Fascinating to see #Adobe praised as the 'ethical' AI player while their business was built on crushing competitors & controlling #creative markets. Stock ownership doesn't make it ethical - the stock industry is notorious for exploiting creators. #AI ethics debate needs more nuance 🙃

Magazine design seems to be coming back in a big way. With the rise of AI, people are seeking out curated, authentic, and well presented long form content. Really interesting seeing some of the creative work in things like Queue from Netflix/Pentagram and Famous for my Dinner Parties.

Pleasantly surprised by Jurassic Park at the moment. I’d always presumed that being a huge fan of the movies would sully the reading experience, but it’s the opposite. Fantastic read so far and adds so much more to the story than the movie could.

Started my sixth book of the year - Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. Should be interesting as a huge fan of the movies. Plus it’s the Folio Society version, so some super cool illustrations.

Crime and Punishment was great. The naturalistic dialogue and psychological cat-and-mouse between Raskolnikov and Porfiry pulled me in completely. The moral themes hit deep, and Razumikhin is a BOY. Did drag in spots though. 4/5

Four hundred odd pages later and I'm finally reaching the end of Crime and Punishment. My brain is as exhausted as Raskolnikov at this point. Great book tho.

Really enjoying Crime and Punishment. The Nicolas Pasternak Slater translation is super accessible, and while I haven't read any other version, it seems to convey the story and Dostoevsky’s intention/style accurately.

While I am very much enjoying Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment (Nicolas Pasternak Slater translation), I still can’t get over how good this review is on GoodReads. #booksky

My third book of the year was a short one - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It was good. It’s a satisfying folktale style read with a nice, if not tired core message. Let’s just say it was an enjoyable journey, but not one I’d necessarily choose to take again. 3/5

My second book of the year, Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is absolutely fantastic. Elegant, original, funny. The fact I finished it in a week is a testament to its quality. I particularly like how it covers a lot of heavy themes in a non-didactic way. 5/5

Currently reading Kaveh Akbar's 'Martyr!'. So far, It's brilliant. Razor-sharp writing with real depth. Just... genuinely good all round. #booksky

Any Medium readers/writers on here? Just wrote a little flash fiction piece based on a metaphysical, liminal concept I had. Feel free to give it a read. medium.com/entropies/14...

First book of 2025, Richard Osman’s The Bullet that Missed (Thursday Murder Club 3) is a hit. I’d shelved it at 40% last year, but the third act is super, super engaging. Struggled to put it down this time. 4/5

My twelfth book of the year was ‘In the Miso Soup’ by Ryu Murakami. It was enjoyable, if not a little gratuitous for my liking. It’s gripping. It’s dark. It’s a sharp and well written exploration of loneliness and complicitness in cultural decline. 3.5/5

I’m enjoying In the Miso Soup so far. But so far doesn’t yet include anything gruesome, so let’s see how far that enjoyment goes.

The Hogfather is absolutely brilliant. First time reading it and wow. Love how it builds this perfect seasonal atmosphere before absolutely taking off in the final third. Favourite quote so far: "There was always something that needed transferring from A to B or, of course, to the bottom of the C."

I grew up thinking I was better than reading. I had games, I had TV, I had movies - why would I read? Now, as an adult, I’m sitting here trying to catch up on all the reading I’ve missed.

It’s really not appreciated enough how well Jurassic Park holds up. We should be discussing this daily.

Marvel Rivals gets a thumbs up from me. It feels like the first actual competitor to Overwatch. Will be interested to see how the competitive compares to the quick play.

Reading Hogfather for the first time. Now I’m fully aboard the Discworld train after reading most of the City Watch series, decided to jump into Hogfather for the Christmas season. 🐽

A line I am proud of from today: Toriyama listened to the muffled sound of men who talked about everything but themselves.
