🚽 Article: The Toilet Theory of the Internet | Charlie Warzel
TLDR: Decent framing of and light exploration into Google's shift to providing LLM generated results & deprioritizing links to the actual content.
👽 Book: Aliens: Bishop | by T.R. Napper
Why I liked it: I'm a sucker for the Alien/Predator universe content, and this was a cool one-off. Shld be a fun read/listen if folks want one multiverse explanation of what happened to everyone's fave synth.
🌍 Article: The Coming Entropy Of Our World Order | Parag Khanna
Thoughts: The title kind of says it all.

🥸 Book: Strangers in Their Own Land | Arlie Russell Hochschild
TLDR: Sociologist Arlie Hochschild spent five years visiting and interviewing the Lake Charles area of Southern Louisiana to explore the political motivations and social frustrations of right-wing voters following the 2016 election. Hochschild approaches the subject with a non-partisan appeal to humanity in an attempt at understanding the evolution of right-wing populism following the collapse of the Tea Party movement.
🕴️ Book Series: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen | Alan Moore
TLDR: Alan Moore's graphic novel series about the adventures of various classic literature protagonists as they assist British Intelligence in countering supernatural threats. Pitched as "the Justice League of Victorian England", Moore creates a multi-verse of literary characters that explore the otherworldly and occult and has served as an inspiration to fellow writers such as Neil Gaiman and Warren Ellis.
