I am reading "Baldwin: A Love Story" right now.

Huge recommend.

“A shrewd observer remarked, one day, that fascist Italy was being run like a large newspaper and, moreover, by a great journalist: one idea per day, with sidelights and sensations, and with an adroit and insistent orientation of the reader toward certain inordinately enlarged aspects of social life — a systematic deformation of the understanding of the reader for certain practical ends. The long and the short of it is that fascist regimes are publicity regimes.”

Just finished Iveliz Explains It All by Andrea Beatriz Arango. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down till I finished it, in less than a day. A really tender and entrancing novel-in-verse about a kid Puerto Rican kid struggling with some deep stuff. I loved the way that the journal focalization let deep feelings flow while also giving the reader a bit of a puzzle in the beginning to understand what exactly was going on. Deals with friendship, loss, and mental health (including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and flashbacks).

Media Shied Away From Climate Coverage in 2025
Despite Increased Reader Interest
Mainstream media around the world last year drew back from reporting on climate change, according to new reports.
This drop occurred despite increasing reader interest in the topic,
while greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations continued to hit new historic highs.
According to a year-end analysis by the Media and Climate Change Observatory (MeCCO),
