Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you.

One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Please be mindful of the videos you watch, the accounts you follow and the blogs you read.

It’s very easy to fall into a political paranoia spiral in such a low-trust media environment.

Do you remember this 2016 @forbes.com cover?

It’s actually a very interesting read. It provides wonderful insight on how narratives are constructed.

It does this before the article even starts. The cover itself is a great lesson.

Jared Kushner did not get Trump elected in 2016–

Steve Bannon did.

“Defund the ACLU”’s implicit argument is to kneecap an organization that’s dedicated to preserving individual liberty and upholding the Constitution.

I’m fairly certain that Musk is not referring to his desire to give up his own.

This is the same concept that plaintiffs had to push back against with the Ninth Circuit’s ruling in Jewel v. NSA.

It’s an argument that stands in direct opposition to civil rights.

I don’t know how this is considered an acceptable position that isn’t in conflict with Constitutionality.

I still think about this Reddit post and so I had to share it here.

Here’s my response:

Discrimination is unjust treatment; it’s prejudicial behavior. Injustice is never necessary.
