I know Time's argument is that Person of the Year isn't about being "the best" it's about being the most influential, hence people like Hitler have won, but man, that cover is doing a *lot* of editorializing in defense of these grifter assholes, and including Musk is straight up offensive.

Foundation season 3 is probably the best so far. Makes me want to reread the books again...
Strangely my least favourite part of the show is the Mycogen stuff, even though Prelude to Foundation was my fav Asimov novel because of the adventures in Trantor

"This tech isn't going away!" "This is inevitable!" "Adapt or get left in the dust!" are all things we're being told by the same people who were telling us you're going to need a blockchain dingus to unlock your front door two years ago.

enjoyed Weapons a lot. I'm not well versed in spooky movies, but I loved this way more than last year's Longlegs. Especially for its mystery and payoff

The best fictional spy is not James Bond or Ethan Hunt or Ilsa Faust or Jason Bourne. It's Catherine Standish she's probably my favourite character in the show (Just finished Season 2)
Quite enjoying Slow Horses (halfway thru Season 2 now). Many characters are abrasive assholes but unlike the other asshole-y show Dept Q, it doesn't assume we will side with them just because they're the "heroes" - the Slow Horses are just assholes
