I think anyone who enjoys fiction would enjoy this book, but it’s a must-read for people who grew up in Western Washington like I did.

So I just recently picked up remarkably bright creatures which is this like lovely story about a woman who finds companionship with an octopus. And it sounds kind of wild but it's just a true in a world that's feeling intensely more isolated. it like brought me a lot of joy. Um, and I also really love, we talked a little bit about economic models and the ways in which we try to measure um, and derive truth about the world.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
