Wondering if I can speed read 350 pages in the next 4 hours for a book club meet. At least it should briefly take my mind off the death and devastation…

Up to 447 now. I feel the larger public hasn’t understood how systemic violence & media propaganda plays out (especially on social media platforms) and how much Israel has leveraged it to portray itself as the victim when it’s the oppressor.

While the "40 beheaded babies" story looks increasingly dubious, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has confirmed that Israeli bombings have killed at least 326 children since Friday.

I also hate to add but it is CRIMINAL to cut food, water and electricity to Palestinians (or anyone for that matter). You know what other purpose it serves? Cuts media coverage of the destruction happening in Palestine.

Gotta say, Toronto’s public libraries are pretty robust and fun. Having such a time of my life just browsing books and not having recommendations thrown my way.

Really sucks that avenues for authors are dwindling with such haste. In the age of AI, this screams lack of faith in originality and the human condition. Expecting a lot of amazing new voices to just dwindle away in slush piles.

PRH potentially buying S&S was a terrible thing, but HC trying to buy S&S is infinitely worse.

Doing one of those rare read a book till you absolutely finish it before daylight hits. I think i’m going to be a big Janice Hallett fan at this rate.

Sooooper chuffed to see @drkafeelkhan’s book in the Tata Lit Live shortlist for non-fiction. A person and a book really close to my heart. It was an immense honour to have worked with him and it gives me joy to see that there are spaces like @tatalitlive that celebrate such books

We are heartbroken at the death of our beloved author, Dame Hilary Mantel, and our thoughts are with her friends and family, especially her husband, Gerald. This is a devastating loss and we can only be grateful she left us with such a magnificent body of work.

The state of India’s judiciary right now — all promises, no action on all matters of constitutional importance. Makes you wonder how tetchy constitutional rights of its citizens are if the CJI is unable to find time. Disheartening really.

#StoryAlert 🚨 Chief Justice of India N V Ramana retires on Aug 26, leaving behind almost all cases of national & constitutional importance unheard. I make a case-by-case analysis of matters not listed & heard by Ramana & compare them to his speeches. 1/ article-14.com/post/lots-of-…

In today’s @finshots, the right kind of scat talk — apparently humans produce 5x more wastewater than the volume of water flowing over Niagara Falls! And around 13% of all nutrients needed for crop production can come from municipal wastewater! Time to fertilise the soil, folks!

Today's @finshots piece on wartime inflation was bleak af. 🥲

Is this shade meta? Because I felt it in many dimensions.

SRK joining politics would be a great revenge arc right about now.

Was in bed by 10 except I made the fatal mistake of reading a "little" before bed and have now conveniently found myself in that inevitable rabbit hole that is a good book.

Took me a moment to get into Seven Days in June but that whole bit where Eva and Shane interact for the first time is electric! I love me a public spectacle in books. Also, why are books about the publishing universe so damn salacious to read??

Interesting how even the biggest of billionaires pivot to the world of publishing as part of their legacy building journey. foxbusiness.com/technology/m… #FoxBusiness
