2024 was the year I finally got around to reading the first two Three body problem books. **Little spoiler alert** Really enjoyed them and it's made me think a lot more about science in the context of society and particularly existential threats.

"raw dogging a 7 hour flight" bro I can't raw dog a 5 minute car ride😭😂
Learning to speak Tamil, while being able to understand about 60% of spoken Tamil is so strange. And learning from first gen immigrant family is fun and frustrating. I find myself having to clarify and re-clarify meanings because well...Tamil is quite a different language to English and Latin langs
