This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity.
It may be one of the very best depictions of the present moment.

Books Received:
David Graeber, The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World.
A collection of his later essays edited by Rebecca Solnit.

David Graeber was one of the more original and insightful public intellectuals (So is Solnit, incidentally). Very much looking forward to giving this a read.
