This is legitimately terrifying.

Not. Good.

It probably doesn’t contradict what you wrote! Just a feeling. I like the show for Murderbot; Skarsgaard is PERFECT and I liked Gurathin and Dr. Menseh. The last two episodes were great. It’s just… I wanted more Murderbot and less love triangle. Can’t wait for Platform Decay and S2 (ART!!! ART!!!).

How does technology affect human culture and values? What is autonomy? Futurama and HHGTTG are brief episodes in a continuity where the tech/science is secondary. Fantasy is rooted in magic and its affect on individuals’ culture and values.

Somehow the opening song here comes to mind…

Phew! That was close. Good save!

This day in history. 2013. Early Music Day. I'm afraid this could have something to do with children playing recorders so no thanks.

The “fresh by” date on this orange juice instructs me to “enjoy it by [today’s date].”

I will drink it apathetically tomorrow.

The plural of Duncan Idaho is Duncans Idaho just fyi
