Jan 18 2024Christine Emba: Rethinking Sex

I have a lot of thoughts about this book but I’ll try to keep this brief. To start, this book has a very odd citation format. The author directly cites journalists, blog posts, magazine surveys directly in line, but then deeper resources, ie Academic Studies, Medical Journals, are cited at the back of the book - and not many are cited compared to how many Journalists are. This creates a problem where many times in the book the author will say something along the lines of “many studies show…” but not actually directly link to a study.

Jan 05 2024John Micklethwait: The Company

While occasionally simplistic and revisionist, The Company is a fascinating foray into the history of human organization, corporate profits, and human society. An interesting reminder that things have not always been the way they are, humanity pushes forward through progress and chaos alike, and shows that even in the largest bureaucratic machines in the world, any choice can be traced back to an individual. Strongly recommended.

Musical equivalent of having a tooth pulled out at the dentist and then having to walk a mile home. Love it. Favorite track: Bring me a berban.

Nov 27 2022Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

This is a great little whodunit caper, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’ve seen the original Knives Out and liked it, you’ll probably like this too. If you haven’t, think an Agatha Christie novel. I’ve seen people say it’s “tighter” then the original, but I’d have to disagree. I’d say they’re very comparable in pacing, if anything, the original film is a little more directed in it’s story. Both are excellent, though, and stand independently of each other.
