Thankfully, Twitter has never been a reliable factor in presidential elections, or we’d be in the middle of a second Trump term after he easily steamrolled Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.

Junior Cannonballer Bibliophile bought Dick Lehr’s YA novel Trell on the recommendation of a bookseller, but it was her mom, LanierHgts, who really enjoyed it. “Perhaps it was my background in law or….because this book, while fictionalized, is based on a true story.” Which books appeal to your particular interests?

From Roxana: And just FYI, this is David Simon talking to NPR’s Ari Shapiro, not Ben Shapiro, which probably would’ve been a much shorter interviewer punctuated by no fewer than eight billion profanities hurled at Shapiro’s tiny, wife-drying husk.
