Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson Wilkerson writes really big books, both in pages and scope. The follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize-winning
The Warmth of Other Suns posits that caste, a system of societal hierarchy seen in other parts of the world, is manifested most profoundly in the treatment of Black Americans through historical and contemporary oppression.

A Promised Land by Barack Obama This first of a two-volume memoir reminds us that words matter, and they can be eloquent, too. Get off Twitter and savor these 768 pages slowly, because there’s no release date yet for the second part.
As such, the long knives are out. Watch your back, Guv.
Edison vs. Elias
Getting a kick out of Democrat Marc Elias’ bragging about GOP election challenges. Recently he wrote on Twitter: “We are still waiting for Trump’s 50th post election court defeat. He and his allies remain at 1-49.”
This is the difference between a political hack and an entrepreneur.
Remember what Thomas Edison said about inventing the lightbulb? “I have not failed,” he explained. “I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
The only way you truly fail in the real world is if you quit. Trump ain’t quitting. Neither are his millions of supporters.

King Baby, the US based jewelry manufacturer with some huge fan backing, including the likes of Billie Eilish, J Balvin and Snoop Dogg, is switching gears to launch an all-new, sleek eyewear capsule. The brand has long kept its tradition of unmatched design and craftsmanship. Now, with this eyewear line, King Baby makes a bid at an expansive collection that showcases its range and puts on display the label’s influence in hand-crafted products.
The intrigue with this collection stems from the fact that every single element of these exclusive frames is assembled by hand by master craftsmen in Fukui, Japan. Additionally, each frame is milled from the finest Japanese acetate and features custom precision engineered hardware. The unique gradient lenses on each pair of sunglasses comes along with anti-scratch and anti-glare coating. Rounding out the eyewear is double reinforced temple hardware with functional double diamond rivets for added durability for each pair.
