Propulsive storytelling featuring chapters alternating between the perspectives and voices of two protagonists. Chekhovโ€™s gun appears early yet when it goes off, itโ€™s a surprise that made me audibly gasp. Highly recommend. #Booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

When the world is upside down, books help me make sense of it all.

In 2024, I re-read The Handmaidโ€™s Tale.
In 2025, I re-read 1984.
In 2026, itโ€™s Fahrenheit 451.

I wish they didnโ€™t hold up so well.

Pete Hegseth says heโ€™s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

The most un-put-down-able memoir Iโ€™ve read this year. If youโ€™re resisting because youโ€™re not into running, get over it. An extraordinary read from @nicholas and a phenomenal Chrismukah gift for the book lover in your life. #Booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Most business biographies fall into one of two camps:

๐Ÿ“š Great stories with no lessons โ€” or lessons with no soul.

Dirtbag Billionaire is the rare book that delivers both.

I blazed through this and canโ€™t recommend it more highly.

Wandered into Garden District Bookshop on a recent trip to New Orleans and picked up The Neon Rain by James Lee Burke โ€” first in his Dave Robicheaux series. Hard-boiled, poetic, swampy noir. Raymond Chandler on poโ€™boys and chicory coffee. Ripped through it. #Booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

What starts as a war reporting satire evolves into a riveting character study of a spiraling young correspondent. Incredibly tough needle to thread setting this in Gaza pre-10/7 but deftly handled. Blazed through it. Hard to believe this is a debut novel. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

โ€œAbundance contains within it a bigness that befits the American projectโ€ฆ. It is a determination to align our collective genius with the needs of both the planet and each other.โ€ #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Judge Boasberg was a prosecutor when I was a public defender. We battled. Hard. He is a paragon of integrity. This attack, to use a technical legal term, is just so deeply fucked.

Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange.

This comes just weeks after the Trump family's crypto venture (World Liberty Financial) helped broker a $2B deal between Binance and a UAE state-backed firm.

It's all out in the open.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Muskโ€™s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.
