Simulating a free college education by lending students money to pay to institutions, and then forgiving (part of) that debt is second-best compared to just providing a free college education. But it is much better than trapping another generation in debt peonage.

This article is powerfully anti-fitspo:

You don’t have to know much about me to know that the latest video from The Bioneer on training for longevity is like catnip for me:
You will not be surprised to learn that the advice comes down to move more, move more diversely, and learn a lot. (Of course, adding diverse complex movements is learning.) But there is also specific useful advice re: power, bone density, tendon strength, etc.

A submission I made yesterday required a synopsis. I didn’t have one, and a quickly scribbled one starkly revealed all that was flawed with the story. Clearly I should write a synopsis as soon as I know shape of a story, and use the insight produced to improve the story.

I nipped into Harvest Market this morning to pick up a couple of fillets of fjord trout, while Jackie baked a pie with the Zestar apples we bought a few days ago.
Fillets seasoned with just salt and pepper, and cooked in a cast iron skillet with a little coconut oil. Delicious!

Went to #CurtisOrchard with @jackieLbrewer and got a half peck of Zestar apples. I’ve not tried this variety before, but @limako speaks highly of them.
Very nice. They taste more like I remember apples tasting in my youth than modern varieties like Honey Crisp, Cosmic Crisp, or even Pink Lady.

According to some site that @jackieLbrewer checked, the day the ragweed pollen count gets high isn’t for two more days. According to my nose, today is that day.
