Reservation Dogs - Surprisingly good. 99% Tomatometer - 91% Avg. Audience Score

Following the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob and save in order to get to the exotic, mysterious and faraway land of California. To succeed, they will have to save enough money, outmaneuver the methheads at the junkyard on the edge of town and survive a turf war against a much tougher rival gang. This first-of-its-kind creative team tells a story that resonates with them and their lived experiences -- and invites audiences into a surprisingly familiar and funny world.

We watch an episode of Northern Exposure on Amazon Prime every night (unless the Dodger game runs late). When it first ran, the show was groundbreaking by touching subjects that usually weren't on network TV, and it always ended with a good feeling.
These days, it is a refreshing change from the current programming, and it provides these 79- and 78-year-olds with a look back to an earlier, simpler time.

Writer's Workshop [Public] / Re: I can see this happening

I mean, the government is scary. Here in the US we have the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which can essentially be abused to spy on everyone without a warrant. It seems the wording is so vague that if you so much as send an email to or browse a website outside of the country, it may be grounds for being monitored.

I wonder when they have an actual person take a look at some flagged communications. I've definitely asked someone online how I should "kill a kid" but made sure to include "in my book."

To the FBI agent scrolling through my history, you deserve it.

I'm still wearing a mask indoors in public places--often the only one doing so. But it was nice not to get a cold this winter, and sticking out like a sore thumb is not new for me.

I still do the same. I've not had any sort of cold or flu since Jan 2020.

I'm usually not the only one, but there's very few here still wearing masks. But enough that you always see someone.

So, done with Bitten, dropped GoT for a bit. Now I'm watching The Expanse, on season two.

Things would be better if watching streaming or recorded stuff didn't put me to sleep. :D

Something needs to be done. Covid has basically killed my brain. I have found nothing that could even begin to help, and my memory is getting worse, not better. I also type much worse, it's slowed me down so much because going fast makes for 80% typos. And that's even if I can remember what the heck I'm trying to type.
