Friday reminder: Complexity is your enemy. Anyone can make something complicated. It’s hard to keep things simple, but it’s absolutely necessary.

I thought I'd just do a quick newsletter today, but it got wildly out of hand. Book recommendations (not just my own book!), @bellingcat.com's geolocation challenge, Beethoven 9th. There was barely room for other interesting links but of course they're there too. open.substack.com/pub/mixture/...
Book recommendations and geolocation
There’s just a lot happening right now. Books, science gifts, geolocation puzzle hunts, concerts and more.

My career highlight as a journalist: being invited to the Rothschild's chateau in France; being seated next to Philippe Sereys de Rothschild at dinner. @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com @jonnelledge.bsky.social @yuanyiz.bsky.social sorry I'm just showing off at this point

Being a woman in public is having to change seats on a train because a creepy man won't stop staring at you.
