  1. Since the US/Israeli war on #Iran began, this passage from #TheGreatGatsby has been widely quoted. But I'm uncomfortable.

    Sure, this clearly applies to #Trump. The fate of people bombed or displaced doesn't concern him at all.

    But it also applies to anyone with so much military power. Every #POTUS has been a careless killer.

    The liberal American story of Trump shaming the #USA is false. There is no virtuous incarnation of the violent empire. Trump just omits the usual spin.

  2. I recently discovered that the BBC has a bunch of classic books in audiobook format free to listen. I've been listening to Jane Austen novels 'Persuasion' and 'Pride and Prejudice' over the past couple of weeks while I cross stitch. A nice distraction from current events if you enjoy this type of novel. Next week be 'The Great Gatsby'.

    They're a bit scattered, so a couple of links below:

  3. I have another review for #NetGalley finally, this time a Gatsby retelling. This book came out two months ago and I've had the review copy for months longer still, but only had time to read and review it this month.

    Also worth mentioning that I accidentally overwrote my last review when I published this on my website and had to revive the other one in a hurry. Good thing I pasted the review in full on NetGalley so I could copy and paste it again...lol

    Anyway, this book was stunning. Probably one of my favourites for the whole year. If you love Gatsby in any way (or had a lot of run with Nghi Vo's retelling, this novel is an absolute must.

  7. "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." (#TheGreatGatsby)

See: Tone deaf As the clock struck 12 and #SNAP benefits went dead for MILLIONS of #Americans, a majority of their OWN MAGA VOTERS, Trump held a #TheGreatGatsby style show complete with 21st century flapper girls! The majority may not have been there, but they CAN stop this NOW!

  10. I never liked the USA and the Americans for this reason destroying the memories of the past, even important ones, to make room for business!

  11. “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
    "The Great Gatsby" was published 100 years ago today. @npr looks at the continued relevance of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, with its commentary on immigration, race, class, and the liberated "new woman."

    What do we mean by uncertainty? And why do we want to look for it?

    This episode, we scour from jazz music to Rubik's Cubes, and from Gatsby to Ellison, from Obama to Carroll, to make sense of it. And there's nothing less than world transformation at stake.
