Image Control: Art, Fascism, and the Right to Resist
Patrick Nathan
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.

M Is for Mountain State: A West Virginia Alphabet
Mary Ann McCabe Riehle
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

The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age
Tim Wu
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.
