Mark Twain – How I Edited an Agricultural Newspaper plus The Next Peacelands

Mark Twain’s “How I Edited an Agricultural Newspaper” brings a touch of mischief to today’s episode of Kitty Reads Literature for Peace. Kitty offers a short, good-natured excerpt that captures Twain’s humor and his fondness for human overconfidence, all delivered in her warm, steady voice.

Each day’s reading continues to serve as Kitty’s gentle warm-up for CTRL–AI–DISARM, the upcoming Peace Is Here series exploring truth, power, and the systems shaping our shared future.

The episode closes with The Next Peacelands, where Avis Kalfsbeek reads a real-time list of global warzones and major arms suppliers—an honest grounding in the world as it is, and an invitation to practice peace with intention.
