There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system.

Because I shit twice yesterday.
There’s fewer people in poverty now than at any point in history.
The world has always been getting better in global measures of health, food and education if you consider all of humanity.
Even during the Dark Ages?
Yup.
They were geographically limited and not as dark as reported
Any recommended reading?
In general or about the dark ages?
Yes
Fiction: If you’re in for a multi-book series, I recommend the Amber chronicles by Roger Zelazny.
Dark Ages related: The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450-751 or The Long Morning of Medieval Europe
Spiritual/Philosophical: Audiobook of The Art of Mindful Living by Thich Nhat Hanh
I’ve read the Amber Chronicles, although it’s on my re-read list. Is the Dark Ages non-fiction?

Kemasabe! I love that channel!
That “hoy tu, mañana mi” reddit story.
Pass it forward is a good English phrase we don’t have in my language
Margaret Thatcher is still dead.
So is reagan!
I read this to my wife & she said, “ when Ronald Reagan died, he created the worlds first gender-neutral bathroom”.

Ok, so something more local but brightening my days since thursday when it happened: Leszek Moczulski finally croaked, a really ghoulish fascist antisemite that was consistently at the wrong side of history. Also in context of pissing on graves, his name means “of the piss” (core word “mocz” - urine)
I wonder how Reagan’s is doing
There is a very skittish mare that I leave alone because of said skittishness. Today while browsing my phone I was leaning on the stall wall right by her not paying attention when suddenly she came up and put her head next to mine in a “what are we looking at” kind of gesture. She stayed there for a bit while I was trying my best to stay still and not let my excitement show too much. It made me feel special.
If you were born near the turn of the century, you will likely see fusion power, peopled-mars missions, an end to colonialism, a shared global peace, and the beginning of a star trek future within your lifetime, thanks to the PRC and many other countries.
