If Hamlet were performed by the Muppets, I posit Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker would be Rosencrantz and Guildenstern... Or would it be Guildenstern and Rosencrantz?

Like CATS? Like SPACE? Like MECHS? Like SHOOTING STUFF. Like QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ETHICS OF CONSENT IN UPLIFTING ANIMALS AND ALSO THE HEALING OF TRAUMA THROUGH KINDNESS Then, my friend, put the 6TH OF OCTOBER in your diary. Audio and EBOOK release of BEASTS OF THE WILD BLACK. (Tell everyone.)

A cat is looking out of a human space suit at you. That's what we call in the trade, a visual metaphor. Now comes the blurb.

Years ago, Deep Strike cadet Min Law was left behind during what was meant to be a routine operation. Though he survived, the resulting trauma almost ended his career. Now, as captain of the DST Thunberg, he is preparing to take his crew on a similar journey to a seemingly quiet world following a garbled distress signal. The mission is simple on paper: find the source of the call, offer aid, return home.

But nothing is simple in the Wild Black at the edges of the unexplored universe. As the crew of the Thunberg searches for the signal’s source, they find strange ships and corpses that shouldn’t be there. The mysteries begin to pile up. What happened out here? And why does some of the technology look horribly familiar?

Fortunately, Min’s team of animal counterparts is prepared for anything. The bear, Sitka Pete, is eight hundred pounds of loyal muscle. The rooks are quick and coordinated, perfect for reconnaissance. And the cats, Oz and Hinder, well, they’re just cats. But together they’re more than up for whatever the Wild Black can throw at them—even if this region isn’t quite so unexplored after all . . .

OK, so, if you brought a water bottle to an interview that'd be okay, right? Do they not drink coffee at these work places? What if the interviewer offers a coffee, is that a test? If a human needs refreshment to operate, is that the disqualifier? If no coffee, I get the job, right?

Picked up this copy of the Hobbit and while I already have, like, three copies of the book, this one is too pretty not to get.

A copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit". The cover is flat black with glossy black mist/clouds over gold tipped mountain ranges. The are are two giant eagles in gold as well.

J.R.R. Tolkien, title page of "The Hobbit". There's a hand drawn image of Smaug taken from the fictional map drawing.

A chapter illustration of the the three trolls, early in the book. It is in black and white and depicts trolls amidst trees in the darkness, behind a clearing that is brightly lit by a campfire. Smoke plumes into the air in artistically rendered whisps, almost like waves.

Started playing "LIBERATED" (2020) an accurate depiction of today's AI extreme surveillance. Well done and I'm sure the writers are feeling vindicated at the messaging

Can we talk about how good DREDD is? I'm like a walking billboard for that movie. Never takes the helmet off, like the character, and it's not big stakes, just another day in the life of a judge.

Carnevale, the Italian festival on the Tuesday before lent (sometimes referred to as "Fat Tuesday") comes from the words "Carne" (meat) and the latin "Vale" (hail and farewell) roughly translating to "Farewell to Meat" as one abstains from meat during much of the lent season.
