I’ve been obsessed with this whole GameStock stonks situation, particularly the online narratives that have formed around it. Which is why I was thrilled to see this long, but excellent explainer from Alexis Goldstein that spells out how this “isn’t David vs Goliath. It’s Goliath vs. Goliath, with David as a fig leaf.” It was also published last night ahead of the Robinhood app business, and after reading this, it will put that move in a whole new light. Namely that Robinhood was never letting people “stick it to hedge funds.” It was the hedge fund. (Markets Weekly)

A great piece on the unknowable legend MF DOOM. (Vulture)

Sabian30 returns to Cannonball Read with a list of books on improving as a writer. He’s noticed a lot of them focus on the mechanics of writing, but Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing is different. "Mr. Bradbury delves into our motivations for why we write and how to do it more truthfully." What do you want to be better at? (Cannonball Read 13)
