Got my flu shot (left arm) and COVID booster (right arm). Sometimes it's better to get the flu shot in November, but not this year, I hear; the antipodean flu season peaked early, and they expect the same to happen here, or so I understand. Did you get yours yet?

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

“there are roughly 2,000 people on death row nationwide” and I wonder how many could be actually innocent. “Since 1973, at least 203 people who were wrongly convicted & sentenced to death in the U.S. have been exonerated” The death penalty is cruel & unusual punishment. And expensive & unnecessary.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register
