  A Tyranny for the Good of Its...

  Asset manager mega-giants BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have accumulated unprecedented levels of stock ownership in every major US company. Voting the shares they hold for clients allows these companies to force their own "environmental, social, and governance" or "ESG" agenda on the American corporate sector and, by extension, on all of us. An asset manager's traditional duty is to maximize returns for its investors, but these financial elites expand their duties through "stakeholder capitalism," the idea that a company is responsible not only for its actual shareholders, but for everyone who is affected by the company. Thus, they can impose their preferred ESG goals under the guise of benefiting an amorphous group of non-investors. 
   
   
   
  This elite-dominated economic system is nothing more than socialism in sheep's clothing. "ESG" defines the champagne socialist agenda that would devastate the working and middle classes globally. Now, in the face of rising opposition, these financial elites are rebranding—shifting their terminology to conceal their intent. A Tyranny for the Good of its Victims exposes how these elites have pursued—and will continue to pursue—their ESG goals: to transform our consumer-driven free-market economy into one that is subject to their elitist demands, overriding the will of the people whom they deem incapable of self-government.

  Tech literacy is more than just knowing how to use a smartphone or browse the internet—it’s about understanding the digital world and navigating it confidently and responsibly. In a time when technology influences nearly every part of our lives, being tech literate is as fundamental as reading and writing. Whether you're managing personal tasks, handling work responsibilities, or simply trying to stay connected, having a strong foundation in tech literacy is essential. 
  At its core, tech literacy involves the ability to effectively use digital tools, think critically about technology, and understand how digital systems operate. It also includes knowing how to stay safe online, protect your privacy, and make informed decisions about the tech you use. Unlike digital fluency, which refers to mastering complex tools or coding, tech literacy focuses on building practical, everyday skills that help you adapt to new technology as it evolves. 
  The importance of tech literacy has grown rapidly over the last few decades. From the rise of the internet to the development of smartphones and smart devices, the digital landscape has changed how we work, learn, communicate, and socialize. Schools now integrate digital tools into the classroom, many jobs require at least basic tech proficiency, and everyday activities—like banking, shopping, or scheduling appointments—often happen online. Without tech literacy, individuals may struggle to access important resources, opportunities, and information.

  The Uninnocent - Notes on...

  On a Thursday morning in June 2010, Katharine Blake's sixteen-year-old cousin walked to a nearby bike path with a boxcutter, and killed a young boy he didn't know. It was a psychological break that tore through his brain, and into the hearts of those who loved both boys—one brutally killed, the other sentenced to die at Angola. 
   
   
   
  In The Uninnocent, Blake wrestles with the implications of her cousin's break, as well as the broken machinations of America's justice system. As her cousin languished in a cell on death row, where he was assigned for his own protection, Blake struggled to keep her faith in the system she was training to join. 
   
   
   
  Consumed with understanding her family's new reality, Blake became obsessed with heartbreak, seeing it everywhere. As she delves into a history of heartbreak—through science, medicine, and literature—and chronicles the uneasy yet ultimately tender bond she forms with her cousin, Blake asks probing questions about justice, faith, inheritance, family, and, most of all, mercy. 
   
   
   
  Sensitive, singular, and powerful, effortlessly bridging memoir, essay, and legalese, The Uninnocent is a reckoning with the unimaginable, unforgettable, and seemly irredeemable.
