longevity isn't really about—shouldn't be about—making 90 year olds live to 120. it's not about experimental treatments for the rich. it's not about supplements. it's about deploying medicine—antiretrovirals, vaccines, stuff that we know works—so people do not die young. slate.com/technology/2...

this Thanksgiving exercise is kind of brilliant slate.com/life/2024/11...
![A screenshot of a portion of the article in the link. The text suggests that at thanksgiving you should have everyone go around the table and say a few things they want to be appreciated for. Then, everyone says “I appreciate you for [whatever they said].”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ox6cix4eqs4mjerfqqkiy7un/bafkreigmddxx76i5n7j3cqddwhnhwbresrawy5wnmyanrbg6lpl5ez62wa@jpeg)
