  @nocto@social.lol If you want to try old children's mystery books, I would strongly recommend "The Three Investigators" series—particularly the first dozen books or so. They were written by Robert Arthur, who was an outstanding mystery writer. Try to find the editions featuring Alfred Hitchcock as the presenter, preferably with illustrations by Harry Kane. Those are the originals. A number of books for young readers were also edited by Robert Arthur under Alfred Hitchcock's n...

  @SueInRockville@mstdn.social You can add the Democrats to that list, too. 100% corrupt, just like the whole US government. Which must be overthrown.

  Brave on my phone seems to have terminal sclerosis. It won't load anything. So I installed WaterFox. Working fine so far!

  I spent twenty minutes yesterday chatting with Mitch McConnell. He did twenty minutes straight of his Darth Vader breathing impression. What did he say to YOU? #MitchMcConnell #TwentyMinutesWithMitch

  Google/Alphabet is flat-out determined to make EVERYBODY pay them a monthly fee for storage. They've announced plans to count all Android backup data against your Google cloud storage. When that happens, what are the odds that millions of people will suddenly find themselves out of storage? And don't forget, once you're out of data space you will no longer be able to receive email. Probably no longer be able to text. Hell, you might not even be able to browse the web anymore, assum...

  @gutenberg_org@mastodon.social So I still have to wait five years for my favorite book. But I'm ready; I've scanned it and recorded myself reading it.

  @ml@social.mitexleo.one I'm sure that 72,000 is far less than the actual number of casualties. My guess is it's probably close to a million, if not higher.

  @FluentInFinance@mastodon.social I vote for toilet water! Which should also be force-fed to the billionaires who own those centers. Force-fed until it comes out of their fucking EARS.

  @hellomiakoda@pdx.social He makes a good point! But I'll still tip generously until capitalism is overthrown, because workers still need to eat. We SHOULD be beheading the billionaires, though...

  @SrRochardBunson@universeodon.com Not recently enough. There should ALWAYS be one, until the people of North America do what they SHOULD have done in 1980 and abolish the US government - completely.

  I was driving in an unfamiliar area today, when I passed a giant bookstore. The sign on the front said it had 100,000 used books, every one of them $3 each. And blu-rays and DVDs, too. I'd have pulled right in if it didn't look closed. Looked it up when I got home. Permanently closed as of 2 weeks ago. I must grieve now. #books #Bookstodon

  @catsalad It's the expression on his or her face that gets me. So deadpan. No sign of the heroic jump that's in progress. Just, like, "yup".

  Quasit's Book Recommendations: "Shōgun" (1975) by James Clavell When I was in my early teens my father had a fairly serious heart attack. He survived, thank goodness, and lived well past 90 years old. But while he was bedridden and convalescing, our neighbors brought all sorts of books over to help him pass the time. They were mostly best-sellers of the time; books that I would never have read on my own, since I was a science-fiction fan. "Shōgun" wa...

  @BuckRogers1965 It kills me that so many people are unaware of this. Or simply refuse to believe it.

  @Remittancegirl Protesting is good, but it's not the whole solution by a long shot. Supporting Democrats is NOT a solution. It's just picking Fascism Lite over Fascism. You still get fascism.

  Speaking of book recommendations: if anyone would like a personalized book recommendation, please feel free to ask! I've probably read more books, particularly older books, than 99% of the human race. And my memory for books is unusually good. So I'd be glad to make a recommendation for anyone who needs one. Now, I •will• note that I haven't read that many books that were published after the year 2000 or so. I've read some, and I'm trying to read more, but just not that man...

  I need a hashtag. Can anyone help? I need a hashtag for comments on posts by people who are supporting the DNC, either intentionally or as useful idiots. We're seeing more and more people who are actually claiming that the Democrats will make everything "normal" again, and reminding us that Obama and Biden and Kamala Harris were SO much more "moral and respectable" than that crude and foul-mouthed Trump. Somehow they are completely oblivious to the f...

  Here's something I've been looking forward to: the first free ebook recommendation. H.G. Wells was not only a founding figure in the creation of the genre of science fiction; he created plots which have continued to define the genre to this day. "The War of the Worlds", "The Time Machine", "The Invisible Man", "The Island of Doctor Moreau" are just a •few• of Wells' genre-defining novels. Which make...

  @GhostOnTheHalfShell @Npars01 @anirvan But if we rise up, smash the state, and end capitalism, all of their blackmail material will be worthless.
