Interestingly, the very first I heard about this Saka / F1 “controversy” was on @charleswatts.bsky.social’s podcast. He’s right that it’s a nothingburger - but I was glad that I hadn’t seen any of it. Benefits of being off Twitter I suppose

Two fun videos to share. We just finished having a fence built in our backyard so that our poodle, Hugo, can run around. Here's the first time we let him out off-leash. He was hesitant for a bit before bounding around happily. Really fun moment!

I increasingly find the understanding that “two things can be true” to be a hallmark of intelligent thinking. (Not always, not exclusively!) I’m making an effort to remind myself of this more.

Took a quick walking detour through Ribadesella today. Definitely would like to come back in better weather. Gorgeous spot.

There are legitimate issues with the pharmaceutical industry and how it's regulated; the wellness industry is even more predatory, like it's not even close. Woo woo bullshit on par with leeches and humors
