News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
This has been another good week for the territory. @Athena has begun to post her popular “Bitcoin Poem” series here. I hope that after they are all published we will get a consolidated post.
Both @cryotosensei and @DarthCoin have movie/series reviews for us. Maybe it’s catching on as a category.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

I have been following Hersh’s work since these My Lai Massacre revelations. Even though he’s 87 years old now, he’s still speaking truth to power (Nord Stream pipeline). You should check out his substack if you value his work.
Reading this reminded me that I should start eating better and drop a few (?) pounds.

I've read @grayruby's article and it's rightly the best one there. So thanks man for bringing out the subtle quality of human kindness. The world needs it more and more.
Thanks for your kind words.
I just don't get too much time to be more on SN but whenever I do I read yours for sports but this one's different. I also read @siggy47's and one or two top posts here.
Congratulations @grayruby
Sir, that was a solid story with a clear message.
Thanks
@Darthcoin reloaded on every newsletter these days. The series was super interesting and eye opener for many. Congrats man! @grayruby nailed it with his kindness show with the best of tale. I loved that. @Athena has been doing a fantastic job with her poems. Saw a poem generated her a 10k+ sats. Congratulations 👏👏@cryotosensei, as always, brings up yet another perfect review. If I ever write a book, the preface is gonna be written by you. Congrats!
sorry guys, wasn't my intention.
I will slow down my posting next week.
Wasn't my intention to slow you down. Rather, I'd love to see you race past everyone else. That series was damn good. Never read such a super interesting stuff ever before.
Thanks
Seems a bit slow today.
Congrats @grayruby!
He doesn't write a ton of posts, but when he does, they tend to be winners.
Yes, I noticed.
I wish I was more into baseball, basketball, and football.
He writes a lot about sports.
I like writing long form posts but I am lazy and sending 50 trolling comments is more fun.
I know what you mean.
Thanks
Well curated list.
Congrats @grayruby! Your article will inspire a lot of people for charity.
So is this the place to post movie and tv reviews now too? I recently posted a tv review to
mostly_harmlessbut maybe I should’ve posted it in this territory insteadThere are no rules, man!
You're certainly welcome to post here, and I'll include your reviews in the index.
Right on
Everyone is doing good work here.
I hadn't realized Hersh had a Substack (even though everyone seems to)!
Definitely worth subscribing to!
So glad to see you enjoyed the Hersh piece. I was thinking of his coverage of Nordstream when that article popped up in my query domains. I have no idea how he is using substack which uses Stripe as a payment processor, but somehow he is.
I'm glad he is.
Great post from @grayruby this week.
Thanks Siggy. Appreciate you highlighting my post.
You earned it.
