I'm enjoying reading [The
Peripheral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peripheral) while I await the
release of Children of Memory.

It's a bit strange just how wildly different the plot is between The Peripheral
book and The Peripheral TV show. They're both fun but are really just entirely
different plots involving the same characters.

I'm also slowly reading [Buddhism without
beliefs](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/90557.Buddhism_without_Beliefs`).
I've heard the author on a few podcasts

[If books could
kill](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/if-books-could-kill/id1651876897)
is my favorite new podcast.

I'm really enjoying Mastodon these days. It has a nice "early Twitter" feel but
with a lot more people than Twitter did at the time, for me.
