This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

I'm in this weird but short transition where I'm finishing a bunch of projects, traveling for the holidays a lot, and still figure out how to keep pushing to the next thing/manuscript. I find that a lot of my mental health is tied-up in my ability to keep working.
Which means a new manuscript soon.

By the week, Threads turns more and more into a conflict-churn. Meta has found a way to create a text platform that is as much old-Twitter as anything else, but unless you retrain your algorithm (and I have doubts about how much), it is a cultural warzone.
Which seems to be what Meta wants.
