- Finally watched #JurassicWorld Rebirth. I'm a fan of the franchise and I don't subscribe to the criticizing of (sci-fi) movies as if they were "documentaries". Still, it's interesting how #monsters are often portrayed as thriving (exclusively) in tropical jungles. A bit too 18th century, isn't it?

- Fellow (digital) book worms: which e-reader do you recommend? I'm looking for a device in which I can read both ebooks and PDFs, while also being able to highlight sections of the text. Something that doesn't push the user into a subscription model (e.g., Kindle) would also be great. Thanks :)
