I've been watching The Last of Us like everybody on Earth I've been watching it both for entertainment and for work because it's really interesting to see how the show drives sales of the video games and how you can use that to kind of make the whole of the sales greater than the sum of its parts so I'm watching that really carefully

I recommend Gates of Fire it comes off the Marine commandant's reading list it's on there perennially it is about the Battle of Thermopylae it's the 300 Spartans but it's the whole back story and if you get into it it's about leadership it's about courage but it's about creativity and it's really well written so that's one that I recommend a lot

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Hardware, services4 years
Software5 years
Podcasts, courses, other8 years
Books25 years
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
