I'm a fan of annotating books. Any text once read is not just the text. It is always altered through the lens of you.
The book in front of you is not the text—just a way of conveying it. Just as translation is always a conversation so is consumption. Why not reflect that in the copy before you.

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

My peeves are from a different biome and require so much enrichment and maintenance that I'd recommend against them.
My peeves are absolutely feral.

You can't live your life based on hate - that way lies madness and bitterness - but allowing yourself to slip into hater mode from time to time is a lovely little treat, like a drunk cigarette or a decadent slice of cake
