Just finished The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie 📚
This is the 10th book in The First Law world, and the finale of The Age of Madness. (Also the 6th book of Joe’s I read this year!)
Phew! Epic! Done! So good!

If you have Canadian ancestry you may be eligible for citizenship by descent.
I need to look into it some more but this is amazing.

Hello! There's a new @neverpo.st out today! In this episode, Dexter Thomas of the pod kill switch talks w/ Jeremy Busby, who has served ~25 years of a 75 year prison sentence, and – with the help of a tenuous internet connection – become a journalist while inside. It's an incredible conversation.
