The sketchy science + scientists in The Cell (2000) are the same universe of sketchy science + scientists as the ones from Face/Off (1997)

For every book purchased from this reading list, we will be sending a book to someone who is incarcerated.

oh hey, it is simply how it is now. I'm awesome, but there are limited jobs I'm well qualified for, and people are super ageist, like even fairly openly so. Not ideal, and it makes me super angry, honestly.
