I'm having a hard time with talk shows and political comedy. I can't laugh at that stuff anymore, and that sucks.

Strike! Workers have the power. Labor Unions built the US, and the destruction of Unions in the last 30 years created greater income inequality, which laid the groundwork for the current authoritarian regime. Protests have limited impact - you gotta hit them in their profits.

wow this is exhausting. I mean, sure, Valentino made some pretty dresses, but this is pretty much the patriarchy in one statement.

sigh...I miss when this was controversial. (which it shouldn't be because it's appropriate for summer in DC). Below, in the comments, is my ever-so-proper professorial father in the 80's wearing his summer suit.

Noah Wylie won instead of Diego Luna? Andor was the best show of the decade. Those award shows are idiots.

Loved this beautiful movie. I almost didn't watch it because the training the AI about human emotions, but it's more like a speculative fairy tale on motherhood.

Oh, I just finished T. Kingfisher's Helmlock & Silver. 5 stars. So much of what I love in stories: fairytales, magic, smart women, a little bit of romance, and evil vanquished. But it's the writing, not the structure, that kept me reading. Read this book, dammit. #booksky

Watched the new Running Man—flat characters, except for Michael Cena (most authentic character). Really wanted more running - it's in the fracking title. And they wimped out about the potential revolution and populist rising (i wanted a rebellion like Andor).
