About shanen

Feeling kind of old these days, but still reading lots of books. These days it seems like you have to divide books into BT and PU, as in Before Trump and Post Unimaginable. Interesting BT example this week: A 2012 book called "Super Mario" about Nintendo, but on page 154 the author makes a joke about "odder than Bowser's Donald Trump ambitions." I'm sure it seemed funny at the time, but I'm not laughing much in these PU days. And no, I don't play computer games these years and I've never owned a Nintendo nor even played any of the Mario games, but it just shows how thoroughly #Brokeahontas had invaded our entire society that he appeared in so many books even when he was just a punchline that no one could take seriously.
