  1. Tales from the Loop was a nice change to the usual sci-fi that is around. Slower paced and more about the atmosphere than the pewpew and the aesthetic was great as I've liked Stålenhag's art ever since I first bumped into it.

    Zerozerozero I binged in a couple of days, very good series about getting a large shipment of cocaine from Mexico to Italy following all three parties involved, the cartel, the broker and the 'ndrangheta. from the same writer who did gomorrah 

    just started david simon's new series the plot against america. an alt history show about a jewish family in a america where a nazi sympathizing  charles lindbergh becomes the US president.

  2. Even after three years it's still unbelievable that Donald fucking Trump is the president of the USA. I mean what kind of country sees a man like that and thinks 'yeah, he'll be a good head of state'.  Americans have been so brow-beaten with stories of American exceptionalism and overall just-world fallacy that even the thought to even slightly improve things and elect people that are even a little accountable is seemed as some far-way dream or simply impossible. I just don't get how Americans are fine with how the county is run and how the wealth keeps going to fewer and fewer people as millions starve or dies from a lacking healthcare system if not getting shot to pieces in some pointless massacre that happen seemingly every week somewhere. At least the past March month was the first month since 2002 where there wasn't someone shooting up a school. Sure, sounds like a completely fine country to have.

  3. this is exciting, my first pandemic! the new decade is off to a great start, with that old climate change catastrophe looming on the horizon already, what's a pandemic on top of that. I am sure there are more on the way. And then having the most incompetent leaders in charge of major powers, what could go wrong.

    i hadn't heard about the benzo thing in russia until the other day when someone mentioned it. medically induced coma for 8 days. wtf. 

    i'm calling bullshit on them not being able to find treatment in "the west".  benzo withdrawal is well understood and tapering off them is common practice. sudden withdrawal is not recommended i guess that's why they put him in a coma. i mean.. wtf. you're supposed to take 6 months to a year to taper. it's a horrible experience. he's going to be well fucked up for a while because the central nervous system goes fucking haywire. sudden withdrawal can cause psychosis and be fatal.  

     

    keep in mind that jordan is someone who almost died from a little cider...i guess also being on some meat only diet doesn't help.

    bottom line is he's a mess that should clean his room

  5. I will probably suffer through TROS out of a sense of duty. The new trilogy was a big tube of focus-tested slop, pretty and well produced but that's all. The Mandalorian is where Star Wars should be looking at. Small stories, fresh perspectives. But I guess everyone's so dulled to anything more subtle than a hammer.

  6. The Mandalorian is like those western old serials, you know like the kind the OT is based on, and samurai movies. Gunslinger saves a child, because he himself was an orphan once, goes from town to town, does odd jobs/beats bad guys to get by. He probably has a place where he is taking the kid to. Maybe the Mandalorians have some sort of ancient arrangement with the Yoda-species yet to be revealed.
