An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight it …
Not even to the “how insurance doesn’t work” chapter yet and I’m already thinking about how to get my neighbors/friends to make our own insurance company.

To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was enjoying this book in the first 100 or so pages. As it progressed though and a lot more of the character's personalities and backgrounds started to become clear (and interconnected), I think this book really started to shine and by the end of it I really did not want to have to put it down and start a new book.
Keiko Furukura had always been considered a strange child, and her parents always worried how …
I enjoyed this! I think everyone has the routines in life they get joy from and wants to do them well. Some things just come naturally to others. Personally I enjoy more variety and change (and social life) and so it was slightly harder to relate to Keiko, but I appreciate the aspects of having a calling, whatever that might be. The societal stuff got kinda incel/red pill-ish at times, especially with Shiraha and I don’t really understand the point of his character and ultimately what purpose he served other than to be a person I rooted against in the book. It’s a quick read and I pretty much knocked it out in one sitting.
A scholar of American Christianity presents a seventy-five-year history of evangelicalism that identifies the forces …
I think while an important book to read, it is extremely difficult for me personally to read this book given the current state of everything. I’m already against the current state of religion in American politics, and while again understanding how we got to this point is important, currently I do not need to need to be sold more reasons to be upset about this. Highly recommend if you are interested in learning more about this, but just not the right time for me to read this book.

the victim complex at play here with evangelical christians in america is insane. i have seen this in person by a majority (NOT ALL) of people i know who identify as even just christian in america. they need to be under attack in order to be secure in their faith.
An unsparing investigation into Spotify’s origins and influence on music, weaving unprecedented reporting with incisive …
A really in depth report through Spotify of how the music streaming industry kicked off and how it has impacted musicians through the years. My own music listening habits on Apple Music are being questioned. Loved the ending section about libraries and how they can help alleviate some of the issues of creating art in a capitalist system.
“The problems faced by musicians, like those faced elsewhere in society, aren’t technological problems: they’re problems of power and labor.”

this book is really making me reconsider my music streaming habits. I’ve converted to Bandcamp as a way to buy tracks for DJing that directly supports the artists and gives me a high quality DRM-free file, but it’s convincing me more with every page that maybe I should move more of my day to day listening habits to the music I own on Bandcamp instead of Apple Music

how did I not put two and two together?
spotify. ad spots. they were advertising tech bros in search of a format to sell ads against.
they ad spot-ified our music listening experience.

Really enjoy this as a quick read and it’s been a while since I’ve read it so it’s good to refresh up on a lot of the stuff I was slacking on
