Love her!

Truly - just because you can doesn’t mean you should

If he’s not using a laptop privacy screen while on public transportation he’s basically asking for his grammatically expert seatmate’s editorial assistance IMO. ;-)

Agreed, and - I assume it’s a coping mechanism. A person can know, intellectually, that nothing warrants that kind of abuse & also find it hard to reckon with having allowed oneself to remain in such a situation. “I learned a lot” is a form of psychological self-defense for which I have sympathy

YES - I do the same in my Critical & Strategic thinking courses for MBAs. It’s also easy to (incorrectly) judge the wisdom of a decision based on whether the outcome was positive.

A pre-season WIN!

Open the schools!

Yes.AND to have the catalyst for his inner peace turned into an iconic ad!

It will take MUCH more Braves misery to balance those scales. But it’s a start. ;-)

She’s inspirational

As a Lit Hub subscriber, please allow me to say

Louder for the folks in the back, please.

The feature I find most helpful is the one that lets me keep track of the Reading Challenges in which I’m participating. If the creator posts the challenge there I can track the prompts and my progress. I love that! Thanks, StoryGraph.

Among the noteworthy aspects is that it’s set in Chicago. Most books about the era and crisis focus on NYC and SF.

Thank you for this! You’re giving me reason to hope …. #LGM

Well when you put it that way …..
