Does anyone have a good book recommendation(s) for learning about the history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict?

Joe Rogan: “The real fascinating crypto is bitcoin. That’s the one that I think has the most likely possibility of becoming a universal viable currency. It’s limited in the amount that there can be … and I love the fact that it’s been implemented.” From todays podcast with Sam Altman https://twitter.com/IwanRabbinstein/status/1710359048543928553

Tried getting into Starfield. Gave it 6 solid hours before I gave up. Everything about it feels soulless and stale. Can't do it.

What worthwhile books have you read and enjoyed so far this year?

Not a bad little stack just from playing a few mobile games on my phone over the last few months.

I've given up on trying to get nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg to work for me. I'm at a loss. I've tried it on windows, on linux, on multiple browsers, with nos2x and with Alby. I've tried it on multiple different computers in my house as well. I just can't get anything to function on it. I can browse the feed and get alerts, but I can't interact with anything. Cant post, cant follow, cant like, etc. It seems like it is potentially the best web client, to me, and it appears to be working for nearly everyone else but me. Truly baffled.

Biden's health is clearly failing him, and it's entirely in the realm of possibility that the DNC may have no choice but to find someone else to run in 2024. Currently, RFK Jr. is the next frontrunner, without a close second. He would be absolutely unacceptable to the DNC. They'll never run him. Who can stop him? I can only think of one person. Michelle Obama. She's the Ace in their pocket. She checks all of the establishment progressive boxes, and would likely win in a landslide.

What have you been reading this year?
