Looking at what's going on in the "real world" today, living in The Village actually looks pretty attractive right about now.

Charles Stross ( @cstross ) set a novel [1] partly in an even more dystopian (in some ways) analogue of The Village, and even that place is starting to look good.

[1] "Season of Skulls". You should read it, along with everything else he's written. https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/buy-my-books/buy-my-books-uk.html , or https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/buy-my-books/buy-my-books-us.html if you want on USAnian versions.

We have weird traditions in #Denmark, especially around Christmas and #NewYears. One is watching the 1963 black/white comedy Dinner for One right up till midnight on New Years eve. It's such a cute story, and a lot of Danes know it by heart. Why we watch it, or how it started, I don't know.

In French but in short:

LG, Samsung and Sony connected TV take 172,800 screenshots a day, whatever you're watching: streaming services, tv, game consoles etc.

Everything is sent to the manufacturer for "analysis".
Of course, they never ask your consent.

An illustration of Rogue from the X-Men comics, depicted from the hips up & leaning forward. Her long hair is brunette but with a large section of it being white, and it’s over a green headband. She is lightly smiling to the viewer, and wears a short brown jacket over her green & yellow unitard. I’ve also drawn her wearing long yellow gloves that are bound near the elbow.

Station Eleven (2021-2022)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Station Eleven is a story of hope, a story of the way people come and go in our lives but their impact remains, it’s a story of experiencing trauma and finding a way to live regardless. It’s beautiful and haunting and, while different from the equally amazing book, the show is a true work of art. It beautifully depicts that survival is insufficient, that we live beyond grief and can still manage to find beauty and, if we’re lucky, reunification.
