'Silver Lining' by Tim O'Brien (@obrienillustration)

A glitch in the matrix! Tim O’Brien “has a knack for pop culture, often infusing it into artistic visions that simultaneously reveal its strangeness and familiarity.” And we have a knack for Tim’s visions that capture the very core of our societies and politics that move us.

So finally I’ve read the prequel of the Hunger Games THE book in which we follow Coriolanus Snow, the future president of Panem in the 10º Hunger Games. The first time there will be mentors.

The irony of it all, us that know what happens in the future, is that he is the mentor of Lucy Gray the tribute of District 12. This book was SO HYPED before and when it came out. So I waited over a year to read it.

This books is so polarizing, either you hate it or love it. I felt in the middle, I actually enjoyed the two first parts to the novel. Getting to know and see a semi-historical period of the world was so interesting.

Like getting to know the aftermath of the war the created the vile event that is The Hunger Games, how they worked and how they were seen I loved that. Also watching the actual games it is always fun. The book falls in the third part, I found the change of the arc abrupt and unnecessary. Like it be edited 150-200 less and the book would’ve been fine.

The characters are super interesting and rich, I never felt empathy for Snow, he is as power-hungry/selfish as in the main trilogy, just now he has less power and he would do whatever it takes to get it.

In the end I end up liking the reading experience, like it was necessary? No, did I enjoy it? Yes, mostly. If you love the world of the hunger games you’ll probably like (at least the fist two parts).

Trimp destroyed the country! He must be impeached and banned from ever running for office again. He should also be banned from the internet for life. Re-Posted @withregram • @time Just before noon on Jan. 20, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. put his hand on a bible and vowed to uphold the Constitution as the 46th President of the United States. It was a first step toward restoring a semblance of normalcy to a shaken democracy, writes @charlottealter. His predecessor, after two months of trying to stay in power by overturning the people’s will, told the American people to “have a good life” before skipping the ceremony. Joe Biden may never unify America. That may not even be possible in a nation so riven by disinformation and delusion. But if he can get Americans who disagree on everything else to agree on the democratic process, if he can help restore political debate to the realm of truth, if he can deliver enough solutions to restore some small faith in government, that would be a start. America still won’t be united, but it could be united enough. Read the full cover story at the link in bio.

Lost in Space, Tim O'Brien

#Repost @time with @get_repost ・・・ From the beginning of his 19 years in power, Russian President Vladimir Putin has turned his country’s wealthiest men into a loose but loyal band of operatives. In exchange for lucrative deals with the government, or simply protection from the authorities, these #billionaires have gathered contacts at the highest levels of U.S. #politics, high enough to influence policy in the service of the Russian state. “These are cats that like to bring dead mice to the Kremlin,” says Mark Galeotti, a leading expert in Putin’s influence operations at the Prague-based Institute of International Relations. And in the #Trumps, the oligarchs found plump targets. One Russian billionaire hosted Ivanka Trump and her husband, now President Donald Trump’s senior adviser, Jared Kushner, at a gala in Moscow in 2014. Another has links to a $500,000 payment to Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen in 2017. A third ran a propaganda operation that pumped pro-Trump content into the news feeds of millions of American voters. In the heat of the presidential race, a fourth tycoon arranged the meeting where a Russian lawyer offered dirt on Hillary Clinton to Trump’s closest aides. And then of course there was Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire with close ties to Putin, whose years of fishing for friends in Washington eventually got the chairman of a presidential campaign, Paul Manafort, on the line. (As part of his guilty plea on Sept. 14 to charges stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, Manafort agreed to cooperate “fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly” with the special counsel.) Reviews of legal records and interviews with oligarchs and their associates in Russia and the West show just how far they have gone. They also show how deeply they penetrated the 2016 U.S. presidential contest, and the campaign of Donald Trump. Read this week's full International cover story on TIME.com.
