This is just so perfect. "We have a religious exemption." "Oh, you aren't Catholic?" "Of course we're Catholic!" "Then no, you don't have a religious exemption because we kind of know how that religion works"

I think the real question is is Grady her protegé or a bystander

I think she travels for the destination/experience. She's just so resourceful; she can make opportunity out of anything

It's also really unfortunate that the news story calls this "mislabeling," which makes it sound like the kind of error a middle schooler might make, writing the wrong name on the borders of a different country. Not that they invented blobs

Surely my maternal grandmother had a job at one point, like when the boys were at war. She was in her twenties. But all I know about her life during that time is that she got love letters from her future husband regularly

I suppose also drafted soldier where I could be a grunt or in military intelligence

Oh I remembered! Look who's coming! L M N O P! I'm not confident in "Still more! W, X Y Z!" But if so I can do a lot of the back half of the book and run up my numbers. Skit skat skoodle doot flip flop flee. Everybody running to the coconut tree.

Much like dino people like Jurassic Park. Perhaps the secret ingredient is Michael Crichton

My dad worked in a hospital in an admin role when ER premiered and they LOVED it

The only exception I can think of to this is space nerds. I'm sure there are some space nerds that don't like spaceship fiction but most of them really really do

Doing social media marketing by reposting bad reviews of your product

What ever happened to good old fondue

I tried to explain this to my sister but she might actually be just barely too much younger than me to remember a children's media landscape in which conventional warfare was normal topically and thematically

The prequels coming to be in that weird geopolitical space of the 90s when there wasn't a dedicated propaganda enemy of the United States and most people did not think of military service as a good thing will be interesting to rewatch

Yavin feels like an aircraft carrier and there's nothing like that in post-1983 Star Wars because after that the youths are not furious they were asked to bomb Korea and Vietnam when their parents were still being hailed as heroes for having done the exact same actions but against actual bad guys

Well, that and all the rules that teenagers aren't allowed at the movies without chaperones anymore

We think the kid has ADHD and haven't been able to get a diagnosis yet, but I also think the mediascape gen alpha is growing up in means they will kill the movie theater

Also the patterns are going to be very different. I imagine Boomers would start really high and then roughly drop off, with a little bump midlife, but for Gen X, AIDS is really going to tamp down numbers in their 20s and then the "first round of divorces" bump is gonna be YUGE

Delighted by your handle

There IS romance but that's actually fun and great when it's robots
