Stella Star @serinde.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I know that there are a number of excellent books that have been written about How We Got Here, and being of a historian type I should take in that information; but does any of that tell us how to make people stop being shitheads *now*? 020

Stella Star @serinde.bsky.social · 02/09/2026This is pretty much how highways work in John Varley’s “Red Thunder”; and vehicles are returned to driver control when they exit. (Microscopic book element and wholly irrelevant to the plot, I should note.) 010

Stella Star @serinde.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I *really* wanted to like Dunkirk, and went to see it opening week hoping to fall in love, but I was disappointed as heck - it seemed like just such a muddy mess as an overall narrative.
