He was probably thinking of the spaghetti wall his family had growing up. You see, they'd made a lot of spaghetti and they'd fling it at the wall to see if it sticks. If it did they knew that the pasta was :discourse: and left it sticking to the wall. After it was completely covered they'd paint over and start again. So yeah he was probably thinking about how much he ate spaghetti growing up and really wanted to get his hands on some and totally forgot where he was and what he was doing and totally snubbed the guy on accident

Honestly, I don't know anything about the Handmaid's Tale other then it exists and I would have had no idea what they were protesting specifically. I still have enough brain cells left to figure out context clues though, unlike most people who still identify publicly as republicans. I'm also wildly out of touch with cultural trends though.

I mean I read the book so I already knew that Starship Troopers was a satirical work, but there's plenty of people who looked at Starship Troopers and thought that it was a future that humans should strive towards.

Sometimes I think things would be a lot better if all Americans had to earn their citizenship rather than it being given to them at birth.

It sure as hell would solve the immigration issue.

Addition: got another Democratic Primary upset in Massachusetts. 10-term Mike Capuano got knocked out by Ayanna Pressley. He was never challenged before, the district is majority-minority, and that's that. There's no Republican candidate, so she's the Congresswoman.

Heinlein has such massive range as an author that I cannot sign on with people who point to Starship Troopers and claim that he was 100% sincere about those being his actual beliefs

Heinlein had a pretty far ranging and somewhat contradictory set of beliefs and ideas. I enjoy most of his work (and find some absolutely appalling) so I just roll with it.




So the Woodward book looks like another fun bundle of juicy details on the other hand I remember Woodward being a neoconservative warmonger over the last 20 years or so so gently caress that old shithead.
