Happy Holi to all of Stroock's Books Hindu readers.
We write this from the new/old coffeeshop and all we see is ghosts of the previous owners, friends, and our children growing up here. We wrote and edited several novels at this local. We admit to getting emotional. We texted our feelings to the old owner, with whom we once organized and planned an expedition to retrieve Shackleton's scotch, and he replied, 'Pull yourself together, man.' The sat radio is tuned to 90's rock and we've already heard The Gin Blossoms, Hootie, and Dave Mathews. May god have mercy on our soul. The coffee is a little better today.
Today is 'Internatioanl Women's Day' and Stroock's Books is wondering what bad joke it should tell. Should we do an ironic tranz joke? Post a pinup shot? Top five TV hotties of our youth (that would be all the babes in the original Battlestar Galactica)? Rant against the matriarchy? I dunno. We have been having fun with Gab's AI photo generator sending, 'sexy Deanna Troi'. Gabby does not disappoint. [Moron-Ed]
Well of course Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (the worst Jew in America) was going to freakout over Tucker's airing of exculpatory J6 Mostly Peaceful Protest footage. But we expected better of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Or did we? This is the man who proclaimed that funding Neocon Victoria Nuland's war in Ukraine was a top priority for the GOP base. No it isn't. Watching Ukraine Mitch these last few months takes some of the sting out of last November's fiasco.
Commercial break: John Mayer selling cars. We were bever into John Mayer (he was a chick thing, right?). We never understood the point of a car into which one could plug one's electric guitar, but why not? Veedubs....kraut wankers. This is kind of cool:
We got sick of waiting for REDACTED to publish this article. It's been nearly two months. So enjoy 31 Days to Taipei: How China Won the Taiwan War Before It Began: '‘We shall suspend trade with the United States until the Taiwan situation reaches an equitable outcome,’ tweeted official Chinese government accounts and Chinese state media at 4 AM, Washington time. Millions of Chinese citizen and bot accounts retweeted and posted the message to other social media. In this way the Chinese government amplified its message to the world and the American people, bypassing the American media altogether. Few suspected the tweet was China’s opening move in the Taiwan War.' Click on through.
One of the worst things about your Taiwan story is that I can see it happening. Which is very sad.
