Meanwhile the President of the US had to declare that he is not, in fact, a Russian agent.
... with the best part being that he waffled and never actually denied it.
Theresa May should just be out without needing a no confidence vote, imo.
he forgot to deny it when asked the question by Fox on Sunday. he issued a statement on monday that actually included a denial. better late than never? *snort*

Movies & TV / Re: What are you watching?
« on: January 14, 2019, 12:45:12 PM »
watched the new watership down series on netflix with my 8 year old. she loved it but was devastated by the ending (i'd forgotten about the epilogue, oops). however, she's already watched it a second time and is excited about reading the book.
edit: i thought it was good too, but had a hard time shaking the hazel/woundwort = rick/negan feeling.

Books / Re: 2018 Reading List?
« on: December 28, 2018, 09:01:53 PM »
finished autonomous. near future SF. cynical (realistic?) take on gene/pharm patents. some fun AI stuff thrown in. overall a fun read.
got bogged down with the unholy consult. silly me, i thought the previous book in the series was unpleasant... had been sticking with this one mostly to close out the series. there's an interesting premise in there, but it's a masterclass in dragging things out. or maybe it isn't, seeing as i've given up on it for the time being. left it in the car one night and decided it wasn't worth going back out it to get it. started kingdom of the blind instead, so will end the year on that.
got several books for christmas (4-6? one's a trilogy bound in a single volume), so am well stocked for a while. may get back to the bakker book at some point. hoping to be more successful with my reading next year. pretty sure there were a few i left off here but even with a few more, this is the shortest list i've had in a while.

One aide said that although Mr. Trump had already seen the resignation letter when he praised Mr. Mattis, the president did not understand just how forceful a rejection of his strategy Mr. Mattis had issued.
