A quotation from Terry Pratchett

One of the hardest lessons of young Sam’s life had been finding out that the people in charge weren’t in charge. It had been finding out that governments were not, on the whole, staffed by people who had a grip, and that plans were what people made instead of thinking.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 29, Night Watch (2002)

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

I’m not going to tell you much more of the case, Doctor. You know a conjurer gets no credit once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1886-04), “A Study in Scarlet,” Part 1, ch. 4 [Holmes], Beeton’s Christmas Annual, Vol. 28 (1887-11-21)

How and where #Americans get #informed has broken into scores of pieces — from young men on #JoeRogan's #podcasts, to #suburban #women following #Instagram #influencers.

#VicePresident #KamalaHarris reached more young #women on #AlexCooper's "#CallHerDaddy" #podcast, a show about #sex and #relationships, than she could on #CBS' "#60Minutes" and #ABC's "#TheView" combined. Both shows skew older, too.
