On today's reading list, for the first time ever by me:
Abaddon's Gate (The Expanse, Book 3, by James Corey, Kindle Edition)
Chapter 1: Holden
He was glad whoever built the casino had allowed for a place of relative calm. He wouldn't have been shocked to see a slot machine over the sink.
He put one hand on the wall to steady himself while he did his business. He was mid-stream when the room brightened for a moment and the chrome handle of the toilet reflected a faint blue light. The fear hit him in the gut.
Again.
"I swear to God," Holden said, pausing to finish and then zip up. "Miller, you better not be there when I turn around."
He turned around.
Miller was there.
"Hey," the dead man started.

Abaddon
From Wikipedia
The Hebrew term Abaddon ( meaning "destruction", "doom"), and its Greek equivalent Apollyon ( meaning "Destroyer") appear in the Bible as both a place of destruction and an archangel of the abyss. In the Hebrew Bible, abaddon is used with reference to a bottomless pit, often appearing alongside the place Sheol, meaning the realm of the dead.
In the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, an angel called Abaddon is described as the king of an army of locusts; his name is first transcribed in Koine Greek (Revelation 9:11 — "whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon,") and then translated, Apollyon. The Vulgate and the Douay–Rheims Bible have additional notes not present in the Greek text, "in Latin Exterminans", exterminans being the Latin word for "destroyer".

The Nobel Prize
Joseph Rotblat
The Nobel Peace Prize 1995
Born: 4 November 1908, Warsaw, Russian Empire (now Poland)
Died: 31 August 2005, London, United Kingdom
Residence at the time of the award: United Kingdom
Prize motivation: "for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and, in the longer run, to eliminate such arms."
Scientist Opposed to Nuclear Weapons
When Joseph Rotblat was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995, 50 years had passed since the atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But it was 52 years since Joseph Rotblat had first taken a stance against the development of the new weapons of mass destruction. In his opinion, science and research should serve the cause of peace.
Of Jewish descent, Rotblat was born in Warsaw, Poland. He studied physics and took up research in Great Britain in 1939. His work on splitting the atom led him to the conclusion that it was possible to produce an atomic bomb. In 1943 he was given permission to withdraw from the Manhattan Project, in which the United States and Great Britain were cooperating on the production of nuclear weapons. To Rotblat it was clear that Germany would not manage to make an atomic bomb before the war was over. He also feared that nuclear weapons might be used in a clash with the communist Soviet Union.
During the post-war period, Joseph Rotblat has done an enormous amount of work in the cause of peace, dialogue and disarmament through the Pugwash movement, with which he shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.

Elon Musk blasted for tweeting Adolf Hitler meme
BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO - 02/17/22 10:58 AM EST
Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is facing intense backlash after posting a meme on social media featuring Adolf Hitler.
Musk was responding on Twitter to a news report that the Canadian government had ordered financial institutions not to interact with dozens of crypto addresses tied to the nation's ongoing trucker protests.
In a post sent at 2:46 a.m., Musk tweeted a picture of Adolf Hitler with the caption
"[Musk] has exercised extremely poor judgment by invoking Hitler to make a point on social media," the American Jewish Committee said in a post of its own. "Comparing Trudeau to a genocidal dictator who murdered millions is not an appropriate way to criticize policies.
