Elon Musk can't help himself when it comes to tweeting, and his opinions on many matters are gross and/or deeply misguided, and thus him owning Twitter and taking all the guardrails off it has come back to bite him once again. sfist.com/2023/11/17/elon-mu…

Cormac McCarthy has died at the age of 89.
In 2012, we detailed what we learned from the Cormac McCarthy Papers. The archives gave us a unique look inside the working method of an artist who spoke little about his own work. slate.trib.al/Gev8BWD
Talk shit about the “decline” of San Francisco all you want but the vibes of taking a day off and enjoying a pint at Zeitgeist on a sunny Monday are still unbeatable and unchanged after 20 years.

Being able to notice and track when my heart rate was spiking, and using that as an indicator to lay the fuck back down on the couch was probably the only reason I actually got enough rest while sick. Rest is critical for good covid recovery, quantifying it even more so!
