KSS - Issue [4]

Issue 4

Hey folks, this week is going to be a little different. Instead of the normal book review, I’ve created a short podcast with my good friend Hadrian Quan. You can listen to it right here in the email by clicking the player above this text. This is a little bit of an experiment, so if you enjoyed it, let me know and I’ll do more of it in the future!

What am I reading right now?

This week I read the Jakarta Method at the suggestion of my friend Hadrian. We’ve made a short podcast about it. It’s available at the top of this email. Hope you enjoy it.

The New York Review of Books has done a short treatment of it: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2020/05/18/how-jakarta-became-the-codeword-for-us-backed-mass-killing/

Music

I debated for longer than I want to admit whether this belonged in music or videos. Either way its an amazing performance. Thanks Syd for the recommendation.

Videos

I really love these downhill high speed longboard runs Josh Neumann does. This week I rediscovered this one. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Ideas I’m thinking about

• Coordination Problems

• First bullets; then Cannonballs

Memes and stupid tweets

"iT's oUr HeRitAgE" Pokemon Go has lasted longer than the confederacy did and with three times the Americans behind it, you're lucky they only took the statues down instead of replacing them with Pikachus

This is what happens to 90% of dinosaurs by the way

As always, if you enjoyed this week’s podcast newsletter share it with someone you know :)
