They're obsessed with punishment. A lot of them see unwanted pregnancy as a just punishment for recreational sex.

Best I've found, but definitely suffers from lack of network effect

Whatever it is it's probably Matt Mullenweg's fault

No I was making a lighthearted quip about poisoning one's abusive husband

Arsenic helped a lot of people before divorce was common

I mean, you'd also need to take into account cost of living, the rate of un/under employment, hours worked per week, working conditions in general, and a bunch of other stuff.

Funniest part of that was that Terry Goodkind clearly did not know anything about socialist realism

I did read it up until about halfway through the last book, thinking that it would eventually get better while it instead just got worse. Decided that the whole thing had been a complete waste of time besides maybe giving me a greater appreciation for the fact that the real world was less of a slog

Read the first book as a kid, thought it was pretty good, but was put off by all the sex stuff. Started reading the second book when I saw it in a library when I was about 15, and couldn't get through the first chapter because of how sexist it was.

Glad I've blocked that out

Reminds me of a picture book I had as a kid, except instead of Jimmy Carter it was a turtle

 

Spyfall should've been called Time Spies. If they're not too good for an attempted pun they aren't too good for Time Spies

 

Andrew Rakich's The Time Machine: Knows how to capture numinous horror, into history enough that he'd do stuff with the protagonist's Victorianness, would probably have thoughts about the book's politics in general, esp regarding a vegan reading, which would be really interesting to see

 

Watched The Space Museum the other night and it slaps so hard. Love the dynamic between Hartnell's Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki. Love seeing the show go all in on anti-colonialism. Some of the world building stuff didn't make sense (Xerons had a bit of "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" energy) but I just had a great time watching it.

 

To reference another work of surreal social horror, I'm going to say it was that Ruby is actually a giant cockroach
