Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Shelby Foote was an American treasure. Never realized Foote never graduated college. Guessing he had more knowledge of the Civil War than any PhD.
- Peter Attia on the relationship between health anxiety and mortality. Hypochondriacs were found to have a 69% chance of all-cause mortality. Being a hypochondriac is literally bad for your health.
- 25 blogs guaranteed to make you smarter. Following these blogs is really worthwhile.
- Joe Biden never considered the "specifics" of the 1,500 people he commuted. Some of these people are considered "monsters" by their victims and its rumored that the only "specifics" he considered was how much cash they were giving to "the big guy."
There's a great interview from long ago on CSPAN with Shelby Foote. Long but a good interview.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look that up. Read his three volume history of the Civil War - like you say long but good.
