Just finished "Concrete Rose" by Angie Thomas (I haven't yet read "The Hate U Give" but that's now high on my list of things to find). It's excellent, and in particular, an excellent treatise on positive masculinity in fiction form. It's not a super easy book to read emotionally, but is excellently written and deeply immersive. I don't have the perspective to know how it might land among teens like those it portrays, but I have a feeling it's true enough to life, and it held a lot of great wisdom for me.
CW for the book include murder, hard drugs, and parental abandonment.
I caught myself in a racist/classist habit of thought while reading that others night appreciate hearing about: early on I was mentally comparing it to "All my Rage" by Sabaa Tahir and wondering if/when we'd see the human cost of the drug dealing to the junkies, thinking that it would weaken the book not to include that angle. Why is that racist/classist? Because I'm always expecting books with hard drug dealers in them to show the ugly side of their business since it's been drilled into me that they're evil for the harm they cause, yet I never expect the same of characters who are bankers, financial analysts, health insurance claims adjudicators, police officers, etc. (Okay, maybe I do now look for that in police narratives). The point is, our society includes many people who as part of their jobs directly immiserate others, so why and I only concerned about that misery being brought up when it's drug dealers?

Machine Learning-Assisted Nano-imaging and Spectroscopy of Phase Coexistence in a Wide-Bandgap Semiconductor
Wide bandgap semiconductors with high room temperature mobilities are promising materials for high-power electronics. Stannate films provide wide bandgaps and optical transparency, although electron-phonon scattering can limit mobilities. In SrSnO3, epitaxial strain engineering stabilizes a high-mobility tetragonal phase at room temperature, resulting in a threefold increase in electron mobility among doped films. However, strain relaxation in thicker films leads to nanotextured coexistence of …

The details are not prett…

Four women testified that appellant forcibly raped them between 2000 and 2003. He would typically hand them a drink and within minutes they experienced symptoms of drugging and lost consciousness, waking up in tremendous pain and circumstances suggesting he had raped them.
The Underground Bunker The state's entire 42,000-word response to Danny Masterson's unrepentant criminal appeal
The next morning, appellant was gone. A friend picked up [Jane Doe 1] and took her to her car. [Jane Doe 1] said she and appellant had sex, but she did not mention the anal penetration. She was feeling confused, hurt, stunned, and “really, really ashamed.” Her anus burned for days, and she had pain on her right side. She went to the doctor for the pain on her side, but did not mention the anal penetration. She believed she was really drunk that night, not drugged. [Jane Doe 1] told her “very c…
