This is the first I’ve heard of a problem. Not sure what to make of it absent more information.

Lori’s Book
Courtney Stadd has a lengthy review of it.
Light Posting
I’m going down to Long Beach in a few minutes for the Space Tech Expo today and tomorrow. Then on Thursday I’ll be flying to DC for the ISDC. I’ll have my laptop with me, but not sure how much posting I’ll be able to do. It’s the first space conferences I’ve attended since the beginning of the plague, so I’ll have a lot of networking and catching up to do. Consider this an open thread, and be good in comments.

It’s worth noting that if one goes by the French Mistress Rule (divide by two, add seven), the actress Dern was a little too young for Neill in the original (if he was 43, she should have been at least 28), but her character, who would have been in her late twenties/early thirties, was not. And now, with him in his seventies, he’d be able to date women in their forties, and she’s now in her fifties. Which makes it all the more absurd.
The Babylon Bee
…has obtained dirt on Hillary Cli
In related news, I think that the odds that Robby Mook will mysteriously commit suicide went way up last week.
Roger Angell
A great writer about baseball (perhaps the greatest) has left us.
This is a beautiful piece he wrote on aging eight years ago.
A New Longevity Supplement
This looks promising. We’ve been taking one that contains both NAD+ and Resveratrol. It’s pricey, but I think it’s worth it.
Western Aid To Ukraine
Haas it deterred China from grabbing Taiwan?

The wheels are sort of coming off the Russian army.
