Manu hits on something that I often struggle with, rating books. I rarely do, and most of the books I rate are 4/4.5 stars, I agree with him when he says

I think Netflix got it right with its thumbs-up, thumbs-down system, with the extra option to give something two thumbs up if you really liked it. Anything more complex than that feels a bit like overkill to me because what’s the difference between 3-star and 3.5-star books?

I also don’t know the difference between a 3 and 3.5 star or 3 and 2 star book. If I didn’t like a book enough to give it a low rating, chances are I haven’t finished it and never will. That says enough to me. I either liked it and finished it, or I didn’t and I abandoned it.

Oh wow, Charlie Kirk shot and killed. Very sad.

This article is everything that’s wrong with places like The Verge. It’s full of links, but all to their own articles with not one link to product the article is about. It’s lazy.

Finished reading: The Mother by T. M. Logan 📚

Parker Ortolani hits on something I’ve been thinking about with regard to liquid glass. Every time I come across critiques of the design language I wonder why Apple isn’t adding colour to the glass as a solution to some of the problems. They can even call it stained glass.
