\nFinished: Plato’s The Republic by Plato 📚. Plato sure doesn’t like creative-types! Talk about zero self-awareness. Though, I suppose “philosopher” wasn’t considered the same school as sculptors and poets back in the day.

\nFinished reading: Hard Boiled by Frank Miller 📚 I haven’t read this since it was released in 1990. God Lord, what an experience! It’s a cyberpunk Where’s Waldo chock-full of ultraviolence, pornography, urban decay, and pop culture, illustrated by uber maximalist Geof Darrow. There’s so much detail that I’d...

\nFinished Soil and Soul by Alastair McIntosh 📚
\nWhat an extraordinary book! So many highlights that I need to process. I learned a lot about Scottish history, my history as my ancestors came to Canada around the time of the Clearances, but I am not sure if related yet (researching this now!)

\nFinished reading: I am not a robot: my year using AI to do (almost) everything and replace (almost) everyone by Joanna Stern 📚
\nI really love Joanna’s writing voice, and that she voiced it herself for the audiobook. Funny, informative, and zany — this book turned out to be everything I hoped. But I finished...
