When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

Speaking as a typist myself, I think that'd be a hard adaptation. The first novel is Chaucer's road to Canterbury in space and the second one very much isn't. Wanna do just the first novel then? It ends on a cliffhanger. Books 1 and 2 are great but so different from each other.

Abundance is good, but it's not winning votes as a public platform. It has longer term effects in that direction and we should make it something electeds are privately obsessed with, but it doesn't belong on the campaign trail. There's no antagonist

Walking out of ANH — Death Star blows up, everyone but Chewie gets a medal, triumph, credits — if you were asked, "what do you think meetings of these Jedi looked like in previous generations?" you would've said "probably pretty shady." But no! "Extremely expensive, extremely visible real estate."

I'm working on a theory. Is country a more restrictive genre than rock? Gotta be, right? And I like plenty of country, old country in particular — and western. And they *are* folk traditions, so technically you can fit anything in there, but....you also have an ethos to match. A narrower ethos.

If Trump has them that intimidated then they need to retire. And MSNBC hosts piled on CNN earlier this year but their code of silence on this is gross. Have some courage and integrity. Is that too much to ask, or are you just too comfortable?
