When We Cease to Understand the World

Benjamin Labatut

Dan Chibnall

I recently read Benjamín Labatut's new book "When We Cease to Understand the World" and it is easily the best book I've read this year. It's a series of fictionalized chapters about major scientific discoveries. Vox had a great podcast episode about it. https://overcast.fm/+qXyVmTboI https://t.co/3UqicOIlff

Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution

Elie Mystal

Dan Chibnall

Finished @ElieNYC's brilliant book. He's talking about the 8th Amendment here, but this applies to the whole Constitution. We know things the Founders didn't, so let's act on our knowledge. The shooting in Texas is proof again we cannot have this many guns & have a safe society.
