I think it just shows the difference between “I have a security camera so if something happens to my house, I can maybe see who did it” to “we are using all of this to track everyone and everything, everywhere.” They just thought the dog would make people view it positively.

And gave Jenny McCarthy a stage to spout her anti-vaccine bs.

But first, we had Kendra - who was also awesome!

I need them to be louder and angrier - I need them to vote against everything, I need them to all say abolish ICE. They might not be able to do much but they can make it look like a fight rather than appeasement.

I didn’t like it - but I also hated The Secret History. If you like The Secret History, you are much more likely to enjoy this one.

How is Kelpie already 3? You just got her, she’s a baby.

She doesn’t describe it as racist but her earlier posts in the thread do call out putting infants at risk

I mean, I could see where of the examples listed, TV might be the weakest example but if you compare it to today’s media, it still expected/required a different level of engagement from the viewer.

I was just telling some people at book club about this novel over the weekend (we read The Enchanted Greenhouse for November) and how much I enjoyed it. Did not even know this expanded edition was coming.

I read a lot about the Holocaust and WW2 high school onward, have always avoided lightning bolt art etc because it’s too easy to end up with something that looks like an S, but I totally missed this symbol. I think my brain just blanks over insignia and rank so I likely saw it, it just didn’t stick.

He was the dad to the measles patient in The Pitt.

Feels like typical tech bro didn’t finish the reading: “wait, what happened to Prometheus”… just like they are using all the cautionary sci-fi as inspiration for projects.

Jace used to play that game with any door in the house except he wouldn’t meow and sometimes be stuck in a room for hours. He’s the reason I had to put door pinch guards on every door.

Or don’t make them the nominee - there is still time to make someone else the Democratic nominee before we have to make this choice of Republican or questionable Democrat.
Just like we should find someone better than Newsom to be a presidential candidate. We don’t have to settle before the primary.

Have you read any Mira Grant? She has 2 “mermaid” novellas which are really good - Rolling in the Deep and Into the Drowning Deep?

Max Brooks’s Devolution was interesting (I preferred World War Z) - I especially enjoyed the supply chain part. But you might never feel safe going camping again.
