Hate to have to be all biblical today but me (and yes the Pope) denouncing Nathans shameful clown gluttony. Go veggie!

To renounce acquaintance. There are four sorts of cut— (1) The cut direct is to stare an acquaintance in the face and pretend not to know him. (2) The cut indirect, to look another way, and pretend not to see him.

After four days back at work, I'm now ready to abandon my aspirations for 2024. All I ask is good scifi on my streaming service(s). Or scifi that doesn't make me want to stare at a wall instead. The bar is not high, folks. Bring on the space.

Is there a word for when you've binged so much the streaming service gets worried and doesn't automatically start the next episode anymore? Bingergency?
