Reading Griftopia and I can't understand how all these assholes didn't go to jail. Oh that's right these assholes made rich people richer and so no one gets to go to jail when you make wealthy people wealthier.
📝 Spain 1-1 (p 3-4) Russia: Spain leave the party on penalties....could this really be England's time? Looks like a really good opportunity to cash in on all these big exits.
The #bookshop kobo.com sells lots of non-DRM eBooks! 
However, they also sell lots of DRM eBooks, all mixed together with the non-DRM, and no filter to sort them out 
This makes it very difficult to look for non-DRM books on #Kobo.
So, to solve this problem switching.social presents the Unofficial Kobo Search page, which lets you find non-DRM books available on your country's Kobo site:

@rbe_expert little stream of consciousness for ya :)
@rbe_expert I was just thinking how funny it is that some men would feel less like a man if they were unemployed or made less than their spouse. It is most likely a shit job but they feel a sense of worth if they make more than her and feel like that they are putting bread on the table.
I am the only one working for a paycheck in my family and I view myself as the big dumb mammal that brings home a paycheck. It's funny that it's not about the worth of the work only the worth of the bills.
