Wake Up Dead Man is as good as advertised. Kudos to Rian Johnson and everyone.

Love the twists and turns. Love to see if come together at the end.

Love the depiction of religion. Rare to see my faith tradition depicted accurately.

If the job calls for Glenn Close, there is no substitute.

The volunteer fire department is riding around with Santa on the fire truck.

I kinda want them to get a call.

Imagine being a kid ~ your room fills with smoke ~ ladder hits your window ~ in comes Santa to save you.

Sci-fi is dead
“Rather than relying on an implant or a patient's own body fat to add volume to hips or augment breasts, alloClae — which can cost as much as $100,000 per procedure — uses donor fat from a cadaver as a first-of-its-kind body filler.”
Corporate types are clamoring for a new kind of plastic surgery — using dead people's fat
Corporate types are waiting weeks for — and spending big on — alloClae, which cuts out the recovery time typically associated with body enhancements.

At the end of the year, here are a few things I subscribe to, starting with:

Wired Magazine. I've been a subscriber for years, but it's been indispensable in its DOGE coverage and healthy skepticism of the new tech era. bsky.app/profile/wire...

If you're in the Cincinnati area on Saturday December 27th at 1pm come on out to Joseph-Beth Booksellers at the Rookwood Pavilion and pick up a copy of Golden Girls: Love is Golden! I’ll sign it, we’ll laugh, and then later, separately, we’ll eat cheesecake.

Good thinking -> good writing

>>> Even the most talented senior members of the PMC will always get together and go “I wouldn’t get hired today”… in the sense that having rolled a six to get where you are today, you can recognise that if you rolled the dice again, it probably wouldn’t be a six.

“You lifted him up and wear him around your neck like a seal”

You gave him too much power and trust

A cylinder seal was a stamp of authenticity on documents. People wore them around their necks. In this letter king Sargon II reprimands an official for giving a bad guy named Bēl-nūri too much power

ComicsSky, I need some help:

Recently I remembered reading a unique vampire comic, but I don't remember its name and I haven't been able to find it again.

It starred a female publisher or editor who killed people who wrote bad vampire books via a stake through the heart...

I know of only two pieces of child-rearing advice that are true in all cases.

1 Don’t keep them up late thinking they’ll sleep late. Everyone tries it; it never works.

2 Don’t get an Elf on the Shelf.

In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.)
