This trip to Maroon Bells, Colorado, 19 years ago, convinced me to never go backpacking again.
Youtube suggested a channel to me that brought that trip to mind. It’s about people who die on hiking trips.
Fitness influencer banned from flight for attempting to board ‘naked’ amid record-breaking heatwave
Edda Elisa, a fetching fitness influencer from Germany, was denied entry on a Lufthansa flight after a gate agent allegedly accused her of being “naked” as a “catastrophic” heatwave plagues Europe.
Elisa is fetching, but time and place do matter.
The gate agent is maintaining standards for public behavior, and Lufthansa should back her up.

The Obama Presidential Library is not a handsome building, but it reminds me of something. No, not a prick, marital aid, or anything like that. I can’t quite place it.

Japan suffered deadliest month of bear attacks in history, with 7 deaths and 88 maulings in October
Alaska averages about one death by bear attack per year.
Because it’s Japan, there has to be some odd cultural practice they aren’t telling us. Like for Halloween, everybody dresses like bears to parade through the woods, or honey-scented backpacks are popular.
A new theme park is coming to Saudi Arabia thanks to MrBeast
Bill Gates has to be our worst billionaire. He started the Gates Foundation to fix intractable problems so everyone would love him. He managed to jam himself into tough problems, screw things up, then move on to the next problem. Just unbearable.
MrBeast is trying something fun.
Flying used to be fun. People dressed up, the stewardesses were posh, and everyone was a little excited.
