My father read, and I listened to, The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. So I asked him if he ever ate in Automats, as they played a part in that book.
He remembered liking the chicken salad sandwichs and raspberry limeade.
This then started a discussion with his older neighbor if these were only in New York City, which was the consensus.

I let my father order the pizza, and now I am waiting for my partner to have a piece of the leftovers which I brought home. 🍕
White sauce with potatoes, sausage & spinach.
I'm expecting a wtf is this! 😆
It is wasn't half bad, but not what I would have ordered.

I tried to watch Lioness
And I wasn't successfully. Some really cringe shite.
Episode one was leading up to a battered woman being "saved" by joining the Marines. Oof.

So I skipped into episode two, which was for some reason about a six year old girl needing brain surgery, which would only disfigure her / not save her life. What the actual fuck?
I recognized the name Taylor Sheridan because I hear Trillbilly Workers Party podcast talking about Yellowstone. A show I've never been interested in trying to watch.
Just the worst trash 🗑

This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing.
The anatomical precision of these injuries strongly suggests intentional targeting of people within the distribution sites, rather than accidental or indiscriminate fire.

Dude, I assume it was a dude, why are you changing lanes? 🚗
I'm in your blind spot. That's what the light on your left side mirror means. That there is a car in your blind spot.
Do you not understand what that light means? Do you not understand how to use the technology you have available?

Pro tip: when you sign up for that free week of video streaming select the more expensive plan with no commercials. 📽

Now I want to listen to the book which these were based on. Hoping it doesn't have all the holes in the story that this show has. Which are getting difficult to ignore, in episode six.
