In which a French-only precursor to the World Wide Web appears in the late 1970s in a wave of Gallic futurist fervor, and John may have been making long distance calls from a Parisian prison. Certificate #23054.
The Best One Yet - 😎 “#GigaTweet” — Elon buys some Twitter. Shein’s $100B tank top. Russia’s ruble reversal.
Elon acquired 9% of Twitter, because the Technoking wants to rule the #technoworld. Shein is reportedly about to hit $100B private valuation because it knows you want a tank top before you know you want a tank top. And Russia’s ruble has shockingly rebounded because of one wild stat: 70% of the world is governed by dictators — so they’re siding with Putin’s economy.

On the morning of August 7, 1974, the people of New York City woke up to witness one of the most incredible sights that the city had ever seen.
Between the two towers of the New York World Trade Center, 1,350 feet off of the ground, was a man who was waking on a wire.
It was audacious. It was incredible. It was also totally illegal.

NBN Book of the Day - Jennifer Egan, “The Candy House” (Scribner, 2022)
An interview with Jennifer Egan, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and author most recently of The Candy House (Scribner, 2022), the story of the intersections across space and time of characters desperate to understand their interior lives. At the hub of these stories, a machine capable of capturing and sharing memories, and even offering the possibility of joining a collectivity of consciousness. Jennifer Egan, as always, balances perfectly the profound intellectual problems of existence with characters who feel deeply real by virtue of their uncommon minds. We get to talking about how her process is one of discovery through the unconscious practice of writing, and the ways in which certain ideas of what the reader should feel and experience guide her structure. We discuss her creation of the futuristic machine in The Candy House that, in the end, fashions what only the novel can produce: a window into the minds and memories of another. On the subject of movement back and forth through time and place, Jennifer credits a marvelous children’s novel for the concept of parallel worlds into which characters can dip in and out of. In an incredibly wide-ranging discussion, we touch upon Dungeons and Dragons, the longest and possibly best 18th century novel, the possibility of reading The Candy House as the predecessor to A Visit from the Goon Squad, and so much more.
Jennifer Recommends:
- Lauren Groff, Matrix
- Samuel Richardson, Clarissa
- Rye Curtis, Kingdomtide
- Henry Fielding, Tom Jones

What A Day - Same-Day Solidarity At Amazon with Chris Smalls
Amazon warehouse workers in Staten Island, New York, voted to form the company’s first union in the U.S. last Friday, making a historic win for labor organizers everywhere. The union earned recognition in less than a year into its existence, and it overcame multiple arrests as well as millions that Amazon spent on anti-union consultants. Chris Smalls, founder of the Amazon Labor Union, joins us to discuss how it felt to win and what comes next.
And in headlines: Sacramento police arrested a suspect in connection to Sunday’s mass shooting in the city, the Senate reached a bipartisan $10 billion deal to fund COVID relief, and Elon Musk purchased about $2.9 billion worth of Twitter stock.

The Daily Signal - Historian Explains How 6 Presidents Fought Washington Swamp
From time to time, the American people elect a champion to take on the Washington swamp.
Historian Larry Schweikart joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss his new book "Dragonslayers: Six Presidents and Their War With the Swamp."
The six presidents Schweikart profiles are Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump. They came from different backgrounds and different political parties, but all had their own unique tussles with the swamp during their time in office.
The presidential historian lays out the almost cyclical nature of Americans electing swamp fighters.
"I think also we see a pattern where these guys kind of knock the swamp back a little bit, and then it crawls back to life, like some horrible monster and 10, 15, 20 years later, somebody else has to step up and fight it again," Schweikart says.
Schweikart is a historian of American political history and has written numerous books, including the best-selling "A Patriot's History of the United States."
We also cover these stories:
- President Joe Biden on Monday called Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal, and said evidence should be gathered in order to put him on trial.
- Biden says he is ending a COVID-19-era immigration-control policy. Title 42 was originally implemented by then-President Donald Trump. Three Republican state attorneys general are suing to block the Biden move.
- A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission revealed that billionaire Elon Musk had purchased a 9.2% stake in Twitter Inc., making him the tech titan's single-biggest shareholder.
