This is a book about money and education and status symbols, about loving your career, about demons, about magic, about fantasy school - but most of all about how 'school' is always a kind of fantasy.

This is the 20th straight hour of Booker speaking. This is the energy and honesty we need in a Senate leader, not what we have been getting. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

What caused the Great Depression?
Most people would say the stock market crash of 1929. That was probably the No. 1 factor, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made it worse. The act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods by almost 60%. /1

Sometimes I can’t believe that the library lets me walk out with an armful of books and I don’t have to leave them a credit card number or firstborn child or anything else in exchange.
