This quote by Seneca is especially relevant in these days.

bit of wisdom dropped from @mariofraioli.bsky.social in one of his recent newsletters. Always appreciated!

just saw the following line in a newsletter that I read, 3/4 of the way in and 4 bullets down. How is this being normalized??

Not sure how I haven’t heard Disturbed’s cover of “The Sound of Silence”, which was released in 2015, before now. Song slaps and fits this past week.

Played Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny with my two best friends growing up. It was an amazing adventure that we thoroughly sunk into.
Recently bought and started a new game for a bit of nostalgia. Concurrently playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on honour mode.
Amazing where we started to where are today.
