This doesn’t seem to actually be Project 2025

I thought I was actually going to be listening to Project 2025, but this seems to be some kind of abridged summary that doesn’t actually go into any detail of policy. It will say something like, “We want to help teachers,” but doesn’t say what that means. It all seemed so vague. It talks about their policies, but doesn’t give any details about those policies and how they work. As someone else said, you’re going to have to get Siri to read you the entire document. I wish they’d turn the ACTUAL project 2025 into an audiobook.

This was one of my favorite books of the year. I might be biased because I was a TNG fan growing up. TNG is only a portion of the book, with most of it being his years coming up as a Shakespearean actor, BUT that was a major portion of Stewart’s life, far more years were spent doing that than Star Trek. Normally, as someone not entrenched in Shakespeare, that would have bored me, but Stewart so eloquently tells the stories of those years that you feel the excitement he did of him rising through the ranks of British theater. This book was very much with the read.

Just finished a book that has been on my to do list for quite some time and with Loretta’s passing, I figured it was time to pull that trigger. I love Loretta, but the book was ok. It was an easy read and kudos to Loretta for writing in such a conversational style (Sissy Spaces reading this audiobook was a nice touch). But the writing in general was a bit chaotic. It didn’t seem as much like a biographical narrative as much as Loretta just waxing on various facets of her life as an artist, which is still cool because it gives insight into who she was. I don’t think one can take her as a 100% reliable narrator of her own life as there are several contradictions. There’s also a lot of stuff about Loretta holding seances and talking about her own ESP. Overall, I enjoyed the read, and I love Loretta Lynn, but I’d have liked to have heard more about her time with Tubb and Conway and the specifics on writing her hits and less about her bus driver and Doo fixing up the ranch.
