I'm going to have to start reading some actual books at some point. Anyway, I skim a lot of stuff while working at my new place. But all of these are pretty interesting reads:

Full transcript: Hillary Clinton at Code 2017: I guess she's in her "all out of fucks to give" phase, which I wish she had reached earlier, like maybe a decade ago. People going to be mad at her again blaming something else (this time the DNC itself) for her losing.
Where Letters to Hillary Clinton go
How the Trendiest Grilled Cheese Venture Got Burnt: Restaurants, as it turned out, are not that easily disruptable.
Pinboard bought delicious! I wonder if my login still works.
The Birthmark of Damnation: Ta Nahesi-Coates and the Black Body. A very interesting critique of Between the World and Me. I need to re-read it, but I think he's saying that Coates makes racism seem like this magical, terrible thing that just happens to black people, instead of it being a tangible political and class reality, and critiques him for his inability to see that resistance work can yield results. Now I'll have to re-read Between the World & Me.
Chapo Trap House made this premium episode discussion on the topic free due to high demand. I haven't listened to it yet.

I'm following a few stories, and it's making me go hmmmm....
