I have to admit that the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 7th is my favorite piece in classical music, and I often listen to it multiple times when playing the symphony.

Watch Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster | Netflix Official Site OceanGate's Titan tourist submersible imploded in 2023 on a deep-sea dive to the Titanic. This documentary details how a bold vision ended in tragedy.

Great idea!

In all seriousness, the Netflix documentary "Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster" is well worth a watch. Keyword: HUBRIS

Rowling's 24/7 commitment to being an absolute nightmare ghoul is sort of extraordinary. She has every option in the world for how to spend her life and she commits herself entirely to hatred and self-righteous mean-spiritedness; some are more effective at evil but nobody puts in the hours like her.

Opinion | I gained 20 pounds of muscle. Hereโ€™s what I learned. Three years and 20 pounds of muscle later, Iโ€™ve learned that everything โ€” and nothing โ€” changes.

My latest: I wrote about my journey to put on 20 pounds of muscle as a woman.

And how my life changed because of strength training/bodybuilding.

I'm receiving a lot of replies re: my immigration woes. I appreciate suggestions. I don't have the energy to reply to everyone - I'm very depressed about the situation. I've been stuck in the USA for 15 days. I'm running out of drugs and will likely miss my MRI. Still nothing from the Home Office.

I was one of the 350,000 who cancelled the @washingtonpost.com due to the actions of BeesKnees and Will Lewis. My sub ends in January and I think I'll go with The Guardian, although I'm open to suggestions. The NYT is NOT an option. #newspapers #censorship

Rebuilding Faces, Lives and a Sense of Self in Ukraine

A fascinating piece about the incredible, selfless work being done by surgeons in Ukraine to rebuild the faces of those injured by the conflict. There's a mention of Harold Gillies/WW1 too, with a link to a review of my book, The Facemaker.
