Word of the Day: 遵守
I just trying to finish my TODOs but I will admit I am getting a bit overwhelmed. I am sort of not sure if I should count when the Paper Project is "done" and the TODO isn't... does that mean I can still do things for the Paper Project? I am not sure. I haven't figured out this case scenario.

The Devil's Lettuce
We're all sitting here in a world where you can buy cannabis infused seltzer at a boutique shop that looks like an Apple store... but for about 80 years, the government treated this plant like it was a literal demon from the seventh circle of Hell. Why? Was it because it was actually dangerous? Please. If being dangerous was the criteria, we would have also banned lawn darts and gender reveal parties decades ago.

How big seafood companies can help reduce illegal fishing
The global seafood industry is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and at its heart lies an uncomfortable truth: a significant portion of the fish that lands on dinner tables around the world has been caught illegally. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing — the full name for what most people simply call illegal fishing — accounts for an estimated 20% of the global catch, costing the world economy up to $23 billion a year. For anyone who cares about the ocean, that number is staggering. But here is where things get interesting: the best exotic fish exporters, the massive processing conglomerates, and the global seafood brands that dominate supermarket shelves are not just bystanders in this crisis. They are, in many ways, the most powerful force capable of ending it.

The Culmination Toward
Or a mistake? I woke up this morning with coffee and a little exercise. Having showered and gotten ready, I decided on a course of oatmeal with peanut butter. Most of my life saw me hesitant to eat it, because I always found myself having to use the bathroom not too long after.
