Finished reading: Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells is another fun, short Murderbot story. I like that these are staying simple and sarcasticπŸ“š

Best feature of the hotel: two fresh pancakes with the press of a button

Finished reading: Enemy of All Mankind by Steven Johnson is fascinating. The importance of a seemingly small incident is really well explained and shows how such a thing can reverberate through history πŸ“š

Finished reading: The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef includes some good tips for keeping an open mind and incorporating constructive feedback πŸ“š

πŸ“Ί Star Trek: Picard (Season 3) - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜†

Definitely the best of the three seasons. Leverages a lot of nostalgia which is okay with me. Nice to clean up after the Nemesis debacle and give these characters a proper ending.

So impressed with this team. My niece has been great in net. πŸ₯…πŸ’

Finished reading: A Beginner’s Guide to the End by B. J. Miller and Shoshana Berger. I’m grateful that I didn’t need to read this book now. That said, this is an important topic, best thought about when it isn’t an emergency. Despite a few America-specific points that don’t apply to this Canadian, there’s lots of useful and careful advice in this book πŸ“š

We enjoyed the Stranger Things Experience. A fun mix of live, interactive action and pre-filmed material.

πŸ“Ί Servant (2019) - β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜†β˜†

A good show. Relies pretty heavily on creepy mood, rather than plot, and dark humour.

Finished reading: The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul is full of great content. I was much more cerebral in my youth and have been externalizing thought much more productively recently. This book helps confirm the approach and adds new techniques πŸ“š
