Just finished reading Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi. The novel was translated into English by Jonathan Wright.
It's quite a read. It makes you think. Yes, about what we, US taxpayers, have wrought on other people around the world and how now it's coming home. About the nature of people and communities and what is evil and who is responsible for the harm done among ourselves.
It's also just a good story. I highly recommend it. I listened to the Libro.fm audiobook, which was read by Edoardo Ballerini & Kaleo Griffith quite effectively.

i just listened to this & now i'm going to listen to it again. serious elevation.

I listened to some Ultravox (they were one of my favorites as a kid), so I decided to read what happened to Midge Ure, and I'm very happy to report that "midge ure allegations" doesn't seem to result in a slew of horrors.
Then I read a bit of an interview in which he sounds like a nice fellow, and now I'll stop before I ruin this wonderful moment in which my childhood hero is still one.

Someone there had devised an algorithm called "Daddy's Home."
And when a cellphone belonging to a child of a man on their list sent a text message, verified their target was in a house that he shared with his family… That's when the message would get set to the pilots to go ahead. And when the roof caved in, the young men and women in the targeting room listened in on those same cellphones. They heard how the strike went. They evaluated its success.
