  • The article is from May 19, 2022. I can find very little information about the vote of this Wednesday. While I don’t doubt its authenticity, I find it unlikely that it would pass. Last time they tried, doing it much more loudly and going as far as spreading disinformation campaigns on TV and in social media, they still completely failed at having the legislation passed. To me it looks like someone is finishing their mandate, so they are scrambling to show that they are doing the work they have been paid to do (by lobbist, obviously not by the people).

    I hope I will not be proven wrong.





  • “Before you go jumping to conclusions about her ineptitude, Brianna Janel was actually following the rules laid out by Tesla.”

    From the article. And from her own video she confirmed she was never in any threat for her health or her life. She just followed the VERY dumb instructions given her for fear it would damage her car… The only idiots here are the engineer at Tesla, that gives instructions that makes no practical sense (the manual opening of the door could damage the car… Seriously? How could you make a door that could be damaged of opened manually, especially if you do not expect the automatic mode of operation to be fully functional 100% of the time?)









  • Great write up on an great book!

    The whole series of Death books are amazing. Death is a great character, mostly alien but at the same time very human, and I absolutely love Susan as his counterpart in later books of the series.

    I think the whole saga is a crescendo that starts great with Mort, takes it a notch up with Soul Music and finishes wonderfully with The Thief of Time (one of my favorites in the Discworld).

    They are all a must read, but if someone is scared about tackling 5 books in one go (or if they do not know where to start with the Discworld in general) I absolutely suggest them to go for Mort as a one-off experience!
