Hot take: I don’t love a novel written in excerpts, transcripts or newspaper clippings. I’m currently reading “Murder in the Family” by Cara Hunter and I cannot keep focus.

Hoping one day I’ll be a star actor in your corporate sexual harassment training videos.

Currently reading Evenings and Weekends by Osín McKenna. Loving this great summer read.

Quick Review: As someone at an HFT firm, Flash Boys threw me into the electric early days of speed trading. Lewis unpacks how microseconds became millions, the secrecy and tech wizardry behind it all. Still thrilling and eye-opening years later. #booksky #currentlyreading

Syndicated content in Sun-Times special section included AI-generated misinformation A Chicago freelance journalist said he did not fact-check information he compiled using AI before including it in stories for media clients.

Always grim and awkward to report on problems affecting your own news organization.

But our credibility depends partly on covering these issues the same way as any other topic.

That’s what we tried to do here chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/05...

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

I’m planning to bring this service to BlueSky here: @isthereacubsga.me

I bet the tanks of gas we all buried underground has gone stale too. Thankfully I drive and electric car now

I’ve been warned that, “we live in the end times” my entire life. No thanks to these damn books.

A person relaxing in a hammock holding a copy of the book “Hello Beautiful” by Ann Napolitano. The book cover is colorful and features an abstract painted portrait of a woman’s face. Stickers on the cover note it’s a New York Times Bestseller and an Oprah’s Book Club 2023 selection. A blurred tropical background with blue sky and greenery is visible in the distance.

Currently wrapped up in Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano - lush, emotional, and beautifully written. Perfect hammock read. Loving how the story unfolds in my home city of Chicago.

A paperback copy of The Topeka School by Ben Lerner resting on a wooden surface. The cover features a dark stormy sky over a road, with a tornado or dust cloud forming in the distance. The book is labeled as a Pulitzer Prize finalist and one of The New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year. A brown bookmark peeks out from the top of the book.

Currently making my way through The Topeka School by Ben Lerner. It’s a bit of a slog at times, but there’s something intriguing about its writing style, debate, and cultural critique. Not the easiest read, but I’m sticking with it.

I’m, so far, reading more this year but taking less book pics. I guess my booksky/bookstagram/bookthreads career is over 🤣

Here is what I’m currently reading.

“The mystery guest” by Nita Prose

Finally a real winter in Chicago.

And also hoping that the tax return is not paid out in crypto 🤓👎🏼

Waking up before the sun is an absolute nightmare. I’m a proponent of abolishing Daylight Saving Time and enacting permanent Standard Time.

My January vitamin D.

Can’t stop watching the news about the California wildfires. Just insane!!!

Unpopular Opinion: Who else finds award shows like the Golden Globes, Emmys, and Grammys a major eye roll?

Congrats, your movie made a billion dollars, and you made millions. Here’s an award for being rich.

I’d rather see the awards go to the original creators, like authors and writers.

Sunday scaries survival tactic

Currently reading, “A Gentleman in Moscow” by Amor Towles

Just finished reading. Really great book, five stars!

If I survive you was good too. Very literary.

These are so cute haha

Merry Holidays!
