Just finished Small Boat by Vincent Delacroix. An incredible read about the collective vs individual burden of responsibility to confront pervasive injustices. It evoked similar themes to Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem.

Footage reportedly from inside Saydnaya's control room shows a vast surveillance apparatus. Given the prison's size, some prisoners appear unaware of their newfound freedom. (via X/@mohmad_rasheed)

Finished my 5th Emily St. John Mandel novel. I’m working my way through all her books. I’m always impressed by her story construction, like loose threads being woven together. Next on the list is The Lola Quartet.

I am still trying to determine the veracity of the claims of extreme violence circulating. But I urge we all move cautiously. This 1992 op-ed is a cautionary reminder of why we need to get the facts right.

Sharing some photos from my time in south Iraq. It’s startling and devastating to see these dried up rivers, which once sustained many communities
