He was not an experienced tracker, nor was he particularly light footed in the bush, but his heart was true, and his aim was improving.

The paperback version of ROAD TO NOWHERE is out today!
Silicon Valley promised it would make transport better for everyone; their initiatives delivered nothing of the sort, while delaying real solutions.

As #health #tech and #policy assessment graduates from proprietary spreadsheet apps (like #Microsoft #Excel) to open, generalizable, and powerful systems like #Rstats, a generation of researchers need to retool.
This book is for them: https://gianluca.statistica.it/books/online/r-hta/
I could write that, but it would be called:
"Suck it, I do what I want! And other stories about the time I f*cked around and found out." 
An instant peguin classic!

Another book that I finished late last night. Honestly, this was a Dollar Tree find. There were no high expectations, but this book DELIVERED. About a 12 year old Black girl growing up in small town Mississippi in the early 80s.The Civil Rights Era has come and gone, but it never really changed much. A white woman moves into the neighborhood and she is, well, she has history, we'll say. Beautiful, tragic, yet full of hope. I loved my time spent in these pages. TW in alt text.

The final new arrival... 'A House in Bloomsbury' by Mrs Oliphant, published by Dodd, Mead & Co., in 1894.
Another new arrival... 'The Book of the Spiritual Life' by Lady Dilke, published by John Murray in 1905.
This is an association copy, with the armorial bookplate of Fetherston-Dilke (of Maxtoke Castle) pasted in and newspaper clippings and letters tucked inside.
I used to live quite close to Maxtoke Castle. Nice place... It has a ghost. Well, they all do.
A new arrival... 'The Perfume of Egypt: And Other Weird Stories' by C.W. Leadbeater, published by the Theosophist Office in 1911.
Finally! Today I start reading the galley of @pluralistic 's to-be published book, 'Enshittification'. I long to review the book.
Via the Zabriskie bookstore in Berlin i was able to get a hold of the first edition of Lori Emerson' book "Other Networks" at the last minute. Arrived finally and no goofy Amazon involved. This will be a feast! Sound, music and much beyond.
Thank you: @Lori Emerson

"The Marvellous Land of Snergs" is a super funny children #book by Edward Wyke-Smith. It influenced #tolkien on the creation of The Hobbit. Apparently he only admitted it very late in his life. But it was one of his children favourite bedtime stories.
Anyways here is my take on Gorbo, the Snerg - bc I really loved the book, can't recommend it enough
All good choices, but one is clearly better than the others
