#Saw some unnecessary road rage last night, everything is just fraying for the smallest things anymore.
Today:
Some random history links I’ve been adding into course materials:
- Jack London, Jack Johnson, and the Fight of the Century
- The Conspiracist Cotton Mather
- What’s Wrong with the American Revolution by Ken Burns
- Thoreau in Good Faith
Status: Decent sleep, but still feel like I’m dragging.
Reading: Martyr!, Kaveh Akbar. Slowly.
Listening: USA Women’s Hockey v. Czechia. I’m ambivalent about the Olympics this year for obvious reasons, but it’s still the Olympics, the two week orgy of sports nearly impossible to see any other time in the US.
Last Watched: We’re into the 5th season of Game of Thrones, I’ve increasingly liked it more than I thought. Again, not the highbrow TV a lot of people saw it as in my view, but an enjoyable watch nonetheless.
