Mostly running on the flat in the mountains.

obviously it isn’t going to snow, but is too early to start asking the question?

What kind of person is thrown in jail for stealing a few dollars? Someone who is poor, with few possessions and little wealth.

more than strong regulation and enforcement, more than "ethical and responsible" AI research/product development, this right here is the kind of change in the world that I long for

Saturday morning track session. 400s. What a stunning morning for it.

Ugg, it's so frustrating reading mainstream articles on climate change.

What will it take for climate activists to realize that climate change is not a threat but a promise? Not a failing but a strategy?

So many adorable pics of cats and dogs and little lambies. So little understanding that every pig, every sheep, every cow, every chicken, every fish is a complex sentient being with awareness and emotions, just as deserving of life and happiness as your pet.

Springtime in the Alps….

I was not expecting this.

A glorious morning for a run. 37K with 4 x 5K at marathon pace (1K recovery). The highlight was during the third rep when it was tough going, The Sisters of Mercy’s cover of Jolene by Dolly Parton came on the playlist. I wasn’t expecting that and it was excellent! :-)

@sujato.bsky.social Hello Bhante. I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your translations & Dhamma talks. I love the accessibility and clarity of your translations of the Suttas. You make studying the Dhamma and learning from it so much easier, which has made a huge difference to my life.

We live in a planet-wide climate crisis. This is a result of human actions, but not of every human equally. Yet we imprison activists who try to stop the extinction of humanity, while those who accelerate it are gifted with tax breaks and limitless immunity. Should it not be the other way around?

The snow on the track has nearly melted. :-)

Now that’s what I call a view!

Road running in the mountains in February. A bit sketchy in parts but so much better now I can finally ditch the crampons. 🕺🏼

Found a small loop (600 metres) this morning. Compacted snow underfoot, not ice. Ran round it for a couple of hours. The end.

Snowy jogging. It’s a bit of a slog but the views are pretty good.

Winter has definitely arrived in the Alps. This week we’ve had clear days and days where you can’t see the mountains as the cloud is too low. The walking crampons have made their first appearance of the winter. It won’t be the last.
