“Marathon Man.”

I think it was my fifth viewing that I realized a character from the beginning shows up briefly in the middle.

“Family Plot” gets little love from the critics, which is a shame.

Funny, scary, and full of twists.

“The Road Not Taken” by Harry Turtledove. Short story.

The aliens have space ships and that’s it. They still use horses, bows and arrows, and spears.

Turns out, space travel is easy and we’ve been doing things the hard way…

No idea. Read it in high school and that’s a while back.

Can’t remember the author or title.

Old short story where humans land on a planet where the advanced species has gone extinct.

The Terrans have no way of translating the language until someone finds a classroom and figures out what they used for the periodic table.

The NFL story makes a lot more sense than the alternative.

Trump et al would love to have a big Luigi movement to point to right now.

It would be a distraction from Epstein and a reason for much more domestic spying.

Are you trying to tell me that the people who make money off of paranoid rich people wouldn’t be pushing the idea of hordes of domestic terrorists coming for them?

Look what 9/11 did for Bush Jr, and then quadruple it.

For All Mankind I liked the first season, but no, it doesn’t get better.

Each season does a different decade, so the leads age up.

It overplays the science fiction card. For example, in the last season they are on Mars. One of the workers is smuggling minerals to Earth for jewelry. None of the CIA/KGB people notices that Martian jewely is being advertised in in the newspapers.

Black Sails. Pirates done better than the Johnny Depp movies.

Penny Dreadful. Witches, werewolves, vampires, immortals, and Eva Green as a psychic.

Landman. Billy Bob Thornton as the site manager for an independent oil company. Has to deal with the cartels who smuggle across his feilds; the crazy idiots who work for him; the maniac who he works for; and his psycho family.

A much shorter list would be all the books/stories I am sure of.

It’s obviously a basic human desire. Porn’s been around since the Stone Age. Might as well ask why do people like games.

His book “War And Anti-War” came out around 1996.

He predicted that the next American war would be against a non-state, maybe the cartels or a terrorist group.

Television was the revolution.

If people hadn’t seen MLK, the Freedom Riders, and other protesters being attacked, they would have been able to ignore it. It was when people saw the Vietnam War on the nightly news that they started reconsidering LBJ’s policies.

[off topic?]

Go the other way.

A hobby can only take you so far. I’d suggest you reassess your job/career.

In a good week you can spend ten or twenty hours on your hobby, whereas you’ll spend 40 hours working.

They probably have this book at your local library; you don’t need to buy it.

“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail.

Good luck

You can defrost quickly with the microwave.

I found this book when I was almost 30 and it changed my life.

“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail.

It’s a series of self tests you can complete in a few hours and a list of the jobs that use those skills.

If you have a job that you don’t hate, you’ve solved a lot of life’s problems.

Hap and Leonard have entered the chat.

Also, free range kids are likely to be reported by ‘concerned’ neighbors.

Pretty soon, ‘Stand By Me’ and ‘The Goonies’ are going to be classified as dangerous propaganda.

Battle of Little Big Horn was in June, 1876.

The first telephone call was made March 10, 1876.

Man Walked on the Moon in 1969. A few weeks after the Stonewall Riots.

Rich parents can afford nannies who force the children to interact with them.

Poor parents use TVs and smart phones to amuse their kids.

Your wisdom is only overshadowed by your generosity.
