New Yorker magazine. cool article on "paying attention" and just how bad the inability to effectively do so has gotten. researchers now say that the average "doom-scrolling" cell phone user has an attention span of just over 8 seconds...about the same as a goldfish. 
neat stuff in the same article about the "Order of the Third Bird", which i had never heard of before.

next one alot of pics should cruise through it
Mostly more than one, but in the moment on the toilet, the war diary of the OKW, (high command of the Wehrmacht).
damn that would take me forever to read. i love history been diggin deep trying to understand it all the wars and geopolitics why the world is the way it is today. seems a certain family's been running the show since the 16th century some say they are worth as much as 15 trillion

Yes, it needs a lot of time, but I want to know all perspectives for historical reasons. In the diarys I always have to think, what the dry or technichal language, in reality means, pain, death and nothing good.
I don't know if some familys got the profit, but defintifly the majority pays the bill.
Traumatized is to much, but born 19 years after WW2 and grown up by war storys from grandpa about WW1, history marks me and I have a focus on war books and good quality war novels.
Before some days I finshed " Dispatches" from Michael Herr about Vietnam for the 2nd or 3rd time.
Just finished Stephen King's "Holly." Got it for Christmas. Good crime novel. I enjoyed every bit.
User @Unca Walt has written a few books worth checking out
I was reading a lot Stephen King, love his storys mostly, and got a lot of memorys where or when in my lifetime since sround 1985. One of the first, if not the first was a short story about a guy, drug smuggler, with a broken leg on a very small, more rock than island. If I rember right, he shoot the stuff and eat parts of his body.
The Long Walk was a good story by King, should be made into a movie.
Yeah I liked that one. That's a Bachman book. Running Man is too
Inside the Maze..
Escapes, riots, dirty protests, hunger strikes and a few stiffings which fed a propaganda war..
Was built to hold political prisoners involved in acts of terrorism and murder, much more compelling than the glorified made up nonsense I read previously.

Jay Stevens died today. Great author and this is an outstanding book I read many years ago.
Pre-ordered last fall to read on a vacation, arrived a few hours after I left.. still looking to start.
Written by Alex Van Halen, a love letter as they say to his departed brother Ed.
re-reading one i've had for years ( "the third wave" by Toffler) while waiting to gain possession of one i've ordered which is ""Night of Camp David" written in 1965 by Fletcher Knebel. between the two, they pretty much describe what we are going through today.
And people keep calling it a conspiracy theory yet conspiracy theorists are 9 for 9 or possibly 10 for 10.re-reading one i've had for years ( "the third wave" by Toffler) while waiting to gain possession of one i've ordered which is ""Night of Camp David" written in 1965 by Fletcher Knebel. between the two, they pretty much describe what we are going through today.
