It's been just over two years since I last took a break from Twitter.
I decided to delete it this time. Re-read what I wrote, plus a nudge from my girlfriend. Time to focus my energies on more important things in life.
I believe President Biden will announce he is withdrawing from the 2024 race imminently.
An interesting read from Scott Galloway who writes about the “male ego, family dynamics, and scenario planning” involved with the decision.

Not If, When I believe President Biden will announce he is withdrawing from the 2024 race imminently. Just as anybody who’s seen a commercial or a logo believes they’re an expert in advertising and design, I’ve convinced myself I have insights into the inner workings of the Beltway. I don’t.

Wonderful write-up at NY Times about Conan O'Brien and his latest projects.
O’Brien’s return might have been that it was overshadowed by “Hot Ones.” For 30 minutes, O’Brien made every previous episode of that show look bland, hijacking the interview, adopting a swaggering idiot persona, hilariously taunting the host and swigging entire bottles of hot sauce while becoming increasingly unhinged.

In The 15-Minute City: A Solution for Saving Our Time and Our Planet, human city pioneer and international scientific advisor Carlos Moreno delivers an exciting and insightful discussion of the deceptively simple and revolutionary idea that everyday destinations like schools, stores, and offices should only be a short walk or bike ride away from home.
A new book that is coming out soon. After doing a little more reading, over 100 cities around the world have started to adopt his ideas after the pandemic. Reminds me of the 100-Mile Diet.
Added to my reading list.
