I've tried this as well and can really recommend it. Making it easier to play around with (and share) customized feeds has a lot of promise, so shout-out to @graze.social! Would be great to combine this with something like Popular with Friends, but I don't have the time for this right now...

Cool to see that my review essay 'Charting the Contours of the Geo-Tech World' is the 9th most-read article in Geopolitics this year. Shoutout also to @geopoliticsjournal.bsky.social for offering this unique format, i.e., discussing multiple books & putting them in a broader intellectual context.
