Book review #19 for 2024 is Michael D'Antonio's Milton S. Hershey's Extraordinary Life of Wealth, Empire, and Utopian Dreams. A good introduction to the life, times, and legacy of Milton S Hershey. It is a sympathetic telling of Hershey and his life, but it does not shy away from the numerous conflicts and challenges, personal and professional, that were part of his life and work. #books#bookstodon#hersheychocolate#nonfiction@bookstodon@books A☕☕☕☕review
I write python in shell. Literally. I made a shell function file (pnk.lang) that prints correct python code. The capital letters in the shell function’s name, my Tkinter IDE turns into color as you see above. So I let the color (capital letter) abstract away indentation for my brain. The second letter is for category of python code according to me. Again using color to allow me to think. I dont like Python syntax. I looks ugly to me. So I made this tool to make coding colorful, succint and fun for me. It reduces my eye strain among many other personal benefits.
Do you realize how many talented artists are out there that never see the light of day of success just because they do not have the capital, connections, or luck to break through? I don’t think most people are saying she doesn’t have any talent at all. What people are saying is she owes her initial success to the money and connections her dad has. And it’s not even the common stroke of luck that other successful artists get. She was even way ahead. And having that initial success can make or break an artist’s career. Talent can then carry you moving forward.
Nobody is saying she’s a hack who was only successful because of daddy’s money. They’re saying she got a very good headstart and hit the ground running. It’s primarily directed at people who claim she got there on talent alone. It’s like saying Bezos or Musk built their empire from scratch, while forgetting they had the benefit of having huge initial capital from their parents.
Btw, getting to #19 on mainstream charts is not trivial.

Exhibit #19,432,181 for ACAB… the best to be said is at least it’s not being covered up yet. It remains to be seen whether or not the officer will suffer any consequences.
