They are folks just like the rest of us, some are flat out stupid.

I know a couple of Japanese-American people whose grandparents met and married in US concentration camps during WW2. They are fully in on the Trump train, Musk fans, and happy to see “those people” suffer. If you try to point out the hypocrisy, they just roll their eyes at you.

It’s one of the many reasons I find them so fascinating!

I’ve read Fuzzy Nation and it was great too. I’ve enjoyed all of Scalzi’s books. I have a copy of The Complete Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper that I found at a thrift store after I read Fuzzy Nation. I haven’t read it yet, but it is on the ever expanding TBR

I am incredibly jealous you are reading this for the first time. It was my first Scalzi read and I loved it.

I’m currently reading Who’s Dead, Doc? by J. M. Griffin It’s the second book in a trilogy.

It’s a cozy murder mystery about a woman named Jules who runs a rabbit rescue. In the stories, she and her telepathic bunny named Bun solve murders that happen in her small rural town in New Hampshire. I absolutely love it 💚

I really enjoyed the first season and I’m looking forward to the second. This is one show where I will watch the opening credits every single time because it’s so much fun.

That makes sense. I wish we had that here, but I’m happy they at least are required by law in my state to tell people about the surcharge.

Recently, I’ve actually found the opposite to be true in the US. Smaller places prefer cash because they can avoid the CC fees that they get charged for every single swipe. Many places have a sign at the register that they add an additional ~3% to the bill to cover fees which it can be avoided by paying in cash. I’ve started using cash over the last year to avoid the additional charges, especially for takeout.

I once knew a woman who was just under 5 feet and wore women’s size 10 shoes (men’s 8). She called herself a hobbit all the time.

I don’t really get it either. My partner watches it just for the chaos of the kitchen. He typically skips the other parts 🤷‍♀️
