Are you overwhelmed by Israel, Trump, starvation, drones, hypersonic monstrosities, doubling our 'defense' budget, reducing people to things, bloodlust? Did I mention ISRAEL?

I turn to sci fi when the world looks/ feels super bleak. Mickey7 is a 2022 science fiction novel by Edward Ashton with a sequel, Antimatter Blues, and a film adaptation, Mickey 17,

Meet Joe Black (1998) is basically a 2 1/2 hr anecdote, where an angelic Brad Pitt, the angel of death, comes and saves the day by impersonating an IRS agent investigating and exposing the vile young suitor Drew, as Brad takes fiancee Allison's father (Anthony Hopkins) to heaven. Brad quotes money-grubbing Drew: You can't avoid 'death and taxes'.

Yes, Death gets us all in the end, smokers and nonsmokers,

As we come to the end of the reign of Trudeau Jr, here's a nostalgic take on his ascendancy to the Canadian throne.

Sadly, his time in office was mostly disappointing, his antics worthy of Monty Pyton's Ministry of Silly Walks, but what will follow could make us long for Justin's kindergarten antics.

Justin Trudeau: Start of a Canadian legend

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts. No!

Well then, don your bicycle helmet. No! Drivers actually pay less attention to you if they see a helmet, figuring they're not likely to kill a smarty-pants, and are less careful around you (2x as likely to pass close). A toque or baseball cap in case of rain is more practical.

There's a growing sense of a tidal wave against Israel. The only safety for Jews is in solidarity with Palestine.

I was just gifted an AI podcasts by ME, but it works only from my academia.edu accounts. 

Episode 1 was based on my saga Justin and the Beanstalk. You'll have to take my word: AI is like pablum. It makes me want to go back to the original. Thank you for being boring, AI!

Episode 2 is based on my review of Cliodynamics: A science of societal collapse and end times from my other academia.edu account. Again, the original has lots more colour.

Thanks anyway, AI. I'll stick to my cranium.
