The eclipse was very awesome, even though our view of totality was obscured by thick clouds
I am not enjoying being back at work

Rivers of London (a.k.a. Peter Grant) series by Ben Aaronovitch
Kill Show by Daniel Sweren-Becker:
- Finished. I have thoughts that I will write up, but in short: did not like.
Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh:
- Finished. Not a terrible read, but plot is weakly held together and, while some character development is excellent, it is uneven. Would recommend to younger readers or the less critical! Good treatment of gender and sexuality.
Pax by Tom Holland (unfortunately, not Spider-Man Tom Holland):
- I am so bored of the Roman Empire, why did I borrow this
Far too many articles saved from Mastodon

Know Your Enemy, always
Nothing But Thieves
Julian Lage has a new record and it is brilliant. Linked is one of my favorites tracks, unconventional and eminently listenable, approachable but weird, with sparks of virtuosity.

Mostly nothing at the moment
Okay, not entirely true. I watch quite a fair bit of YouTube when I have downtime
Just started: Watchmen, the HBO series (I watch things very slowly, so I'll probably finish this in 2025, assuming I haven't cut ~~cable~~ streaming by then
Recently finished: the series Luther with my partner (have not seen the movie). This wasn't new to me, but it was to her. I would've stopped after a couple series, as the quality suffers, but we stuck it out and it was... a little more interesting with a rewatch.
