I'm no expert on Dostoevsky, but from what I have read I have to say this is accurate 😂

Cinquantième et dernière chronique gardoise, il faut savoir arrêter avant la lassitude. À force d’habitude, je finissais par chercher quelle image saisir au vif et je ne prends plus le même plaisir chaque semaine à narrer au vent mes sorties matinales. Je trouverai d’autres moyens de mettre en valeur la beauté des paysages qui ne cessent de m’émerveiller au quotidien. Et je termine avec ces deux vers d’Aragon que vous pourrez déclamer lors de vos échauffourées avec un automobiliste imprudent :
« Vie ô paisible automobile
et le joyeux péril de courir au devant »

Finished #reading "Careless People." I imagine that people reading this on the fediverse don't need to be convinced that Facebook, er, Meta, is trash. But the stories in this book confirm it. Even if only half of what Wynn-Williams writes is true, it is still appalling. We get an inside look at the utter indifference that Facebook employees have to the consequences of their actions in the real world.
Fuller review: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1947775/s/careless-people
An explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them. From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite. Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to “lean in.” Careless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade—told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.
Piles of books spark joy 😁

Finished #reading "Hand Drying in America." An amazing set of drawings. Each page constitutes its own "short story," if you will, and Katchor investigates themes like architecture, urban design, and how we interact with buildings and objects. All of the stories are fantastical but absorbing, and demonstrate Katchor's considerable imagination. Katchor "plays it straight" with all of the stories, taking them to their logical conclusions.
