If you like this type of science fiction, could I interest you in The Space Merchants and Gladiator At Law by Frederik Pohl and CM Kornbluth? More prescient and much more biting, in my opinion. Also much earlier, having been written in the 1950s.

Will stock up for next time. Thanks for the idea!

That’s an idea. Next time…

Wow, that’s a Dostoyevskyian level story right there.

The first Don Quixote book was so popular it spawned a lot of fake sequels. Cervantes killed off Don Quixote in the second book to preclude any more copycats. That’s what I remember anyhow from the preface of a paperback edition from way back.

Missed me by that much!

Ah, like the Cone of Silence from “Get Smart!”

One of the noblest and saddest characters in one of the most cruel stories ever written.

As I recall it was longaniza, cucumber, and carrots.

Yeah, I should have taken a cross-sectional cut to show what was inside. Next time…

Seasoned vinaigrette.

Any of the 90s horror anthology shows. Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Friday the 13th: The Series heck even X-Files and Buffy. I don’t think we’ve had a decent horror anthology show in recent years. Black Mirror is less horror than just plain meanness sometimes.

My daughter just started school. She’s pretty stoked about it, and so are we.

Just drip for now, but I’m going to try it with French press and Aeropress soon.

Sorry, all gone! (It was yummy!)

It would help if we knew even just a smidgin of what these titles are.

My wife used fried tofu in this case. The tofu brought the texture while the sauce and the other garnishings carried the flavor.

Immortalized! Thank you!

For several years I was using TTRSS, but this year I moved to a Miniflux instance that I host at home. I couple it with an instance of Wallabag for saving articles for later reading. I like the experience of the Miniflux PWA app better than TTRSS.
