Young Jane Austen was both audacious and hilarious. She wrote this littlest book when she was only 16 and calls herself "a partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian". Nice illustrations by her sister Cassandra.

Not yet published in US. A dear friend visited UK and gifted me with a signed copy of @willdalrymple.bsky.social William Dalrymple's amazing latest book, The Golden Road. Just finished reading. Particularly *loved* the sections on Xuanzang and the Pallavas and Mamallapuram. Notes to follow soon.

I was mentioning that there was going to be an inventory problem. First it was used car supply, now it is new vehicles.
Spikes/uncertainties in demand are bad for inventory planning. Excess inventories means locking up cash. Low inventories means suffering shortages.

Amazing book. Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn recommended by my kids. (LMNOP)
A whole town goes into disarray as they drop random letters in speech in bowing to one man. A timely commentary on free speech, disbelief, rumors and fall of logic in totalitarian rulings.

The question alluded in the news article -- Are platform moderation strategies dependent on the outcome of elections? -- is a good research question.

what an unkind headline by a newspaper that is better than this, written, within a day of his passing -- for a kind man who embodied the best in us.

"The Vegetarian" is an amazing book & the most memorable fiction I read in the recent years. A young, inspired choice (like the other Nobel categories this year). Despite all chaos, we are truly exploring new horizons in art and science.
