Wtf kind if black magic is going on in this Kobo Glo? I added books 8 through 12 with the series name "Pay-Changeling", and it seems to have fuzzy matched that to the pre-existing files with obnoxious metadata (series name: "A Psy-Changeling Novel"), which is honestly kinda convenient, but I have it sorted by book number, and the order is somehow 7, 10, 8, 9, 11, 12? And what the series field says doesn't seem to be a factor?

Okay wait... I deleted the #12 I added because there was already a Kodo ePub of it, so it seems "A Psy-Changeling Novel" is the series name when purchased from Kobo. It also seems that "Psy-Changeling Novel, A" is the actual string from the purchased copy of #7. I just assumed the reader itself was doing that 🤦. So its sorting by book number numerically, but only after sorting by series name... in reverse alphabetical order!? All of this in spite of the fact that it correctly assumed that these different strings all refer to the same series? I hate everyone and everything (these are my s/o's books, but I've become fully invested in properly formatting every import lmao. I'm about to replace these purchased copies with downloads from libgen and edit the metadata in Calibre to make it all make sense 😭).

The thing I can’t handle right now is that nobody stops talking about him. It’s constant. He did this atrocity. He shut down that department. He ignored that law. Just constant. News sites. Social media. My own spouse. All day, wake to sleep.

My opposition and resistance to him doesn’t require, and arguably is severely harmed by, hyperawareness of every single offense. #uspol #uspolitics #madness

Is this the new normal? Wearing a sign of whoever you support on your forehead? I wonder if the signs that Rubio is part of a US administration making the Ukrainian war easier for Russia or that he supports genocide in Gaza are on the back of his head? Maybe he just has a huge dollar sign to show that he is for sale?

Rep Jamie Raskin, "a Democrat from Maryland, said his constituents are outraged that military families have been subjected to censorship. “One asked a school official why they removed photos on the walls of Susan B. Anthony and Dr. King but not Leonardo DaVinci and was told: ‘He was a real historical figure’.”
