I work at a high school (in a library, actually) in California, and we've had student walkouts for much less. Are the angry students doing any major protesting that you've seen? Or are the schools cracking down so hard already and they don't want to risk it, or a high enough percentage of kids are assholes so they mock kids who care and it keeps those kids from protesting? I'm sure there's a lot happening that we don't hear about, so I'm curious what it's like for Gen Z who overall doesn't seem to stand for bigotry in general.

YMMV. I liked it!

Yeah kinda. You can see her hands in his crotch, although they seem to be over his pants instead of inside then, and he's very handsy with her chichis. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/lauren-boebert-caught-on-cctv-seeming-getting-extremely-handsy-with-man-at-beetlejuice-performance-she-was-booted-from/

Unrelated, but your desk is beautiful!

My desperate hope to someday meet Australian pirates has been horribly crushed.

I heard it was really going around again, so I got my booster a few weeks ago right before school started back up (I work in a high school library). I wanted to wait for the booster with the new strain, but figured I was better off just getting it. I hope I made the right decision. 🙏 I really don't want to get covid again. My energy levels afterwards were crap for weeks.

I thought it sounded more like "Yeah narr"

You have to be joking. No one could possibly spin this as legit. From the article:

Tuberville began his blockade in April in protest of a Pentagon abortion policy enacted late last year. The policy, which covers travel expenses for abortion care, hit the six-month mark earlier this week.

Oh that's good.

Thank you!! I had never seen that!

It was higher in Paradise for sure. They stopped reporting more bodies found after the initial count. I'm friends with a couple of locals that worked on the cleanup crews, and they personally had to stop and call the owners of multiple houses about bodies, and they had no idea who would've been there. Probably transients or anyone looking for shelter.

I watch it on Hulu, in case you have that. The whole show is a joke about corporate America and how companies will do anything for a profit. It's so good. There are only 2 seasons.

This reminds me so much of Better Off Ted.

Russia literally invaded a democratic neighboring country. There was a lot of empathy for drafted Russian soldiers until their calls home were leaked and people started finding mass graves full of Ukrainian citizens. I'm not really sure what you're expecting here?

A different perspective of fighting back when a country invades you and murders, rapes, and pillages your people?

Please illuminate us on this super meta perspective.

You just convinced me that I do NOT want to watch it. I can't handle that type of stuff, but I love sci-fi, so I was considering it. Thank you!!!

Also in Northern California, not nearly as gorgeous of a view, but I was helping a friend and her husband pull honey because they had just started beekeeping, and started with a lot of hives (due to someone retiring).

Anyway, I was there for hours with them in a large garage in the foothills in the middle of the woods, and I really needed to go to the bathroom. It was a similar setup to OP's picture, except 3 of the sides were up. No roof, no door at all, and it was like 105 degrees out.

At first I was nervous, but no one was going to look and I was facing the woods, so... weird experience, but it was actually kinda pleasant? It was just me, the trees, some birds, and the bugs! I've gone on week-long canoe trips where we had to dig a poop hole with our own trowel, but the mix of civilized (kindof an outhouse??) and not civilized at all was MUCH weirder.

I'm so sad he died. I want to see more of Alan Rickman forever.

That was a great show. I miss goofy (occasionally VERY serious) scifi.

Edited to add: Sliders and Quantum Leap were my favorites. Although it came later, I felt like Eureka had a very similar feeling in tone.
