Hard question - maybe building my business. It’s allllmoooost breaking out to a real success, financially.
I wanted to say family, but I don’t think excited is quite the right word.
I’m really enjoying my daughter getting deeper into volleyball and loving it. She just started high school and it’s fun to see that change.
They say these years go fast, so I’m trying to soak it all in and enjoy it while I can.
Baffling to me is that there’s a whole industry of “writers” who are just businesses that hire ghost writers and publish under a pseudonym on Amazon publishing.
I met a guy whose pseudonym is known for vampire romance novels. He doesn’t write them, of course. He has a whole team. He says teenage girls read them. Crazy!
Recent novels I’ve read are a mix. Here are a couple female authors I’ve enjoyed lately.
I love Emily St. John Mandel. Station 11 is amazing and Glass Hotel is good too.
Also The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North was great.
1. Try to arrive in the morning
2. Force yourself to get out and walk 15k+ steps your first day
3. Do not go to sleep before 8pm
That usually prevents jet lag for me. Sucks day 1 but after that is good.
What are some of your favorite smaller cities/suburbs?
I’m with you. Big cities are fun for a little while. The older I get, the less I like being there for long periods of time.
Really frustrating to watch, and then I remembered the UK doesn’t have or understand freedom of speech.
Bad, but worse would be if this were in the US.
Serious question - I heard nostr is bad for privacy. Leaks your IP, etc.
Is this true? If so, do we have a path to privacy while promoting permissionless speech? I’m a tech dummy. Thank you.

No emo - you must hate Kdrama then 😆
Some Korean movies are good, but they’re usually the grittier ones. Others are unbelievably sappy.
I love Korean culture, lived there, and want to watch more of their movies and shows, but inevitably they get to an absurdly emotional scene and I just can’t take it.
Nice, but would people actually wake up? And 4 more years of one could send us into a terrible war.
I’m hopeful for a better candidate. Realistic? Unsure, but hopeful.
Can he win? I hope so, but history hasn’t been good to third parties.
Except, Neil Howe talks in the fourth turning that there’s often a political realignment and the parties reshuffle.
Could this be the time?
