Getting laid flat by Covid last week, with lingering effects this week, put a line through most of my plans for the holidays.
On the plus side, I picked up my Kobo for the first time in weeks yesterday, and blew straight through “Palon” (by @skaeth) in a single sitting, and this evening I’m roughly 1/4 of the way through “Windward” already.
Recommended.

That really shouldn't have been my last guess, though does reveal an unconscious bias.

Was looking bleak until it suddenly wasn't.
Listening to this podcast about the "brave new world of AI in cinema", I realised I really don't care whether the actors in a movie or show are simulated, as long as I can't tell. I don't feel any parasocial connection to actors generally, so it makes no difference to me if they're not real people.
Others mileage may vary!

That turned out a lot easier than I thought I'd be after a rocky start.

What’s most disturbing about social media is the equal-weighting of personal air-time people give it relative to reputable news and other forms of discourse. The ease of making comments, sometimes horrible, unthought, random comments, or even positive, thoughtful comments, can explode and take off and you’re dragged into a personal assassination by those that disagree. It seems it’s often better to simply say nothing at all.

I took my kids to see Wish today. A *very* Disney movie, with an interesting storybook-esque art style. Final resolution was cheesy. It was okay, but it's no Frozen.
However, one line that stuck with me: "introverts need sanctuary". Yes, yes we do.

Not much else it could be. Thanks, my generally reliable starter word.

That was unexpected.
