Tagesanzeiger review of Minor Detail;

"... the book's first-person narrative and empathetic tone mask a basic problem in the text: all Israeli soldiers are portrayed as anonymous rapists and killers, while Palestinians are victims of trigger-happy occupiers. Violence against Israeli civilians is not mentioned, perhaps because it is considered a legitimate means in the struggle for liberation against the occupiers."

Review: Skilhunt H150 - my favorite small headlamp

The Skilhunt H150 is a small headlamp with great color quality, magnetic charging, and the ability to use both 14500 Li-ion and AA batteries. It sets a new standard in its size class.

THE CROSSING GUARD

Jack Nicholson holds the screen well enough in Sean Penn's debut as a writer director.
It's a piece of depression porn that contains all the self indulgent beats and hokey dialogue you might expect from a first timer (so much introspection!).

SUSHI GIRL

Uneven but entertainingly lurid crime movie that fulfills the Luke Skywalker/Candyman team up you spent years wishing for.
Decent performances cover up a derivative story. Gratuitous gore and nudity also cover up most of its flaws.
Nothing special but you never feel your time is wasted.
Watch even if you're allergic to seafood.

HUBIE HALLOWEEN

Had lowered expectations and they were met. Wasn't expecting much. Didn't get much.
Typical Sandler with the added bonus of cameos from the ASEU (Adam Sandler extended Universe).
Sandler must have a lot of friends that owe him favors or need money.
This is what we get for not nominating him for Uncut Gems

Nice response by to the self-entitled techbros who think they should be given slack for bad products.

We take reviewing coffee gear at CoffeeGeek very seriously. We want to make sure you have the best possible advice - honest, real, and relevant to the product you might be shopping for.

So I started off this post with an apology.

SEVEN POUNDS

An Eye-rollingly obvious piece of Oscar-bation with Will Smith, stretching for some awards. Any awards. Whenever I think of Jellyfish now...I laugh.
I wasn't even in school when I watched this though I feel I should get some extra credit.

With all of these new food items coming out that you find at the grocery store, I'm seriously thinking about using my https://SeerOfSouls.com to do reviews of these new items that we find at the grocery store.

Today alone we found 10 - 12 new items that we could review.

Would anyone here find that stuff enjoyable?

I'm exhausted by the incessant demands to rate every product I buy online, every ride I book, and every meal I order. It's time for work-to-rule. My demand is a credit of 50¢ for each rating and $5 for each text review over 20 words.

If companies don't think my feedback is worth that very-modest sum, then it's not worth harassing me for with notifications and emails

WAYNE'S 2024 BOOKS: BOOK 10

The Bezzle
by Cory Doctorow

So, if you've read my other book reviews this year, you'll be familiar with the name Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic). If not, become familiar! His work (published in books, delivered by RSS feed or Xitter, or appearing on various websites) is always entertaining and informative.

The infotaining nature of his writing is clearly evident in his latest book: The Bezzle. I backed the Kickstarter that successfully funded an audiobook version, although audiobooks aren't my thing and I read it in eBook form on my Pixel 6a. It's the second Martin Hench book, a period piece starting in the dotcom boom era, years before the first Hench book, Red Team Blues. Here we see a less established Martin (sans tour bus) stepping unwittingly into the attention of a sleazy robber baron. Events spiral wildly away from a burger-supply Ponzi scheme (no, really) as the book progresses.

The book structure is a little odd; it felt like the pelt of two-and-a-half Last Week Tonight With John Oliver episodes stitched onto the bones of a modern-day Grisham novel. Here the blend of entertaining and informative comes to bear; you know you're being educated as you read, but it's enjoyable, so it doesn't feel like a lecture. There's lessons about MLM investment traps, the hideous state of the California prison-for-profit system, unfair music royalty practises, and more.

The Bezzle was a quick and excellent read, and I'll be delving more into Doctorow's back catalogue as the year progesses, thanks to a tasty Humble Bundle deal that's still active as I write.

Nothing is perfect but this sequel is almost there. : Part Two is full of action, story and visually stunning. This one is anything but boring.
