It's early days but looks like it's going to be his #1 war in his Spotify Wrapped 2026.

It's a recurring theme. πŸ˜… Mind you, they pick bad "airport" non-fiction to start with. I've had this happen a couple of times but more often the authors just go off on too many side-quests with too little structure that should have been separate essays. Long live the long-form!

I just said this to a friend last week! I read a lot of non-fiction books and so many of them should have been an essay or a long-form article. Shorter, cheaper books is another good idea. It's like shows with one or two FANTASTIC seasons that keep going until I lose all respect for the producers.

But seriously, I'm German. I've done volunteer work at Auschwitz, I'm old enough to have met Holocaust survivors, and I read victims' accounts when I was far too young (avid reader, library card, etc.). I thought I knew "evil", including The Banality Of Evil. This is different. It's pure nihilism.

We've gone from "Facts don't care about your feelings" to "Facts = your feelings".

Nooo! The best things about the Maus are that it doesn't talk and doesn't have a name. It's simply "die Maus". I also love how it often has a slightly puzzled look on its face.

Sidenote (and I don't know if I'm imagining things) but on top of the unfathomable absurdity of it all, it sounds like a *European* Spanish accent to me.
