This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

You shouldn’t have to wait until something happens to you to start caring. Empathy isn’t supposed to be exclusive. It’s meant to reach beyond your personal experience.
It's time to wake up. What's happening in Los Angeles is not just about immigration or California. This is about defending the Constitutional freedoms of everyone in every state.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it?

But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️

@aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

Currently immersive reading Natural Beauty By Ling Ling Huang & for it being her first novel…. It’s quite a masterpiece. The prose… the underlying messages and the atmospheric writing … it’s all very well executed so far.

Bought UK books from Waterstones & Blackwell’s thinking I was doing great by not supporting Amazon… then thought to ask/look up & learned they’re owned by a US hedge fund that donated heavily to conservative PACs & lots in lobbying. 😞 Guess it’s indie bookshops and the library from here on out.

It takes great courage to publish a novel that shines a light on the empire so many succumb to without resistance, especially during the political turmoil we’re living through.
Immersive reading will be fun as the author @karenhao.bsky.social narrates the audiobook! www.youtube.com/live/NtQCthF...

Sam Altman isn't keen on you reading my book. EMPIRE OF AI is based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, and my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order here: empireofai.com.

Reading: The fire next time by James Baldwin. He mentioned Fyodor Dostoyevsky, so now inevitably I will go down this road of reading his books too. 📚

I saw somewhere to try to read these in this order:

1. Crime & Punishment
2. Notes From Underground
3. Demons
4. The Idiot
5. The Brothers Karamazov

Latest book haul. In my house, we don’t call it CRT. We call it history, and we learn about the things that define us as people.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
