Being nihilistic about the courts and legal institutions helps authoritarians. They want you to lose faith in the rule of law and stop holding power to account. As much as you can, don’t let them.

Is Silo worth watching if you’ve already read the books? (I don’t mind knowing the general plot as long as the show adds something more to the experience.)

Going to a conference in your home city is great because you don’t have to travel! But it’s also terrible because now you have to do conference stuff, normal work stuff, and normal life stuff all at the same time

Pasadena issued a tap water warning for evacuation areas. Good time to remind everyone to stock up on emergency bottled water. You need roughly 1 gallon per person per day for at least 3 days (more if you have the storage space).

If you’re looking for info on the LA fires (e.g., evacuation warnings), I recommend Watch Duty.
It’s a “non-partisan, non-profit, and non-government organization focused on disseminating public safety information in real-time from verified sources.”

The fastest way to get emergency information on the LA fires is still Twitter/X — but the official accounts are now unverified. Perhaps we should have figured out public communications infrastructure instead of relying solely on corporate platforms…

I’m also a fan of the book, but I was unsure about how they were going to adapt the genre-breaking, meta aspects of the novel. The show definitely works though, visually and narratively, and is essentially a totally new story with some similar themes. Tbh I like the show even better than the book.

Big fan of Interior Chinatown on Hulu. If you like mindbending mystery shows, with comedy and heart, and meaningful themes around identity and what it means to play a part in society, you’ll like this. And it’s a 10-ep limited series. Perfect holiday binge!
