I have been reading the Financial Times lately, which, though personally expensive, is worth it for me as a sociologist.
It is MUCH more informative than even a cursory read of something like NYT even as a dissident.
Reason is because the capitalist class spells out their thinking clearly.

Please, please give the book a shoutout wherever you can! It turns out to be one of the best books yet written and too few people know this.

Just want to put this one here. A memoir of working alongside Noam Chomsky. It is a diamond in the rough, and I highly recommend it.

Study what you find interesting, because none of us are guaranteed a future anyway. And if you think the humanities and history do not matter, think about all the people invested in trying to stop you from studying them, and ask why.
