Hah! I used to work at Powell's Books in Portland, OR, one of the biggest, arguably the biggest physical bookstore in the country. When I got hired there in 1989 you had to have a strong knowledge of books and the sections they were in since none of it was on computers then. We had people who wandered the aisles helping people find the books they wanted. One woman who I became friends with had a tag on her shirt, Ms. Information. Thankfully nothing like the character above.

You may well have asked Mrs Quandry and I if we needed help finding a book while we were just there for a cheap date.

This sounds reasonable enough, especially in light of FDR’s hold on the office. Yet those who supported the amendment more than 70 years ago could not have foreseen the prospect of a one-term president who lost the office but who later regained it in a subsequent election. Grover Cleveland remains the only president to have successfully vaulted himself to the White House in nonconsecutive elections, in 1884 and in 1892. (Theodore Roosevelt, president from 1901 to 1909, also gave it a try by running as the Progressive Party standard-bearer in 1912.)
So the authors of the amendment passed in 1947 could not have foreseen what happened in 1892?

Orangey gets a break. Nothing will happen to his properties until at least September.

I still fucking hate that every single time, he is treated differently. His bond should never have been reduced.

Truth Social shares go into freefall after investors learn how much money it really makes

Shares in the firm plummeted by more than 15 percent in the hours after it released its financial statement, thus shaving billions of dollars off its market cap.

As of noon on Monday, the shares were trading in the $51 range, after having closed at just under $62 the previous trading day.


As Forbes reports, this development has taken an axe to former President Donald Trump's personal stake in the firm, which some observers speculated he would use to help pay off his considerable legal bills.

" Trump, who owns 78.5 million shares in Trump Media, about 57% of all outstanding shares, accordingly had his stake in the social media venture slide from its peak of $6.25 billion to Monday’s $4.25 billion," the publication writes.
