I had a really interesting conversation with my conservative, boomer, mom the other day. She talked about being young and working a job and on payday she would cash her check and the first thing she would do is get an avocado and sprout sandwich from a local restaurant down in southern California in the 60s.

And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.

I’m on the 7th and most recent.

The thru line meanders a bit, but not too bad. I wish I had read them chronological instead of in order (5 and 6 are swapped, and 6 is a bit different tone)

I think of them as popcorn books. Very light, quick reads. I actually read the first two on a flight back from Europe. Definitely fun, somewhat predictable/formulaic but it doesn’t take anything away for me.

How we allowed him to lead the HHS is beyond me.

If only we had an ally who needed our oversized military who also had a huge reverse of rare earth elements.

Changing manufacturing sites requires a submission. You have to prove safety and efficacy.

Lay off a bunch of folks at the FDA, then announce tariffs? WTF? If you want pharma’s to onshore manufacturing, you need to provide them quicker review. So much stupidity.

First thing that came to my mind when I saw the question ‘What is his life like?’

He dated Grace Jones

Just in time for the child.labor.

The sun wasn’t alive in Sunshine. People just be crazy.

The World at the End of Time does have a plasma based intelligence though

Absolutely not, I’m a random speculating wildly over here. I thought that was the dude with the sunglasses with his back to the car. Rewatching he has different pants.

That group of guys walking away after the car pulls away were plain clothed officers. At least thats what it looks like to me.

The coopting of Norse culture is sad and fucked up, but I’d bet dollars to donuts home dude in the pagan hoodie is an all out white supremacist.
