Prüfstand VII , at the moment free on YouTube, is a German movie based on Gravity's Rainbow  by Thomas Pynchon . The movie is German absurdity and doesn't have much to do with the book. Even so, a good bit of fun. I could only watch 20 of the 111 minutes, but perhaps I can get through it in 5 minute chunks throughout my day.

The most revolutionary fiction I can think of White Orchid: juvenile justice system, foster car, prison. Florida Project: marginal experience next to Disney. Star Trek is post currency. 

Resident Alien is just preachy enough without being too preachy to my taste. Everyone is going to have their own lines on that one.

I play this game where you shoot a ball and the goal is to make it bounce around and get extra hits to the blocks that count down until they disappear. That's what capitalism is, you send money in and you hope it does more and comes back with more.  I feel like some of the more fuddy duddy square community looked at the 60's and said, what can we protest? We don't care about human rights, inclusion or justice. We want our own do nothing autocratic republican in office, so we protest. It's like some weird inverted hippy movement. We experience the people we can't understand as lying, or just wrong, so we're going to lie lie lie. Bowling Green Massacre?  That's our feelings about liberals. Liberals don't listen to us a...
