I am looking for suitable reading on data for a second-year undergraduate module called "Liberal Arts and the Public Sphere". Any recommendations for monographs or essays on critical data literacy or the importance of data to the political economy are gratefully received. The students do not necessarily have advanced numeracy or statistical skills, so the reading must be fairly accessible.

Yesterday I finished "The Other Side of Tomorrow" written by Tina Cho and illustrated by Deb JJ Lee. Lee's "In Limbo" was an excellent graphic memoir, and this similarly has wonderful art, although I didn't make the connection until checking the authors after reading to the end.
This book is a realistic fictional account of two childrens' escape from North Korea via China, Laos, and ultimately Thailand where they could declare themselves refugees at a US embassy and get sponsored to live in America. Along the way they're helped by various members of the Asian Underground Railroad. I'll avoid spoilers but yet definitely encounter difficulties along the way.
The ending definitely hits different now (while also accentuating my disgust with the current US regime). Like "Libertad" that I also finished recently, the "escape to the US at the end" plot line is going to become less prevalent going forward, although Libertad involved a good measure of complexity around that point.
I was a bit disappointed in one of the later plot points where a different and more-real-world-probable turn of events could have served as a better message for society, with the "lucky" outcome as written reinforcing regressive notions of family, and as an ex-Christian the Christian elements of the story made me feel a way. I'm an agnostic, not an atheist though, and can respect the idea that those willing to risk torture and death for their faith have every right to stand by it and take inspiration from it. Most (very valid) critiques of big western Church institutions just don't apply to underground churches in northern China who are helping people escape the horrors of deep fascism.
Overall a really good book.

The 2025 Web Almanac mistook me.
I did *not* say LLMs provide better image descriptions. I cited SeeingAI and Be My Eyes as tools for undescribed IRL uses.
I said LLM-generated captions could be better than craptions. I mentioned abstracts / reading-level changes, which could be summaries?
But “better” image descriptions is right out.

I'd be interested in reading this, but £116 for 200 pages?
The piss is being taken, along with the money.

The main difference with the current situation is that the fictional US President Mark Hollenbach in Fletcher Knebel's curiously prophetic novel 'Night of Camp David' (1965) is a Democrat, not a Republican. Worth reading. Warning: “too plausible for comfort” (NYT).

Been re-reading Langdon Winner's "The Whale and the Reactor".
Winner published this in 1988 and it still 100% applies. His criticism of "values" discourse, of certain strategies of trying to defend important structures by adopting the language and thinking of the opponent. The focus on numbers while devaluing experience. The hollowness of the decentralization discourse.
Damn.

On my Linktree, I’ve kept the link to @…, and the video on revolutionary syndicalism, and thus have moved all my recommended reading to my new document titled "Entry to Left-Wing Anarchist Reading".

im mildly stressed about not hitting my reading goal despite this being the first year I've ever set a reading goal, the first year I've read more than a single book in ages, and also having only started in June BUT

My StoryGraph 2025 reading wrap-up was generated two hours before the new year and one hour before I finished another book — so it’s not reflected in the stats.
Anyway if you’re curious where I spend my free time:

I have autism, and I tend to forget things quite often. That’s part of why I’m currently reading Rudolf Rocker – Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice for the fifth time.
If you’d like to read it too, you can find it in my “Entry to Left-Wing Anarchist Reading” document, which I’ll keep updating over time with new books, media, and resources.

I’ve moved my “Entry to Left Wing Anarchist Reading” to my personal website.
It’s styled to look a lot like Google Docs, that was intentional, regardless, it’s hosted in a more private, self-controlled space.
