The thing I love most about a good mystery is you get to read it twice: once not knowing the outcome, and again once you know and can see how the author wove the whole thing together.
It's two different experiences.

I mean yeah. But the basic idea of building a giant solar array in space and sending the electricity down via microwave or something isn't actually that dumb.
The logistics of it are though.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Huh. It's almost like when institutions stand up to that spineless coward fascist, he loses and folds. I sure wish more institutions would take note of that.

We saw The Warriors on an outdoor screen at Coney Island, along with movie cast members. Half the crowd was in gang costumes. Then Sick of It All played.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
