Jackson has been incredibly stable with chemo and cortisone. And Ollie has been showing signs of nerve regeneration. Little things. His reflexes weren’t hurt, but there was no voluntary movement. On Sunday, he wagged his tail. Last night, he 4-leg ran in his sleep. Improvement. 🥹

Otherwise, you’re not even talking “graphics.” It’s like you’re playing real-life. The Sniper Elite game takes place a little south of the Normandy beaches and, having been there several times, it’s almost like being there. The humans are a tad off, however.

Both Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky’s treatment in the press, socially, and politically revolted me, even as a middle-schooler (for AH). More so for ML when I was in college. That was just about how awful a society could act towards women who were the victims of powerful men. And then…2016.
