Sailboats on Lake Harriet.

Dozens of sailboats moored on calm glassy water, two red-hulled boats prominent in the foreground, tree-lined shore in the distance under a blue sky.

32 Years of Ukraine Independence

Ukraine is commemorating its 32nd year of independence today! 🇺🇦 It also marks the 547th day fighting Russia’s invasion. A stark reminder that independence isn’t simple or free.

I’ve been a subscriber of the Kyiv Independent since it launched. This is the best way to get direct English language news from Ukraine. Join me with a Kyiv Independent membership to be better informed and support independent journalism in Ukraine.

Today is also good day to read “Everything you didn’t know about Ukraine’s flag”. 🇺🇦

I just registered 55419.eth and 55021.eth since the previous registrant let them lapse. The subnames capabilities in ENS make these zip code names interesting.

Making Sense: Health & Longevity with Peter Attia

The Health & Longevity episode of Making Sense with Sam Harris is a great overview of Peter Attia’s new book Outlive.

Sam Harris speaks with Peter Attia about his book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity. They discuss “healthspan,” centenarians, diet and nutrition, sugar, macronutrients, alcohol, fasting and time-restricted eating, exercise, Zone 2 training, heart disease, blood pressure, cholesterol, cancer, brain health, metabolic disorders, proactive medical testing, medication side effects, Rapamycin, emotional health, and other topics.

I actually listened to all three hours myself, and then listened again as a whole family. As a subscriber to Making Sense, I can now share the full length episode for anyone to listen to.

It is worth a listen and am now reading the book.

It was our families first time seeing Pink, but it was my Sister Alona and Craig’s fourth time. The show was amazing. So much energy, and the acrobatics were incredible. Such a range too with quiet moments and huge ones. An amazing night! 🎶
