    I’ve totally fallen off the reading books wagon. I used to be a regular library visitor, maybe read a book per month. Haven’t finished a book in the last few years. Nowadays, I consider it an accomplishment when I read Wikipedia plot summaries of movies I had no intention of seeing (Joker 2, The Whale)

    Can we get a review of the Joker 2 summary? Worth reading?

    I have good news for you: You have social security!

    Oh wait, but that will be gone by the time you need it. My bad. But...at least you get to pay for the people currently using social security!
    We can't hope for this...then we end up with President Vance.
    The fact that celebrity endorsements were paid for is just the icing on the cake for this bungled campaign.
    Do you think Charlamagne realizes that his comments on the transgender surgeries for prison were a huge reason of why people showed up for Trump? That was literally Trump's most popular/effective ad. Take some ownership.
    You, you, you oughta know...

    who else is on the short list???

    when I look, I'm seeing a lot of articles talking about how they think trump will make the decision, but none of them name any specific names really....

    At the time I read Politico's piece Pompeo was in there too, but I guess Trump ruled him out.

    Now the media is saying House Armed Services Chairman congressman Mike Rogers from Alabama could be the frontrunner too.

    thank you - I don't know anything about him, but as a bald guy who googled him, he wears a toupée (if I have the correct Mike Rogers)

    I was going to post this to my IG Story and then stopped, as there is sort of an important couple sentences at the end here:

    “Although the evidence base is expanded and generally supports chest surgery, confidence in findings is low because of a lack of studies and/or poor study quality, use of mixed surgery populations and the confounding effect of hormone and other therapies, which almost always precede surgery,” the study found.

    I fell off that wagon as well, used to be a crazy reader when I was younger then fell off, got back on in my middle twenties and fell off again. Started picking it up again around this time last year and then made a goal to read 12 books in a year which I am at right now.

    The Mars trilogy, the book on Israel's targeted assassination program, and the J. Edgar Hoover bio were probably my favorites.

    The article isn’t talking about surgery for children. Why does what you’ve quoted make you apprehensive to share it?

    we go to the library at least once a week with the kids, and I always have at least one book out at a time that I'm reading. I read fiction, mainly just fantasy & sci-fi, but I keep saying I am going to branch out and read some non-fiction. Twice now however I have taken a non-fiction book out and it just sat there for about a week and I didn't even crack it open and ended up just returning it.
