Defenestration

With Michail Rogatjev joining the ranks of Russian oligarchs mysteriously falling out of windows, it feels morbidly appropriate that all of the family is off to Prague on Saturday which, after all, is sort of the historic capital of defenestrations. Staying three nights in an Airbnb next to the Vltava River, we hope to explore everything from the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art to a model railway restaurant at the Wenceslas Square before swinging by Amsterdam for two more days in the Netherlands.

Completing my 4000th Strava activity at Nordic Wellness today, I was reminded of the importance of consistency, but also how much time and effort that I have actually put into my running since I started (in earnest) back in 2017. 

Meanwhile, yesterday’s post on pronatalism keeps generating reactions which is always appreciated. As often when writing here, rather than in a research article, I have a tendency to simplify things, and I am fully aware that these are complex issues with many possible arguments and counter-arguments. As such, I should perhaps have taken more care to clarify that I do not in any way support the broader cultural goals of the pronatalist movement and that nuclear energy, as much as I happen to love it, is only one important tool of many needed to stabilize the global climate.
