Whoever wrote this took a wild wide swing and caught at least a part of the ball. Wasn’t a home run but they get mad props for the attempt.

The fact none of it was predictable already gives it high marks. This wasn’t a typical espionage tale.

It took me two attempts to get through it. The first time I lost interest after the first episode. Wasn’t that it was particularly bad or boring. It was too convoluted for me at first.

Elizabeth Moss’ British accent was good I think - although being Canadian I don’t have a solid reference by which to judge her. Perhaps a Brit could weigh in here.

But still, every time she said anything that accent was jarring and took me out of the story.

The YouTube algorithm has been feeding us Canadian specific news through “Hook Global.” I haven’t been able to find out much at all about this mysterious group. Google and Bing doesn’t have anything. Even an AI search yields nothing.

I distrust such mysterious sources. On YouTube they’re listed as originating in the U.S. That’s about the extent of it. No owner is named.

I have a pair of bonded 6 month old kittens. Both are medium hair, one tabby one black. They’re about 4 kg each and were spayed 6 days ago. There have been no issues, stitches look good and both are wearing onesies. No coughing or fever. Stools look okay and they’re using their litter boxes as usual.

For the first few days they were pretty subdued and didn’t move around a lot but suddenly now they’re full of energy and want to play.

As it’s now day 6 and we know a certain amount of healing has happened I’d like to allow them to play at least

(Hope this is flaired correctly. Couldn’t find a better one)

Though it aired 4 years ago I just now saw the episode of DOAC where Jimmy was interviewed.

There’s not much comedy in this interview, just raw and honest discussion about happiness and what it takes to get there, plus some intriguing tidbits from his book.

I rarely watch long vids on YouTube but this 1:40 minute show became the exception. So intriguing and compelling. Jimmy talks about how he was (back then) intending to change his standup shows to also include some serious discussion. Which I believe most of us have now started to see on YouTube clips.

I find myself agreeing with almost everything he said. Not because he s
