Truly awful advice. I knew this was dumb as a doctor that owns like 5 medical reference books. But I sent it to my wife who is a librarian (archivist specifically) and here is her reply, way better than what I could come up with:
k2b: da man stole mah bloggy!!!!!!!

Note to self: when writing stories set in this era of U.S. history, "sophisticated" means "superficial" when it comes to "artifacts" of "the Before Times" like books.
Exactly. I live in a home, not some kind of stage set. Admittedly, my home is too small to have a dedicated “home office”, I don’t have a job that requires Zoom meetings and my family cares more about what my wife and I have to say than the décor.
This only makes sense if a book’s sole value to you is its decorating potential based on the colour of its spine :(
This is all wrong. A real adult has piles of books stacked in every corner and on every flat surface and they are definitely not arranged by color. The mere suggestion is an abomination. A real adult orders their books by rough subject or at the very least by purchase date - oldest at the bottom of the oldest pile.…
Arranging books by colour is book arranging for people who do not read!

Trump is an “Alpha Male” to a bunch of Betas with gross and toxic ideas of what Alpha really is.
I wish I could explain menopause to every man who has tried to suggest that a post-menopausal woman is unfit to lead because periods.
I can confirm that our goal is absolutely a full-blown matriarchy. First we gain the presidency, then we start oppressing the men.
We start passing laws on what elective medical procedures they can have to erode their bodily autonomy, pay them less so they’re more dependent on us, only test medication on women so it’s …
Man here.
Physiology note: Harris may or may not have gone through menopause by 54. My great grandmother had her last child at 52, and my mother and sister both stopped menstruating around 59. I’m 49 and there doesn’t seem to be an immediate end in sight.
It still blows my mind how anyone can see Trump as an “Alpha male". Even back in his salad days he was an obnoxious little shit. Who looks at a morbidly obese elderly man with an undead roadkill toupee, cameltoe neck, ridiculously tacky ill-fitting clothes and orange pancake makeup that’s applied with a trowel, and…
Plus if those wusses think HRC was still getting her period when she was running for president, our sex education system sucks.
Men have a daily hormone cycle. Women, once a month.
The warning they’ve posted on the user blogs says:
When I started here, I was under the mistaken impression that Oppo had been killed a while back. I was relieved to…
This begs the question, does every new president get a new mattress? I’m sure that the base furniture doesn’t change unless requested, but you couldn’t pay me to sleep in a bed Trump has slept in, even if it was fumigated. And imagine the huge dent from the springs being compressed on one side.
So it’ll be like one of those foreclosure “let’s trash the place before we go” situations. Sad.
