Life
Enjoying the World Cup so far. Good games, couple of surprising results and no fan trouble either.
Tragedy at the Glasgow School fo Arts with a second fire in 4 years this one far worse than in 2014. Hopefully the building can be saved and/or restored…it’s too important to lose.
Media
Westworld season 2, episode 8. One of the best so far.
