    664 deaths due to covid in the last year?! Jeez.

    I happened to pop in to the pharmacy for something, and if it wasn’t for a poster advising a new round of free boosters was available I wouldn’t have known or gotten one.

    Gov. Could do a bit better with awareness and promotion.

      I used to think that Soylent Green or Children of Men were probably the most realistic sci fis, but now we’ve got governments ignoring a disease that gives people brain damage, I think we’re moving closer to Idiocracy.

          I haven’t seen Equilibrium. Is it any good? It sort of sounds like 1984 but with Prozac and a happier ending.

            That’s pretty much it. I really like it. It’s got some very cool gun, sword, and gun/sword fights.

            Watch it, if you enjoy it watch it again, if not complain on the internet.
