Inspired: An Activity Book for Writers
M. M. John
A tragic irony of our time is Joe Biden, whose political career was first inspired by John F. Kennedy and who framed his first presidential run on carrying his torch into a new era, seems barely guided by the lessons & legacy of the most important episode of JFK's career.

San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities
Michael Shellenberger
So the other recipient of the Twitter docs is the author of "San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities," ensuring the legitimately important parts of the story will remain ignored by > half of the political spectrum, and will remain tiresome culture war bickering. https://t.co/1A3pjrFmI4

American Marxism
Mark R. Levin
An important point from Ben Balthasar: being a lazy moron doesn't mean you're not dangerous. Liberals should pay attention. As Levin makes clear, you won't be spared in the 21st century Red Scare he's stoking. https://jacobinmag.com/2021/09/mark-levin-red-scare-mccarthyism-authoritarianism-anti-communism-american-marxism-book-review

Kissinger: 1923-1968: The Idealist
Niall Ferguson
Many left-leaning people will rationalise this: "I have the opposite position of Kissinger & Niall Ferguson? Good." But the right question to ask is, how is it that liberals and even some leftists have ended up to the right of both, and now overlap with Reagan and the neocons?

Hatchet
Gary Paulsen
I loved Hatchet as a kid, but never knew a thing about the man who wrote it, nor how many other kids had loved his work until he recently passed. This is a touching and fascinating tribute to Paulsen from @jonahwhatever. https://www.gawker.com/culture/gary-paulsen-understood-that-children-live-in-the-world

JFK: The Book of the Film
Oliver Stone
@BenBurgis writes about tech censorship and civil liberties all the time, @ChipGibbons89 is literally writing a book about FBI abuses, @AmPrestigePod has hours of Blob criticism, Oliver Stone's JFK doc was virtually only received positively (if at all) by Left media, etc. etc.
