Re: What are you watching?

"Reacher" which I'd have given up on, but it has Malcolm Goodwin who saves the whole thing. Otherwise, Alan Ritchson is not quite Tom Cruise, although twice the size. For cozy mysteries, "The Queens of Mystery" is back with a second season. It's all a little twee, but I liked it....

Re: Jeffrey Epstein: Perversion of Justice

It's the old second son problem. You only need one son pass the title to. Poor Andrew, he's not going to be king, he's never going to be king. Now, even if the rest of the royal family died, he wouldn't be king. In the good old days you could put him in the church, or send him off on a crusade, make...

Those weepy "I wish I got vacc'd" videos don't do any good? Say it ain't so. (I have my share of Trumpy relatives, but they are all vaccinated. Well, they say they are anyway.)

I'm always struck by the fact that Star Trek premiered in 1966, a year and a half before 2001: A Space Odyssey. With a fraction of the budget they produced a much more imaginative relevant and interesting bit of science fiction.

Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers like to focus on fatality as in "If you don't die, you win." They ignore all the long term damage, but there has got to be millions of people who have experienced covid and are still waiting to recover. Even a few days on a ventilator can wreck a person.
