trying to get the hell out of Omelas
Will be interesting to see how this plays out alongside HR 6028, which would make the Librarian of Congress a Congressional appointment and the Register of Copyrights a presidential appointment.

Streets of Laredo is even more devastating than Lonesome Dove, imo.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. Maybe this shit flew in the 90s and they could pull the wool over most people’s eyes, but the political theater feels so painfully obvious. Especially when they run the exact same scheme over and over again.

If they do get UC for all of the above, what’s the fastest the government could open up again?

What’s the fastest that this could happen if UC is invoked and the House considers the 72 hours to start once the text drops?

Usually I say read and then watch, but I’m of the opposing view with Murderbot. The stories are great, but the show does a better job of moving up character dev of the humans which in the stories gets peppered in over time. Also, I feel being able to put faces to them makes the reading easier.

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I actually enjoy the short episode format. I think it works with the tone of the show, with episodes often ending on humorous cliffhangers.
