Plenty of post-apocalyptic and dystopian literature one could choose from. Like, say, the news.

We were young, uninformed, and we wanted to have an awesome party and invite all our friends.

Book thread. What are you all reading?

Unrelated to either JF or NK. I’m just finishing a novel by notable badass Sylvia Townsend Warner (The Flint Anchor), and wanted to recommend it - or anything else she wrote - to Jezzies.

I recently had a 12 hour flight and my neighbors got up about twice an hour - each. As the aisle seat person, I got no sleep at all.

Completely anecdotal: my kids are easy going and it is perfectly fun to fly with them.

Now I’m wondering if Ellie was going for more of a haiku vibe.

But won’t you have too little space for the poor budgies? 

We were just watching some track event, and my inlaws kept saying how the women runners were “absolute men.” Like 50 times, with my kids in the room. I said “No, they’re not, and they don’t even vaguely look like men.” Welp, that didn’t work.

I always thought that the ‘man-’ prefix was derogatory, actually.

Ellie, can you finish the Dr Seuss rhyme? Something like:

How is northern Europe this time of year?

And wearing an undershirt in summer is insanity.

Unless your shoes are sandals, in which case: don’t.

To all the zucchini-bashers:

It’s ok that you’re wrong about mustard, you clearly weren’t raised well. The right ranking is:

Cersei, are you drinking yet another Mountain Dew?

Shut up, Rose.

Wait, who is this Mace Windu guy? Was he in one of the Star Wars movies?

So you’re saying Luke’s accent is a Rim job?
