I do almost all my reading via audiobook because the amount of time I am available for uninterrupted holding and staring is much less than the amount of time I am available for listening
audiobooks are great and count as reading!! if you don't like visual books or have a schedule that makes them difficult, read an audiobook!
i am fully prepared to blame this on that thing where for decades anglo kids haven't been taught to read properly; to which the immediate fix would be to turn many more people onto audiobooks

Trump’s latest fundraising email asks supporters to check a box to “SUPPORT MAGA in this DO-OR-DIE battle.” The fine print: checking it auto-adds an extra $3,300 donation on 12/31.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

Q: Can you say any more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in a radio interview. Did the military do that?
TRUMP: Well, it doesn't matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. We hit the area.

Exactly what we expected
![Screenshot of article which reads: According to a report by the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel, minority-serving institution programs are unlawful because they award money to colleges and universities based on the percentage of students of a certain race. The report said such programs “effectively [employ] a racial quota by limiting institutional eligibility to schools with a certain racial composition” and should no longer be funded.
The report also deemed it unconstitutional that two scholarship providers, the United Negro College Fund and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, both of which award scholarships to students of a specific race, are given access to Free Application for Federal Student Aid data.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ozma3timm5c32fa7bimb4zaj/bafkreiagwy5bp74avvsezakkesczbszl4sj2gdrzbclxkmdk6gyemdy22y@jpeg)
