Plague Tale Requiem. Beautiful albeit some glitches here and there.

Oh, thank goodness. I may now have to go back and revisit in that case.

Good point. I enjoyed the book, but the show was just phenomenal. A testament to the caliber of production to be sure.

I was really surprised by the book (I read it after watching the series). It is rare that I feel a TV adaptation of a story is more engaging than the the book, but that was certainly my takeaway in this instance.

Watched Our Planet, season 2 episode 2, and just started weeping uncontrollably when I saw the baby Albatross dying from being fed plastics and other toxic waste. I had to tap out.

Yea, choose a metric line, e.g., Iambic pentameter—really spice things up!

Right, that just makes sense to me anyway. Like, wouldn’t you want better gas mileage for your day-to-day vehicle I get not everyone can afford multiple vehicles but I’d think if you can afford a tank you could probably?

People driving massive, gas-guzzling tanks are safer on the road at the expense of every reasonably sized vehicle. Unless you need a larger SUV or truck for a specific purpose, i.e. for work or hauling, get off the fucking road with these damn things. My brother-in-law died last week in an accident involving a Ford 550 that stalled in the fast lane. BIL driving SUV for work; couldn’t stop in time, rammed into back of 550, killed. The driver of Ford 550? Uninjured.

This, of course, doesn’t even begin to touch on unnecessary over consumption of fuel, which is an equally significant concern.

I’ve been saying this for years but the death of my brother in law really drove home the point for me—if you’re not using your behemoth tank for work or specific use case hauling—you have no business driving it, and should not be allowed to use as everyday commuter vehicle.

Finally some hopeful news about the shit going on in congress.

Meanwhile, as a lady, I’ve started buying men’s tee shirts exclusively. Maybe I’ll turn to men’s pants for pockets next.

I chortled at this one, LOL.

Oh, absolutely. No hate to the customer service woman. I realize she was probably under pressure from the powers that be, but nevertheless, she enforced the absurd policy (understandably, girl’s gotta eat), didn’t make the experience any more palatable for me, however.
