Living in a 1930s house in California, so there's a significant risk of old-house stories. Otherwise, expect some combination of cooking, computers, biochemistry, skiing, and hiking.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

If you're wondering why so many of your apps and services aren't working properly this morning, it's because the AWS region US-EAST-1 is having... some problems, and that's where quite a lot of apps and services host what they need to function (👋 hi Duolingo, NYT Games etc)

I have come around to this basic point of view for reals - we need to start restructuring corporate law so corporations have fewer rights than real people, and remedies well beyond fines for their criminal acts.
what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers
