I really love classic scifi short stories like those from Ray Bradbury and Isaac Assimov. I also enjoy a lot of the works from Frank Herbert and Robert Heinlein. Recently really enjoyed the three body problem trilogy.

I guess I mostly like scifi with philisophical overtones, hard or soft, serious or silly doesn't matter.

Hmm...an intriguing take. I'll get it loaded up on my server (through LEGAL and OFFICIAL avenues) along with the next generation. So if it freaks me out I can jump ahead to TNG

Saying 'for playing dress up' discredits you, since acting is actually really hard.

Exactly... and on the flip side, standing up for workplace injustice is a sign of insubordination and is punished. Even objectively discussing power dynamics gets a negative/uncomfortable reaction in my experience.

U.S.: Responding to the “gunshot detection” tool ShotSpotter, a Chicago police officer opened fire on an unarmed teenager in c/[email protected]

Hot take, but I actually think this is a good tool. Triangulating gun fire is pretty useful.

I am once again asking for proper police training and discipline. Even if the kid was actually shooting a gun in his backyard, they never should have opened fire.
