A History of Israel by Howard Sachar
Rating: 5/5, excellent This 1,000 page tome is a fantastic in-depth history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It took me about four years to read and a couple of months to review, but I think it…

The best book I read this year was Yeshiva Girl by Rachel Mankowitz. It's about an Orthodox Jewish girl whose father is a PDF file who tries to hide in religious observance.
It's intense, but well-written, dramatic, funny, and rings true to the middle school experience.

I've spent most of my 6+ decades living somewhat close to saltwater and even worked in Alaska on fishing boats in my late teens. Point being, I've seen eight zillion Seagulls in my life but up until June of this year I never saw a baby and I saw lots of them! #PismoBeach #Birds #Nature #Photography

Watched Starship Troopers Christmas Eve and I liked the movie more than I liked the book. I gave the book a 2/5 back in 2014, I would give the movie a 4/5.
The movie was really fun, had good special effects, and had a slightly different plot

Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein is a bit of a genre-founder, but politically bizarre. It has the prototype of men in powered space-suits fighting an insectoid enemy (“The Bugs”) which would re…

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.

This time of year is always the hardest emotionally for me. So the games that I'll be re-playing are going to be connected to cycles of Greif, death and life. I may not finish them but I will be lost in the soundtracks and Atmospheres~

Costello in the sun. I am envious - on this chilly day, the warm sun would be lovely. Too bad I am too big to snuggle up beside him on the cabinet!
