religious leaders telling you how to vote, the second a news article headlined "Top Catholic Clerics Denounce US Foreign Policy".

I mean, both have good points.

The current top 3 stories in the National Review told me way too much about that site.
Top 3 stories in National Reciew.
#2 predicts disaster for Mamdani/NYC, #3 reads like a parody of extreme right views of progressive state laws.

The hotel? past the deckchair, down the steps behind the mechanical cow, turn right at the giant corgi.
View looking past a double-size fixed deckchair at a cow sculpture made of metal gears and mechanical parts.
 On a lower level behind this is part of an open shopping street, displaying a fiberglass (?) corgi the size of a short-legged horse.

Utterly unrelated but are you being held captive by a Greg? If so he's calling you immense, hopefully a reference to wit or fame.

Is there any e-book format planned? I physically can't fit any more paper books in (see random selection of closest shelving...) and obviously discarding books is against the rules.

And now I found my own total fabrication. Searching for which Simple Minds track had the line "No one here gets out alive" (ans., the live version of "Book of Brilliant Things"), Google AI instead attributed the original Doors number to them. So confidently.
Google AI asserting that Simple Minds wrote the song "Five to One".  
The Doors would not be impressed.

Best and clearest explanation. Any doubts? look at what's happened to the wealth of the richest 1% in the last 25 years.
Explanation of trickle-down economics via a wine-glass pyramid.
  As wine pours into the top glass, instead of overflowing to the glasses below the top glass gets bigger and bigger, keeping all the wine (wealth) for itself.
