ITVX’s perpetual real-time broadcast from the International Space Station is awe-inspiring … until it gets boring. But even though it’s hard to watch for long, it’s a humbling reminder of who we are

Latest read, The Bad Seed (1954) by William March; a psychopathic child becomes a nightmare for the community and her mother.
Superior to the movie, with a bitter, dark ending the 1956 Hollywood movie could not do.
Nominated for the National Book Award. This is good, classic horror.
