My kids want to be able to play wordle, but with the wordle bot.
I love New York Times games.
I want to be able to play my own games.
I have a book that has some things in common with Fear and Fury.
I think the sort of immediacy of political atmosphere is one of them.
But this is a memoir.
This is called Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young by Zayd Ayers Dorn.
And the author is the son of two former members of the 1960s radical group, the Weathermen, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn.
And when he was born, his parents were already established radicals.
And much of his childhood was spent literally on the run.
Like, I listened to this book.
He's a wonderful narrator.
And I really recommend it.
Because hearing his own childhood memories in his voice adds a dimension to this that, like, it almost takes you out of the sort of high-stakes political context.
Because he talks about how one of his earliest memories, it was almost like a game he played with his parents.
How do you spot a plain-clothes cop?
And I can totally imagine that being framed as a game, but I also feel, reading this as an adult, the life or death stakes for the kid.
And it's a really complicated inheritance, to say the least, because I think as he is writing this book—
He's able to see that his parents didn't always put his own safety or well-being over their political affiliations and sort of grappling with that.
I think every child has that moment when the mythology around their parents or their family begins to crumble, right?
