Dog - you need a new thread called "things you wouldn't put on your CV" or "skills for the apocalypse" - you've got the most efficient way to molotov a car. I know how to jimmy a Yale (purely for altruistic purposes, I should add). Does anyone know how to make moonshine?
Yes?

I'm watching the George Floyd murder trial, and I'm wondering if this series will still get made, because there will probably be less demand than there would have been a year ago for a tv series about a cop who summarily executes people without trial.
They cancled Paw Patrol,I don't think JD stands a chance. Which is a sentence I never expected to say,but here we are.

Don't tell me you forgot how kewl and edgy Argel Tal was. More in the Betrayer,thou.

Gimme a sec, have to look up who that is...

Oh dear.  This book.  The character from whose perspective the book is told from... I have no idea.  I remember nothing about Argel Tal.  I was under the impression it was told from Lorgar's perspective.  I had to check that this is the Word Bearer book I read and it certainly is.  Wow.  Yet again, even more forgettable than I thought.
Well,I don't know what to say to that.
Anyway,I hope that the next BL literary cycle is about Badab War.

Moving on,Im on book 4 of Black Company. Black Company is an awesome series.

The Drop Site Massacre was in The First Heretic?  Wow, that book is even more forgettable than I thought.

They do.. I suspect that's the point where somebody thought hang on, we can spin this out for a lot of books.
Let's start by including Istvaan from about 20 different points of view.
Galaxy in flames/Flight of the Eisenstein did that first,but it felt very complimentary. So ofc that trick gets overused.
However,I felt Fulgrim really abridged Drop Site Massacre,and First Heretic did a better job at it.

After rediscovering a load of (mainly horrible) early 90s anime that I used to be into, I've just started watching Cowboy Bebop, what must be the most recommended-to-me-anime-series of all time, and it is excellent. I should have watched this sooner. Curse my reactionary spirit!

what anime do you recommend? Never really watched any. Not sure if Speed Racer from the 70s counts lol

JoJos Bizarre Adventure.

Doctor Who (1996) It feels amazingly close to the revival series. And also this means I am done with the classic era after 5-6 years.

Finished season 1 of Expanse. It raises so many questions. I hope they get answered.

Back to The Americans. Seriously unappreciated show.

Eraserhead- complete shit.

District 9- it's actually pretty good.
Flip those around and you might have the right of it. :)

Your unbridled edge has been noted.
Appreciate that, ty.

Not trying to be edgy. Eraserhead is a film over which I bonded with a long-term friend and thus has significant meaning for me. District 9...all right, it isn't complete shit, but I do remember being disappointed for reasons that now escape me.

Oh,its deeeeep. Its like a nightmare,maaaaaaaan. Its like,like spiritual and shit,maaaaaaan.
