Read "The Plague" in the pool at a B&B in Greece overlooking the coast. Made the beauty and indulgence of my location seem so fragile - easily punctuated by something like a disease - and more vivid for seeming more fragile. & made the book itself so fraught, in contrast.

16. Just as ships like the Ever Given are bigger and more efficient, they are also far riskier. And let's be clear, what happened in Suez is a minor problem compared to what *could* happen with these giant dumb ships. mattstoller.substack.com/p/the-big-dumb…
15. Industrial crashes are happening in unpredictable ways, shutting down important production systems in semi-random fashion. These were rare prior to the 1990s. But industrial crashes were built into the post-1990s globalization, which prioritizes efficiency over resiliency.
