Book Recommendation For Everyone:
Invisible Women, Data Bias in a World Designed For Men
by Caroline Criso Perez
paraphrasing:
...so much data fails to take into account gender...and women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in time, money, and often wtth their lives"

This is the first YA book I've encountered that told readers, maybe our world isn't so great, and the Fantasy world would be vastly better. In this book, Aidan actually doesn't wanna come home.

Golden End is out now.
The Gods still walk among mortals.
At a sacred festival, Tirak survives what should have killed him.
His father does not.
Now ancient tablets have fallen into his hands, and the truth buried beneath worship, law, and fear begins to surface.
Dark fantasy. Active Gods. Mortal consequences.

Found an amazing web site with impressive catalog of poetry and literature in Farsi.
I used to have a very large library when I was in Sweden, and took them with me to US when my company moved me there, but I had to gave them away when I went back to take care of my parents, I only kept a few books of Khayyam and Hafez with me.
Finding this site is like a dream come true. It has search function too and sorting the poets based on the timeline, from 11th century to 21st.

La IA generativa estará prohibida en los colegios de primaria de Noruega a partir del próximo curso 🔥 El ejecutivo laborista ha justificado la decisión en una caída sostenida de los resultados académicos y en el temor a que la IA termine reemplazando el aprendizaje en lugar de apoyarlo.

Esta semana se publica «Sky», una novela corta de terror escrita por Kaaron Warren que cuenta con mi traducción para La biblioteca de Carfax.
Esta es la tercera novela que traduzco para la editorial y no cabe duda de que es la más inquietante de todas, ¡y eso que no hay ningún elemento fantástico! No hacen falta ni fantasmas ni vampiros cuando se escriben personajes y ambientaciones tan bien como lo hace Warren.
In another common win, China issues regulation to promote public reading.
The regulation aims to raise the intellectual, moral, scientific, and cultural standards of the Chinese people and enhance overall social civility, contributing to China's efforts to build itself into a country with a strong socialist culture.

Would any writer or aspiring want to collaborate on a sort of coffee table book? A us political satire maybe 50 years in the future a picture book for highschool kids (by that time Idiocrasy will have completely made itself at home)
