the number of customers it has and its monopoly status have no relation
Every person on Earth could buy one ticket from them, and then 50 tickets from the competitors
I understand that they got that many users by being a monopoly, but don't "pile on" using apples and oranges just for the sake of a headline

"The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" - V.E. Schwab
Absolutely amazing, must-read...for the first 3/4
A little disappointed with how the author chose to end the story, but I can see how it fits.
Maybe when I little it roll around inside my head for a little while I'll be happier with it
Still, the best book I've read in quite a while!

1. Who is this Congressperson asking the questions?
2. Blinken says "that's not something we have done. Ukraine will have to make these decisions"
3. The Congressman again says, "You've made these restrictions" but never says what these "restrictions" actually are that he's talking about
4. How do you explain the multiple drone strikes inside Russia?
---
Answer to number 1: He is Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas
So Blinken and McCaul are making opposite claims

The US doesn't "give permission" to Ukraine to do things
That's a very weak understanding of the relationship
Ukraine has been sending drones inside Russia for quite some time now. They can certainly shoot down bombers near the border & wouldn't care who said anything about it (nor would the US complain in this sort of case)

Switched briefly to non-fiction with "In The Hurricane's Eye" - Nathaniel Philbrick
The events leading to the defeat of the British at Yorktown, with a strong emphasis on the naval aspects

Almost embarrassed to say this but...TIL Lafayette was one of Washington's _infantry_ commanders, not a naval commander.
We [Americans] all learn how the French navy came to our rescue, and that Lafayette was a key person, and I'd just grown up assuming he was the fleet admiral.

Random Pro Life Tip for
Westerners traveling in Korea who can read Japanese katakana
Use the katakana readings when you can, not the English transliterations
The English is *nothing* like how to pronounce Korean, but the JP katakana is quite close
(Best, of course, is to learn Hangul if you have time)

Mathew Olshan's "Marshlands"
Short novel, but even so I read it in two sittings, it flowed that well.
I didn't really know what it was about and so the first section was made that much more mysterious and magical, trying to understand things in the same way the main character was.
The book gets heavier later on as it becomes more clear what the subject matter is.
My only spoiler will be, if scenes of violence bother you, you may want to pass on this one.

Christy Lefteri is a true wordsmith worthy of being read just for her ability.
On top of that, I would call her the "Margaret Atwood for refuges and migrants", telling important stories in a way that make people see the world differently
