Just completed Mark Twain by Ron Chernow (@ronaldchernow.bsky.social). A wonderful, albeit long, book. The book explores both Mark Twain & Samuel Clemens in equal measure. I didn't know as much as I thought about his work & realized that I knew nothing about the man.

Traveling is always a great experience. It opens your eyes to the world around you and reminds you what you love most about home.

Just finished reading The Redemption of Time by Baoshu. A fascinating addition to the #ThreeBodyProblem universe. Gives another layer to one of the more profound science fiction series that I have read (by @liu-cixin.bsky.social). Highly recommend the series and this addition!!

Here is the story of one home that survived the LA fire because it was built with fire resistant materials. Hopefully, this can serve as a blueprint for those whose homes were destroyed and can be built back better.
Thoughts for all those affected.

Don't oppose a recharacterization per se, but feel that this is motivated by reasons NOT 2 cover new weight loss meds. There's data that those of S. & E. Asian descent have increased risk of diseases at BMI less than 30 ( around 27.5). Doubt inc coverage 4 them
