News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
This was another good week for the territory. Most notably, @kr has returned to Stacker News, and two of his first posts since coming back made the top posts. They are both well worth your time, as stackers have already concluded.
Also, @denlillaapan has started our second book club, discussing Jordan Peterson. The first book in the series is “We Who Wrestle With God.”
Happy reading!
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

This is @denlillaapan’s first post in the book club. I will be interested to watch this discussion progress over the next few months, and I will try to find time to read the book and join the fun at some point.
This is a post by @TheWildHustle describing how to use npub pro to consolidate Nostr and Stacker News longform posts in one place. He points out how the SN plus nostr combination, using all of the developing nostr applications, can surpass substack and medium. This is already the case regarding zapping, highlighting and commenting. We all should learn to take advantage of these synergies.
