The Way of Water: On the Quiet Power of Ursula K. Le Guin’s Activism

I genuinely do not understand why there is not more love for this show. Yes, it's tied to a formula but engaging leads, excellent supporting cast and the setting make it a cut above. Now look, find room in your life for

Uh oh. Fireworks are woke thanks to a fictional witch or a flag or ... I don't know... the color red, maybe? Thanks for your wonderful Wokey Dokey compilation. It gives me great peace for 2026 to know that I will never understand the world view of these loons.

But but but.... sigh. Another struggle of art vs artist

Really poor here, from the BBC. Weak, fearful, hypocritical. I've been an embarrassingly heart-on-sleeve supporter of the Beeb in the past but they are making it so damn hard.

I cannot support this suggestion strongly enough. But hey, if you want Hauer but feel you’re too highbrow for these then find The Legend of the Holy Drinker. Damn, that man was beautiful.
