An easy to read/listen to expose on the leadership at Facebook. No surprises, really, just confirms my biases.

Greg Grossmeier finished reading Why people die by suicide by Thomas E. Joiner
Content warning Book on the topic of suicide
Quick read (listen) for me. I appreciated his synthesis of the current understanding, along with his very personal understanding (parental/father).
Greg Grossmeier rated Alien Clay: 5 stars
Greg Grossmeier finished reading Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky
I really enjoyed this story. A nice combination of bio-scifi in an otherwise realistic far future (that has "freeze drying" of people for long travel, but otherwise no FTL travel). The main surprise/climax/reveal was the kind of story I needed to hear right now, so thanks, universe, for the synchronicity.

Notably, and a nice intersection between my worlds, I came across this article on how Wikipedia is lacking in its autism coverage: thinkingautismguide.com/2024/11/how-wikipedia-systematically-misleads-people-about-autism.html
Greg Grossmeier finished reading NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman
What is autism? A lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin …
Having not really read any general audience books about autism (surprisingly) I found the overview of the historical context of autism helpful.
It also introduced me to a few new orgs that I hadn't heard of before, which is nice.
