Anyways, with that brick out of the way, I'm finding myself in need of something a bit now contemporary so I pulled something up that's been sitting in my trp for YEARS. Tregellis' THE COLDEST WAR. I bought this way back when the series was first getting buzz in this thread and have read BITTER SEEDS twice now, but had just never moved forward into the series. Happy to say that I'm one chapter into this and it's very much scratching an itch for me right now.
That Tregillis trilogy is awesome!

It's ultimately going to come down to "voter efficiency" on the day. That being said unless something on the international stage happens to change it up, I think the numbers aren't going to change much. If anything internally was going to change anything it would have been a blowout at the debates which didn't really happen.
I think it's telling that one of my buddies whom I was getting food with was telling me even though he usually votes NDP hes actually voting liberal for once in his life cause Jagmeet can't really unify people. I think his career is done and the NDP are going to have to rebuild.
Singh and Pollievre are both fighting for their political lives at this point. Blanchet too to an extent, if the Bloc loses significant ground Federally. -

Gaiman, he is now suing the one woman he claims broke her NDA....which....bud if you didn't want to still look so guilty, MAYBE suing an accuser for talking is not the best route to go about it? Jeezus that man cannot get out of his own way. What a career crash.
Likely, it's a tactic as warning to other women who have NDAs in place. It's a bad look, but his lawyer will likely frame it as 'there was a consensual relationship that ended badly and in order to resolve things the parties agreed to money and an NDA and now the opportunistic other side is reneging and looking for more and yadda yadda yadda my lawyer is bigger than yours'. Not like his rep can suffer much worse short of criminal charges. -

Some of them are door stoppers, yet the writing isn't usually as dense as Malazan for example.
I'd say generally the TDT books are as long as they need to be. Some allowance for King to be King is appropriate, but i can't point at any book and seriously say it would have benefitted from a serious edit.
The 'bigger' issue with DT is the wider arc that covers almost everything else King wrote between starting and ending that series, a small number of which are sort of important, most of which are barely easter eggs. The series reads just fine on its own tho, the rest is bonus for fans who were with him for the long haul.

Got some definitely to check out - Severance, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Silo... I'm also interested in Slow Horses, Mythic Quest and Roar.
Any other "must watch" shows while I have it?
Murderbot's being released in May...
Pachinko, Little America, and The Essex Serpent were pretty good, though I wouldn't put them among my personal all-time favorites. The Essex Serpent is sort of horror fantasy, with good performances by Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes, among others.
I forgot about Murderbot - I've not read the books but it looks good! I'll check out the other shows too.
Assuming pos buzz i'll be getting appleTV for long enough to watch Murderbot once the season is available.
