Agree about the John Adams biopic. It’s a good way to get context without re-hashing the plot of Hamilton, but there are a few points of intersection, like when France asks for help with their revolution, that are fun to recognize.

If you don’t generally enjoy kid lit or fantasy, try her adult works like the Cormorant Strike mysteries (written pseudonymously as Robert Galbraith).

And even that is complicated! Older boomers - the ones who have already retired - have a decent chance of having a pension and therefore retirement.

These parties sound like a flock of meanest girls, tbh.

AUDI. Holy shit, Audi for the win.

Quiet subversion using Nina Simone as the background music for one ad in the first quarter.
