what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{4.5/5} “But children have a hard time imagining dangers they’ve never met before. They turned, with that curiosity to know. An instinct that betrays children and their elders every day of the universe’s long life. Lot’s salty wife on her road, Pandora’s itchy imagination.” Egg & Spoon by Gregory Maguire, published in 2014 Elena is […]
{4.5/5} “Our specialty is second contact. Still pretty important.

{4.5/5} “In the history of magic it is a general trend that all new rulers wish to use our time-transporting skills to their advantage, but the more seasoned they become, the more they understand the complications, and the less they wish to lean upon it.” The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson and […]

{4.5/5} “He had a greater sense of purpose than he had ever imagined possible. Everything had always come so easily to him — love, approval, musical prowess — that he enjoyed taking on this overwhelming challenge.

Like 4 years ago, I didn’t watch the debate. But I read enough to understand what happened. No one should have to watch a debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. It’s ridiculous to pretend that it’s a reasonable activity. One of them is a debater, and the other is a bull in a china […]
Americans, one man is ruining your country — you need to pull it together to defeat him. Every single sane person needs to be doing everything in their power to stop Donald Trump. You must do everything you can to call out and resist voter suppression, voter intimidation, and other tactics. If your Congress representatives […]
