Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

As with most, if not all, high profile murders, thankful that the murderer appears to not be a brown or black person.

Meanwhile watching South Korea and France in political upheaval is something.

I might need another fallback plan.

Well, you have EU citizenship and speak Italian, right? Sounds like you’re set!

Listen, France could be on the brink of another revolution and their politics would still be better than Italy's.

Our wings are not tired.

True that. Having just been in beautiful Vienna for a week, a text from one of us (can’t remember her Buffista name!) reminding me of Austria’s politics was well-served. OTOH, as a colleague pointed out today, our “left wing” politicians would be considered center right in many places in the EU.

Portugal, Ireland, and NZ are all (aspirational) possibilities for me at this point.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Wasn’t United Health the company that put an AI approval bot in place that rejected 80% of legitimate claims? I don’t think killing people is a good idea, but if someone had to interrupt the path of a bullet, there were worse options.

I haven’t had cable in 19 years, but today when my TiVo wasn’t getting a signal to my tv, I found out I have access to 24 hour news channels on my smart tv from the major networks. So with the assassination and the ouster of world leaders and cabinet nominee nonsense and Supreme Court transgender case, I kept it on all day. Literally from 9am until now almost nonstop. And there has been basically no movement in any of these stories. How do people do this day after day?

I've really been pushing the online surveys this week to fund a third Adirondack chair for my patio. Among the ones I completed were a celebrity PR survey that featured both Jonathan Bailey and James Franco (my answers, shall we say, varied WIDELY), and a telecommunications survey where AT&T was the focus. I believe they're going to have to throw out my answers to all of the above to avoid skewing the results.
