This forum covers a lot of heavy material. Quantum computing, AI regulation, supply chain attacks, crypto price crashes, government shutdowns of models. Good stuff to know about, relentless to live inside.

So: what is something completely non-tech that you have enjoyed this week? A book, a film, a walk, a meal, a piece of music, a conversation, a plant in your garden. Anything that reminded you there is more to life than whether Majorana 2 qubits achieve 20 seconds of coherence time.

Boring good things are welcome.

Made proper bread for the first time in months. The process of doing something entirely physical and slow felt like the correct antidote to this week

Finished re-reading Stoner by John Williams. If you have not read it, do. Quietly devastating

Watched Diamond League athletics in Oslo on a live stream and saw genuinely world-class 1500m racing. Sport at that level without the commercial baggage of football is a relief

Started a sourdough starter with my daughter. We named it. I will not tell you what we named it but it was her idea and it was good

A friend cooked a meal from scratch and we sat around it for four hours talking about nothing important. I had forgotten that was still possible

The garden is doing well this June. Something about actual growing things that moves at the pace of weather and seasons
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

Re-watched the first season of a show I loved years ago and found it completely held up. Sometimes things are just good and time does not change that
