A Small Pile of New Books

2018-09-23 John Winkelman

Another light week for new acquisitions, but what it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality.

On the left is Paternus: Wrath of Gods by Dyrk Ashton. This is the sequel to the fantastic Paternus: Rise of Gods, which I finished back in the middle of summer.

On the right is American Fictionary by Dubravka Ugresic, the most recent delivery from Open Letter Books. I am now well into my third year of subscribing to Open Letter, and my only regret is that my reading time is so limited that I will likely never catch up with the ever-growing stack.

It was withdrawn after they couldn't successfully add an exemption for wealthy white families.

HA HA!

The Call is Coming from Inside the Nash@Nash076

Yup, figured this would happen.

Musk is now trying to cobble together a consortium of buyers to prevent having to take a loan on his Tesla stock.

So he's not so much buying Twitter as loading Twitter with debt that can't be repaid. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-seeks-scrap-tesla-153641078.html
