    Just finished season one of The Day of the Jackal and it was great. Will be going back to watch the movie. Just starting The Pitt which is a hospital drama akin to ER but is supposed to be outstanding - sounds like a great background show.

    Adolescence blew me away - beyond, just the technical achievement. The topic was interesting and the acting was spectacular. Episode 3 and the final really truly blew me away with the human emotion. Plan on checking out White Lotus at some point as everyone seems to be talking about it.

    Excited to get to Side Quest as I love Mythic Quest.

    Curious as to if anyone has worked through some of the list or not and whether they have any suggestions before I start.

    I've honestly spent a lot of time reading some of the latest papers on AI to get some basis down. Plan on also digging into using Prophet from Meta a bit and dig into some random data.

    So many great movies listed on this list but it was a reminder that I want to pick up the UHD 4k version of Dunkirk. What a beautifully shot movie.

    Currently reading Demon Copperfield and can't put it down.

    Demon Copperhead is a 2022 novel by Barbara Kingsolver. It was a co-recipient of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and won the 2023 Women's Prize for Fiction. Kingsolver was inspired by the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield.[1][2] While Kingsolver's novel is similarly about a boy born into poverty, Demon Copperhead is set in Appalachia and explores contemporary issues.

    I was listening to 32 thoughts and they were projecting somewhere between 3-5 with his camp wanting the longest possible - going for five. It'll be interesting to see how this impacts William Nylander who is heading into the final year of his deal.
