Nvidia shields with an alternate home screen have been a good solution for me? TV isn’t connected to the network directly, just to the shield.

I’ve got RetroArch, Plex, Spotify on each of them - that sort of stuff.

Yeah that seems pretty on point (espresso maker).

Dianne Mott Davidson’s books.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved them as a kid, and it was a nice way to transition to “adult” books but not really my speed anymore and I imagine if I went back I’d think they were “bad.”

I specifically remember liking Rainbow Six around the same time and I liked his books until he started tag teaming with other authors which was probably around 2000?

Based on that I imagine his books from 1986-2000 are “similar” enough.

I recall liking it, but I read it in like the 5th grade so my standards were low (before that I’d been reading my mom’s terrible ‘caterer turned detective’ novels).

I enjoyed Clancy for a long time after that but at this point I aim more towards militaristic speculative fiction.

Doesn’t make it okay. Frankly any news organization peddling that shit without an obvious disclaimer should be considered suspect.

Really not gonna point out that tank photo is AI generated? Makes me doubt the source…

Stop him? But he isn’t finished yet…?

The West Wing was great - I’d take a President Bartlett over our present options any day.

Wow 50k to 1.3k? Solid KDR.

Try Harder.

Not everyone has the capacity to make it through college.

The sheer quantity of stupid people that exist is staggering.

And really depressing.

Because I want to be like ‘who gives a shit what those frothing retards perceive as scary’ but… There are just so many.

And they are so easy to steer with fear.

Maybe that’s the trick?

Try something like “Coal causes abortions and makes white baby Jesus cry!” with a dash of ‘Muslim folks can’t use Nuclear power!’
