I read a strange, fascinating book last week: THE FALLING TOWER by Meg Moseman. It featured 4 genius college kids calling up Charles Williams and together defeating an evil AI corporation called Babel. It was almost a work of genius. Alas, it fell down in the end. #reading #books #Inklings

PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK is an astonishing documentary, not least because it is video calls filmed on another phone. Its main participant, Fatima Hassouna, died in an Israeli airstrike the day after the film was accepted to Cannes. I urge you to see it.

What do you think is the biggest problem with public rhetoric in America today?
1. Too much hate and rage
2. Dehumanizing language
3. Lies & fake news
4. Not enough rage against evil
...something else?
