You have heard of tides, right? #survivor49. Might as well sleep in a dry river bed.

It is a harvest festival, no Pilgrims or anything. But there is turkey and pie and all the fixings. It is the only time I eat turnip, just to make my mom happy.

Kenneth Branagh once wrote Sir Olivier to ask him for advice in doing Shakespeare. Olivier wrote back ‘Learn your lines, the playwright has done most of the work’

This is a book about family, WWII, the Dutch occupation, coming of age, assisted dying, sexuality, and many other things. An interesting read.

It is really hard to explain just what a mess this movie is. Spliced together with different quality film over a several decades timeline with a poor attempt to tell a nonsensical story. Less than one star ⭐️. Wow it was bad. I would have just been happy watching the concert video.

People are complaining about no flint or food but are we not watching this to see people pushed to the very limits both physically and mentally? Is t this why we have so much crying in the first couple days #survivor #Survivor49

The first book made me want to quit everything and become a tea monk. This sequel was good but not as profound as the first. Robots coming to terms with what they are and what humans are is something I’ve seen and read many times before. Data from ST: TNG, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep etc

One of my favourite souvenirs from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿. Love the whole idea of a biscuit tin (cookie jar) being used for private member’s bills. Genius idea. Honestly something all Westminster parliament democracies should have.

But don’t you want to know about how my nana and I would go out berry picking at the cottage and then she would bake a pie while my cousins and I went swimming in the lake?

A very quirky movie and I can see why it was not everyone’s cup of teas. The story was told from end to beginning, there were random dance numbers, and it made you think.
Normally I hate voice overs but since it was Nick Offerman I’ll allow it.

Starts as a typical serial killer movie then changes the premise several times abandoning the first premise. Takes the cops a long time to get anywhere. ESP? @robertpicardo.bsky.social was great but I’m sure has taken this movie off his resume.

Hits as one of the biggest heart felt TV deaths. Up there with Marshal’s father’s death on HIMYM.
