Yes, this month marks the return of Weekly Picks.
Sit back, grab your drink of choice, and settle into a long read or two. About life, the universe, and everything.
It has been delayed, but I will get an explainer up soon, to discuss the exercise of gathering these lists and their focus.
Aside from that, interludes from David Graeber, Charlie Chaplin, and John D. Boswell below for your listening pleasure:
Words for a Despondent Public - “Do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed – the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die."
Echoes in the Night - "In the basement of the Koerner Library at the University of British Columbia, there exists a large collection of microfilms. Among them, reproductions of print publications dating back to the mid-eighteenth century. Perhaps earlier..."
Happy Friday and end to an abbreviated month.
Off to an evening definitely not catching up on the news of the day,
