News Of The Week
Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. This week you might notice a few changes. The volume of good content is a little overwhelming, but my goal is to keep quality material visible and accessible for as long as possible. So, I plan on consolidating older content into separate posts that make sense thematically, then linking to those posts in each week’s newsletter. The goal would be a cleaner, more concise newsletter that will still allow quick access to older stuff.
Towards that end, I am temporarily removing discussion posts from "recommended older posts", with the objective of making that content part of a separate post. I’m toying with a “Best of 2023” type theme or something like “The Early Days.” As always I welcome suggestions.
Next, I am planning periodic (Perhaps Quarterly?) “best of” posts, maybe, or posts by subject matter, ie “essays”, “poetry”, “book reviews”. There’s no strict format. I’ll let the content guide me.
One more thing. To highlight quality content, I’m allowing myself the indulgence of picking out a few posts each week as “Siggy’s Suggestions”, for content that may have been overlooked, or may have not fit the mysterious zaprank algorithm enough to make the top five.
Well, that’s it. I hope everyone has a great week.

How To Be More Agentic by @elvismercury I have learned that @elvismercury always posts good content, even if it is sometimes over my head. This post is was both enjoyable and informative, as usual.
@kr was on a roll this week. Warren Buffet is an interesting character, and his newsletter has its unique style. I really picked this one for me.
