: Joe loved
Temi Oh's near-future novel More Perfect from Simon & Schuster, filled with moral grey areas over new tech & personal freedom, which feeds the drama in a staitsfying manner. Temi is one of the new writing voices to watch out for.

I finished reading "Dilla Time" by Dan Charnas and it was an excellent read! It covers the complicated music, more complicated life, tragic death, and lasting influence of the late great James Dewitt Yancey bka J Dilla or Jay Dee. Thoroughly recommended 🙌🏿

"Sometimes these boys were so close together it was like they were cigarettes I lit from the end of the one I was smoking. I thought that list would go on forever."

Amy Key, on the list of boys she kissed, cataloged in her diary between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. From the wonderful memoir, "Arrangements in Blue: Notes on Loving and Living Alone".

I’m reading Stan Grant’s “The Queen is Dead” –it is such a complex (yet easy to read), profound book. Not just for his observations on the decaying hegemony of western whiteness, but also for his perceptive analysis of China. He’s right that the definition of white is cultural, not descriptive + that fear of China is that it is a mirror, its future is the west’s past

Murió el británico Martin Amis. Que todos los señoros literarios escribieran tan bien como él lo hizo.
📚
British novelist has died. Would that all male, white entitled could write as well as he did.

:

There are others, but these six books explain why (if truly want life, liberty and happiness as citizens of the USA), we must replace our current form of government with one that prioritizes .

1) The basic structure of the US government makes democracy impossible.

"We the Elites", By Robert Ovetz explains how the US constitution protects property FROM democracy.

2) Money is Power Corporate/Oligarch money completely undermines the people's power.

"Dark Money", by Jane Meyer explains the role of dark money in electoral politics.

"The Business of America is Lobbying", by Lee Drutman explains how money effects legislation.

3) Law and Enforcement

"Supreme Inequality" by Adam Cohen exposes the anti-democratic and pro-capital bent of the Supreme Court.

"Our Enemies in Blue" by Kristian Williams the power of the police state.

"Rise of the Warrior Cop" By Radly Balko exposes the radical militarization of policing in America.
