I was reading the most recent @… WIP Wednesday and saw:
There are 2 release blockers for v1.1 currently, down by 2 from last week.
If I read those two release bl…

Opinion: A politicized reading list won’t fix Texas’ reading crisis — investing in teachers will
Instead of investing in teachers, funding and evidence-based literacy instruction, Texas is fueling culture-war debates that do nothing to reverse its worsening reading crisis.

Next on my list to read, after I finish Tom Holt "In Your Dreams".

Reading material. Ones that sound interesting will be tagged. Then a grocery list prepared.

If you’re new around here, I maintain an “Intro to Left-Wing Anarchist Reading” list, which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WuGnU7O_0eyjf9caYJXJn-KbXfsQi3uHE5EYYzQcbD8/edit?tab=t.0

added hn and lobsters to the dns deny list. Firefox "failed to load page" will be my reminder that even staring at the wall will be more useful than reading those 2 sites

Somehow I've got that problem that just reading a book feels like I'm neglecting "important" work. My task list is long and there is always some "productive" stuff I could do. I intellectually understand that reading is important and not just a recreational activity. Also I understand recreation is important. Still there is this nagging feeling when I pick up a book and read.
Do you have the same issue? How did or would you address it?

I've seen folks boost an interview about this book. I'm really excited to see it come out, and definitely adding it to my reading list.

Is there a known solution to send a link from any non-Safari #macOS browser to Safari's Reading List? This is possible on the iPhone as part of the Share actions.
I'm mostly interested into how to do this from Chrome and Firefox based browsers.

Before we walked over to the bar to ring in the new year last night, I polished off MASTERS OF ATLANTIS as my last book of 2025. I'd put it on my to-read list after this review ... whew, back in 2020?

Just finished "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. In an unusual twist of fate, I had read "Concrete Rose" earlier, which gave me a rich backstory to relate things to. "The Hate U Give" is really good, but I found the resolution of King's arc slightly disappointing, even though the ending was strong. It's definitely not my place to judge Thomas' perspective here, but I do think that the book's broad popularity including among more liberal audiences probably stems at least in part from the way it allows a "the cops have issues but are ultimately-necessary/sometimes-positive" reading that undermines the strength of the core message.
In the end I like Concrete Rose better, but they're both great and I'll be putting Thomas' other books on my to-read list.
