I’ll say that the Power Broker by Robert Caro is one the longest and the absolute best books I’ve ever read. Absolutely incredible text, research, structure and topic. How power actually worked for one of the most significant single shapers of the current state of NYC and to some extent the rest of America

Parasite Rex changed how I think about a lot of systems. Really mind expanding

The original no longer works, but this is a remaster of what I think you are referring to. https://m.webtoons.com/en/horang/episode/page?titleNo=2185&episodeNo=10&webtoon-platform-redirect=true

I damn near ran out of the room first time I saw this.

This broke my damn heart. His work seemed to have the values I hold dear and be so insightful and then… he’s getting in the bath with girls who depend on him for housing.

I am thinking that power corrupts. I came up with that but you can use that phrase if you want.

Jimmy Urine has settled a lawsuit for grooming and abusing a 15 year old.

I really loved the music so much. This hit me like the Neil Gaiman story

Same buddy. She burned so bright

I’m going to give a shot one more time but if it doesn’t work I’m going to take back my upvote on this post. You’ve been warned!

I’m in the US and have never once successfully used one of the white screw in anchors. What is the mystical secret?

What makes you think he’s not being open and sharing something honest?

ACAB means all candy any body

NK Jemisen’s the fifth season was amazing. It won a Hugo. Then the sequel was amazing and different and won the Hugo.

Then the last book in the trilogy was crazier and won the Hugo.

Truly wild magic and a very very brutal world.

But we do have cabaret laws in NYC that say you can’t dance in an establishment without a license for dancing which is super dum dum.

Yup legal in NY.

Also, just to be clear I’m sure many places are horrible. I’m just talking about one that I recently went to.

No, my wife’s childhood friend runs a small farm with her husband and kid.

It’s a farm.

There are sheep and chickens. A dog to help with the sheep.

They aren’t rich. The chickens are not abused as far as I could tell. They are egg laying chickens. At some point they don’t lay eggs well and then they get sold. There is no retirement plan for old hens.

I went to an egg farm in wales this summer and it was pretty nice. Lots of chickens but they go out to roam every day. Eggs were delicious and bright orange yolks.
