Allende stuns with memory & myth, Knapp goes deep on grief, Squibb yells "GO!", and McAfee makes nerds the new rockstars. 4 books, 1 shelf, infinite rewiring. #Goobes

Like Junji Ito wandered into a fever dream. Strange Pictures by Uketsu is disturbing, hypnotic, and gorgeously grotesque — each page dares you to keep looking… and regret it.🖤🪓 #uketsu #mangahorror #strangepictures #horrorart

Two urgent reads: one exposes the silence Indian women bear, the other is a hopeful plea for belonging. Both demand to be read, felt, and acted upon. #MustRead #NonFiction

Five wildly different worlds in one spot — a revolutionary past, cultural currents, a soldier’s story, dream-chasing advice, and clandestine intrigue. Something for every reader. 📚✨

*Chokepoint Capitalism* is a rallying cry for creatives 💥 Giblin & @Doctorow expose how Big Tech rigs the system—and offer bold, practical ways to fight back. Smart, urgent, and electrifying. Read it if you’ve ever been paid in “exposure.” #ChokepointCapitalism #BookTwitter

*The Elsewhereans by Jeet Thayiil is a luminous, genre-bending elegy on exile, memory & family. Thayil blends ghost story, memoir & myth into a haunting meditation on what it means to belong nowhere—and everywhere. His most intimate, ambitious work yet. #JeetThayil #BookTwitter

It's been more than a year since I gave up on Google Search (I switched to Kagi.com and never looked back). I don't miss it. It had gotten terrible. It's gotten worse since, thanks to AI (of course): pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/tea… 1/

Three books to read slowly: 📘 More Human — On leading with presence, not code. 📕 Empire of AI — A brutal anatomy of ambition in tech. 📗 The Genius Myth — Myths fall; what’s left is messy, human, true. Each asks: what kind of future are we building?

Not only is agentic AI bullshit, but it's a specific kind of bullshit that AI hucksters have busted out in the past, and will bust out in the future, so it's worth spending a minute to unpack this bullshit and catalog its traits so that we don't fall for it. 1/

Observe, if you will, the tortured genius in its natural habitat: drenched in oil paint, scandal, and remarkable libido. Nigel Cawthorne’s Sex Lives of the Great Artists is art history's steamiest safari. Now at @goobes strictly for the curious species. 💋 #ArtHistory #NSFWReads

🕵️‍♂️“The game is afoot!” In The Beast Within, journalist Rudraneil Sengupta trades fact for fangs in this sharp-toothed #noir thriller. Equal parts menace & madness, it skulks through the underbelly of the city like a wolf in journalist’s clothing Holmes would approve.

Nejishiki by Yoshiharu Tsuge, A boy with a bleeding arm wanders surreal postwar Japan, chasing meaning through dreams, drains, & disassociation. Nejishiki is Tsuge’s fevered inkblot—bleak, beautiful, & disturbingly true. Manga at its most unhinged & essential. #Tsuge #Gekiga
