Did you see the animated short of Ahsoka as a baby? I can’t remember the title of the variety series it was in.

Ashoka was good enough for me to keep watching. I really liked Andor. Haven’t tried Mandalorian yet.

Still $1.99 on Kindle! Menewood is a great followup. Same Hild, older and wiser :)

Guess we can’t trust the @nytimes.com anymore. At best, bad reporting. At worst, ageism, confirmation bias, [your thought here].

Mariko has committed seppuku, so she can appear only in flashbacks or a prequel. But she was always (novel, script & actor) my favorite character.

You’re in luck! Looks like they’re going to continue Toranaga’s arc in seasons 2 and 3. Hopefully Blackthorne will continue to be part of the story.

Season one ends pretty much where the novel ended, so they’d have to write beyond Clavell’s story. Possible, because Clavell’s estate is involved. I read somewhere that they’re considering adapting another of his novels though. I’d watch either :)

I think season 2 will be another of his novels.

I’m reading Cahokia Jazz by Francis Spufford. Alternative history noir-ish. Alfred Kroeber makes an appearance!

What went wrong with them? My Lindstroms are still fully functional, but I’m curious what might happen if I use them long enough.

I’m in the middle of The Tainted Cup, and immensely enjoying the characters. Worldbuilding is great too. A bit early for an evaluation of the plot, but it’s a mystery, so there’s likely to be a satisfying “aha” somewhere along the way.

Los Nefilim by T. Frohock, a collected trilogy of novellas that I highly recommend, is only 99 cents for Amazon Kindle today. Thought this might be a good place to mention it.

You didn’t ask, but today I heard on NPR that dogs like Bluey because blue is one of the colors they see best. Yellow is the other.

So much of it is designed (I think) to maximize stress and anxiety. I have friends/family who enjoy these feelings because (they say) they are temporary. I don’t enjoy being upset for hours. But I can’t always tell how I’m going to react to a movie or series from trailers and recommendations.

Same here! There’s enough horror in real life, so maybe it doesn’t feel like an escape to me?

I guessed the Ted Drewes part, but not the flavor. On your implied recommendation, I’m going to add TD strawberry to my to-try-soon list :)

So, today I learned that the bogomils’ practices included good public health measures (washing, airing, etc.). I know, I know. That wasn’t where you were leading. But apparently that’s where I was going.
