I got Derek Delgaudio's AMORALMAN for my birthday last weekend and I tore through it, finished it in less than a week (got a new lamp to read by as well, which helped).
I enjoyed it quite a bit, and would recommend it

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

Systemically, I think we should be improving affordability, building housing out massively, removing tariffs, putting pressure on healthcare costs, increasing the minimum wage
Personally, I think it's bad for everyone's mental health to constantly think about what we don't have and can't afford

"my position of 'I should have more candy and the other kids should have less candy and be beaten with sticks' made me unpopular in elementary school, but Scalia helped me find the courage to withstand the scorn of my peers as I bravely told my truth"
JUSTICE BRETT KAVANAUGH:
“[Scalia] taught us … what it meant to have a backbone, what it meant to withstand withering criticism, what it meant to be fearless, what it meant to stand up for his principles even when they weren’t popular. Especially when they weren’t popular.”

People are saying that AI is dangerous and access should maybe be restricted and I think that logic should extend to all applications of multiple regression

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Some people read this as a condemnation of people, but for me this transparent reality has always been an indication of the moral imperative to improve circumstances to allow for people's better natures to win the day.

In his excellent sci-fi/action trilogy "The Breach," Patrick Lee's thesis was that under the right circumstances, anybody can become the worst person in the world. (Some may require far more circumstances than others...)
And that's when we get to political science. It is a question of intent.
