Hyper dramatic performance

This was fine for an Audible freebie, had potentially interesting elements, but after watching a lot of Black Mirror, it didn’t feel particularly original.

Historia
The Riders Come Out at Night is the culmination of over twenty-one years of fearless reporting. Ali Winston and Darwin BondGraham shine a light on the jackbooted and sadistic cops known as “The Riders,” and the lack of political will and misguided leadership that have conspired to stymie meaningful reform. The authors trace the history of Oakland since its inception through the lens of the city’s police department, through the Palmer Raids, McCarthyism, and the Civil Rights struggle, the Black Panthers and crack eras, to Oakland’s present-day revival.

A painstakingly researched tour de force by two tenacious journalists
Revisado: 01-22-23
Being familiar with the reportage of the authors, and imagining the massive amount of source material from which they drew, I was impressed with the effortless readability of this book. I enjoyed the journey through Oakland history which laid out the historical underpinnings and key inflection points in cultural shifts in local policing and “The Town.” Behavior documented mirrors what is familiar from We Own this City,
reinforcing the point that internal monitoring and reform is improbable. I hope this book becomes recognized as the important work that it is—it should be assigned reading. I’ll be recommending it widely.

Historia
Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date. But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life.

Waste of a credit

As cheesy as It Ends with Us was, it at least had some good drama and serious subject matter. This had so little happen and hardly even a pivotal conflict. Did I miss some chapters?

Historia
The inimitably witty David Rakoff, New York Times best-selling author of Don’t Get Too Comfortable, defends the commonsensical notion that you should always assume the worst, because you’ll never be disappointed. In this deeply funny (and, no kidding, wise and poignant) audiobook, Rakoff examines the realities of our sunny, gosh everyone-can-be-a-star contemporary culture and finds that, pretty much as a universal rule, the best is not yet to come, adversity will triumph, justice will not be served, and your dreams won’t come true.

If you enjoy phrases like “cloacal scouring” you’ll love this

A brilliant, discerning, self-aware mind with the most resonant musings for the cynics among us. Gone far too soon.

Historia
Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian. But on the brink of fatherhood - facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf - his casual questioning took on an urgency His quest for answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and wrong.

You can’t not be changed by this book—and that’s a good thing!
Revisado: 10-16-19
Unless you are on the front lines of factory farming activism, with eyes wide open to these issues, you must to go through the reasoning of this book along with the writer. If you think it’s just ok to leave as an unexamined part of your life, it is not—it is so connected to other issues of moral, environmental, a health importance, it is not just a matter of privilege to have time to think seriously about this stuff.
I was worried that the descriptions of mistreatment of animals would be too intense—and they aren’t easy, but there is so much more to this book, and it isn’t until far into the book after a lot of context and other supporting material that such descriptions occur.
If you feel that any uncertainty about whether or not it is ok to eat factory farmed animals even just occasionally, this will help clear up any ambiguity. It just plain isn’t ok, there are lots of other options, and that’s without even consider the environmental impacts, which make saying “no” to industrial meat a no-brainer.
I think the only case for eating meat of questionable origin for me at this point is if something is bound for the waste stream/garbage can—I work in food and see instances of this all the time. I find throwing away animal products possibly the most offensive thing one could do with food on a soul level, considering all the embodied resources within used to produce and package them in the first place AND the methane it is destined to produce in a landfill.
