What I'm Reading, Listening To, and Watching

I'm still reading The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson.
I've also started reading The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch.
Went to the movies again. I saw Bad Boys: Ride or Die and actually enjoyed it. My expectations were low going in. It's hard to believe that the first one was released nearly 30 years ago.
I've continued watching Dark Matter. Really good.
