Just watched The Shitthropocene - Welcome to the Age of Cheap Crap — well played, Patagonia. Love to see thoughtful, values-driven, creative output from companies like this. Good for the soul.

A masterpiece. Brilliant story while bending the mind, all the while remaining faithful to science.

The Bourne Identity, 2002

The Wild Robot, 2024 - ★★★★½
A lovely film in the theme of 'technology meets nature,' but with faithfulness to nature's beauty as the default state of affairs. Watching it brought back memories of the Iron Giant and other similar movies but provides a brand new storyline just the same, complete with beautiful animation.

Finished reading: Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman 📚
My primary takeaway is to eat more natural / plant-based food. More concretely: I came away from the variety of factors Fuhrman presents with motivation around and some tricks to support implementing the changes to act accordingly.
One of the more interesting propositions was that the beneficial mechanisms behind the fruits and vegetables we eat aren’t fully understood just yet. This could explain why isolated nutrients (and activities / actions) often don’t achieve all of the benefits of the original source.
While the beginning comes across strongly and the overarching book is compelling, it criticizes the structure of arguments made by others but then seems to make those same errors later on in support of its own narrative. Walking away from the book, I’d say I enjoyed it and appreciated it as a front-loaded text with clear call-to-action.
