I’m reading @ibramxk.bsky.social’s new book Chain of Ideas— or All the Worst People You Know Are Worse Than You Even Thought. The subject could not be more dire and important, but the book itself reads so breezily and it’s real page turner. Recommended!

Coming 3/17, Service Request is a new series that starts small. A call to 311, a trafic jam, a single flipped switch. We then trace that moment through the networks that keep a city running.

I doubled down (nearly) on 66 fascinating hours of the audiobook of The Power Broker, by listening to about 30 *more* hours of @romanmars.bsky.social and Elliott Kalan discuss it. Worth every second. Clever, funny, richly rewarding on every level. Sending warm vibes of gratitude to all involved.
