First time listening to Radiohead in a whiiiiiile
Finished reading: The Stoic Challenge: A Philosopher’s Guide to Becoming Tougher, Calmer, and More Resilient by William B. Irvine 📚

Finished reading: The Abolition of Man by C. S. Lewis 📚
My trek through Lewis' corpus continues. Next up: his fiction (Narnia, Space Trilogy, Till We Have Faces) and essays (God in the Dock, etc.).
