Dogs attack people on order of magnitude more often than cats and dogs do way more damage when they do. Cats are probably just not as high a priority. Both should definitely be chipped, though.

Is it ironic if the audience knows it’s not but the people they’re talking about don’t know?

Apparently I don’t watch movies nearly enough, but here’s some ones a little off the beaten path:

Return to Seoul is about an adopted Korean woman finding her biological family. Sorta. My partner was part of the wave of Korean adoptions to the US that happened in the 80s (an interesting topic all on its own, but not the focus of the film) so the film gave us some good conversations.

Carol Doda Topless at the Condor was fascinating in a way I didn’t expect. The combination of a view into the club scene for the time period, the explanations of the process and consequences for the type of breast augmentation she used, her encounters with the law, aging as a sex worker, it all just combined in a way that was enjoyable.

Listen to the monkey.

Can we get a Hotshots 3 to go along with it?

De jure so does war but de facto does not.

Foiled again!

GoT invented it. There’s no such thing as Edipus or Electra. And definitely nothing in the years between. /s obv

1 Samuel 15:3

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Deuteronomy 20:16-17

But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:

But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee:

It can grow well in hardiness zones 2-11. There’s only 13 of those. Odds are in my favor. Maybe they just mean it doesn’t keep well in the fridge or something. Or they’ve got a black thumb.

I couldn’t get rid of huge bushes of it last time it got into the garden. It survived drought, insects weren’t interested in it, and it grew back after being cut down. How much more stable could it be?

It was raining, but those were cats and dogs.

Too many men.

As barely a teen back then, Breath of Fire 2’s stuck with me because of the scantily clad shamans on page 32.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but compared to the book it cut down on the science and engineering and amped up the emotion, humor, and action. But that fits the medium. There were a lot of things skipped over or not done in as much detail, like why the science officers were together in violation of protocol. I think the astrophoge drive looked nifty, but they explained the whole thing in under 30 seconds.

As somebody that uses valkey, I’m happy there’s drama.

Me, too.

I liked it. Went in thinking it was a martial arts movie.

The people over at feddit.uk/c/nominativedeterminism might like this, too.

And lungs.
