2025 reading thread!

Can you guess which book (of 25) in January 2025 was my favorite (and my least favorite) ?

“The Art Thief” by Michael Finkel and “James” by Percival Everett

It’s even more extreme than that if you want full self-sufficiency. The average US diet requires ~2 acres of land (cropland + pasture)/person/year. So a family of 4 would need ~8 acres.

(It’s less if you eat more plants/fewer animal proteins than avg American, but it’s still a looooot of land.)
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Andrew Cuomo and everyone on his political team are virulent gutter racists. This is disgusting trash. Eternal shame.
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

Vote Mamdani because Cuomo is going to help your employer replace you with AI slop

It should be career-ending for the House minority leader being unwilling to endorse the (wildly popular) Democratic nominee for New York City mayor.

"It's OK, they were 14" is getting really tired.
After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Normal capitalist greed is probably the answer but that’s unsatisfying.
If wot was cancelled because of politics, good. That means it was too much for the status quo. Too loud. Too full of women. Too queer. Too full of actors, crew, etc. speaking out against injustice and genocide. I think if I believe that’s really why, I can sleep better at night.

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

During recent attacks against diverse books in libraries and schools, very few experts on children's books were consulted.

It's the same with AI and writing: scholars of composition and rhetoric have spent decades thinking about these matters!

How about consulting high school English teachers?

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

Tonight on a NY1 interview, Andrew Cuomo described Zohran Mamdani as "an existential threat" to New Yorkers and the Democratic Party. I can't say strongly enough that this is despicable, dangerous, irresponsible language. I've never held Cuomo in high esteem; let this election be his banishment.

Two notable fantasy shows were cancelled by the streaming services over the last few years -- #WarriorNun and #TheWheelOfTime -- and both of those topped our recent poll of cancelled all-stars that people want to come back.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.
lol I didn’t see it but now I’m pretending you just loved it so much you had to do it twice ;)
