What's everyone reading/listening/playing/watching

Reading Surveillance Valley by Yasha Levine. Mostly stuff I know already but I guess most people don't tend to assume tech company alignment with the surveillance state for some reason

Going to see Mark Knopfler live tonight, I am so freaking stoked. Been waiting all year for this.

Watched the Imitation Game last night, great movie on Netflix.

Was amazing, that band sounded better live than on CD.

The Boys on Prime is pretty dope. Way more gory than I was expecting but second season is supposed to be more so.

Binged this on your recommendation . . . it was awesome.

Currently binging some older shows that I wanted to see again. (Stargate SG1, Chuck, The Mentalist and just finished Justified.)

Whale, I can dig that song.

This Bob Dylan song has been stuck in my head for some time. I had no idea it was from 2012. I thought he was dead.

Not reading anything worthwhile.

I did break out my old miniatures and did some things :

Tried my hand at scratch building. Only the turret but was quite happy with how it turned out.

We got some old school Necromunda going. Just some basic 4v4 but she's pretty good at it.

Still original "2nd Edition" Necromunda, I haven't ..... found a copy of the updated one yet.

Went on a Trump trifecta of books.

I started reading John Bolton's book after bootlegging it (Didn't feel comfortable giving that dude royalty money). Got to the point where his major disagreement with Trump is how Bolton wanted active military action in North Korea and Trump got too bored to care about it. I get that Trump is a dullard, but not because he won't start every war Bolton wants him to start.

I then read Woodward's book on Trump. It was fine. It has the same problems of proportion that the last bajillion Woodward books have had.

I finished all that up with Mary Trump's book, and boooy howdy is that a depressing read -- it lays out a structure of emotional and verbal abuse that both led to Donald Trump being who he is and the demise of his older brother, who the Trump family essentially neglected to death. It is both informative and also deeply unpleasant.

Man, that must have been brutal to read all of those back to back.

Re-watched Californication, loved Immigration Nation and Stateless on Neftlix, and now re-watching Handmaids Tale on Hulu. HBO and Frontline recently had a series about fake news,

Also re-listened to It Could Happen Here by Robert Evans, and now listening to his new podcast the Worst Year Ever.

I finally bought a NYT subscription, and will probably donate to NPR shortly.

Dope Sick on Hulu, it is about Purdue when they released Oxycontin.
