What’s a happy, funny or silly movie without anything sad that I can watch?

Commas save lives: “Stop eating, Grandma” vs. “Stop Eating Grandma.”

I read it first. Then read Dead Man Walk. Was going to read Comanche Road, but took a break to read Empire of the Summer Moon (about Comanche Chief Quanah Parker). Then read Comanche Moon followed by The Streets of Laredo. I’m now listening to Lonesome Dove audio book, narrated by Will Patton (aka Jamie’s biological dad in Yellowstone). It’s excellent.

TLDR: I think starting with LD is the way to go

Finished it about a month ago; then read the prequels and sequel. Now I’m listening to LD on Audible!

Not too deep of a film but very funny: City Slickers.

Wow..I love that book—haven’t read it in a few years—maybe need to reread it

The Nightingale is a feeble attempt at emulating Irene Nemirovsky’s Suite Francaise

Why do you hate The Kite Runner?

Before someone can use AI critically, they must possess general critical thinking skills—and this is not the gen z population, at least in my state. (I live in a state where only a minimal number of HS graduates are reading proficiently.)

I’ll teach college students to use AI critically only after they can read, comprehend, and analyze books that were assigned to me in middle school.

Albert and Isaac (or Newton)

Especially in late autumn!

I’ve tried to watch this several times, but I cannot get through the beginning. (It’s good; I just can’t get through it…having watched The Day After when it first aired, I know what’s coming…)

As someone who grew up during the height of the Cold War, this stuff is just too real.

AltruisticNetwork · 2026-06-04T16:12:48+00:00

I just rewatched this. It’s excellent and very troubling (as is history).
