This book is such a great read
There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.
One of many moments in Omar El Akkadβs new book, βOne Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,β that will stop you in your tracks.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.
Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.
We cannot stay silent.
the great irony here is that most U.S. "publicly funded" news orgs barely get any public funding. As a result they're feckless shadows of the full potential of publicly funded journalism, while still being portrayed as some sort of demonic socialist caricatures by authoritarian zealots
Welp, here it is. World Athletics is going back to mandatory sex testing for all women. This is something that was done for years, but abandoned in the 1990's because it was invasive, discriminatory, and also useless. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...
Itβs fantastic

A graphic with the header "Southern gothic horror novelette". Below to the left is the cover of Reap, Sow, featuring an angry, elderly woman half enshrouded in shadow beside text from author blurbs praising Reap, Sow as addictive, atmospheric, gripping, terrifying, and a masterwork of dread and tension. Across the bottom is the text, "Available on Amazon".
