I’m not ignoring your message – I’m overwhelmed by the tyranny of being reachable by Miski Omar. Timely, well said.
The Art Of Poison-Pilling Music Files, fascinating. There will be more such to come.
Jericho Mosaic, the final book of The Jerusalem Quartet. A bit more procedural but still so delicate. I am so happy I came across Edward Whittemore’s work. 4/5
Tajar grumbled and shook his head and went shuffling off in his awkward gait. Nobody’s just finished, he thought. It doesn’t happen like that to a people. Doesn’t our own history prove it doesn’t? You can’t just humiliate a people and expect good to come from it. Anyway, nations don’t learn lessons the way a child does, history isn’t as simple as that. People learn to hide and survive or hate and survive or dream and survive, but the one thing they do is survive and not with acceptance in their hearts for those who humiliate them. A million more Arabs under Israeli rule? It’s impossible. It can’t be, it won’t work.

Netflix’s Sandman, uneven, mostly good. S2E12, hmm… what was that!? 3.5/5
Introducing Unit 42’s Attribution Framework. Nothing strikingly novel but still worth reading for structured thinking and analysis.
Ghosting isn’t always cruelty; sometimes it’s collapse. But let’s be honest: silence isn’t clarity. It’s avoidance dressed up as boundary-setting. It doesn’t spare someone’s feelings, it just leaves them with unanswered questions and a story they have to finish alone.
