I joined Paramount Plus so I could watch South Park’s Enter the Panderverse. Totally amazing. Read Robert Zubrin’s piece about space exploration, makes me think twice, maybe inevitable. It does seem like human history goes like that. Venture into the forest; sail across the ocean; fly to another planet? I have been attending a weekly writer’s group in the East end, funny collection, multigenerational. It is a process instantly useful for my PhD writing. Hearing the opinions of strangers. Some unique, some thin skinned, so it goes. One noticeably pissed off man that I find pleasure in South Park’s creativity and blunt beauty. Same dude writes each time about space based fantasies which don’t do much for me but maybe I am going to confound him and point my pen very soon towards Mars. I am jealous of Les Claypool doing music for South Park.
