My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.
So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

Periodic reminder that Musk read several sci-fi novels by a Scottish social democrat about a society with no money, no scarcity, the ability to change genders anytime, and in which the villains were always rich guys or fascists, and his takeaway was "the ship names are funny"
also obviously Musk didnt know what mad max was about it seems

Parents are worried enough about the state of America's public education system. Reading scores have hit a twenty-year low, and chronic absenteeism is on the rise. We need to work together to reimagine our public schools for the 21st century, not bring a wrecking ball to them.

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

WICKED PROBLEMS was published April 9 2024, and should be eligible for novel awards. The Craft Sequence as a whole is also eligible for the Hugo Award for Best Series, and I WILL be campaigning for that one.

Do yourself a favor; check out the trailer for the next game, Spectaculars (make your own comic book universe in play), and Dusk City Outlaws (low prep heists in a fantasy metropolis)
