I started reading @patricknathan's IMAGE CONTROL this morning and it is so damn good that I wanted to post an image of a mind-altering paragraph but instead I'm going to ask you to just preorder the book because you simply must read it for yourself. https://www.subtextbooks.com/?q=h.tviewer&using_sb=status&qsb=keyword&qs=Patrick%20nathan https://t.co/awYPJolFUS

When We Cease to Understand the World

Benjamin Labatut

I can't help but think of Benjamin Labatut's book, When We Cease To Understand the World. The actions of the 3M executives in this piece are so horrific.

It also sort of reads like a Wes Anderson film that's narrated by a Bill Murray character and I, too, am really loving it. Happy pub day @markhaber713 !! https://t.co/5JLdOKSpao

I'm on a Gilded Age histories kick. Like Post-Reconstruction to pre-WW1. Open to any recommendations for books if you know anything interesting. Currently reading a Louis Brandeis biography and listening to @superwuster's The Curse of Bigness.
