Wasn’t that show cancelled?

well that was… something

yep… you’re right… I didn’t notice that. The story’s still funny though (⁀ᗢ⁀)

edit: looking at it through Google Street View, the picture in the post was actually taken from the Sean O’Casey bridge XD

I chuckle a bit every time I see that bridge 😁

Hyperion is the first book in a 4-book series: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, The Rise of Endymion.

If I recall correctly, the first two were supposed to be one book, but were split to two because the publisher wanted more money or something to that effect. So finishing the first book leaves you effectively hanging with a lot of unresolved threads.

By itself, Hyperion seems like a collection of loosely related stories in the same universe. But the rest of the books in the series answer a lot (if not all, read it a long time ago) of the question and threads in the first book.

I can’t go into much detail without [mildly] spoiling the series, so I’ll just say this: the story is told by different speakers, but it all ties in pretty well.

A bit more about the history and current state of Iqrit:

Israel and the IDF won’t allow people to return to their lands there since 1948, and now they’re using it to cry foul.

One minor flaw in their reasoning: Johny Srouji is Arab (but evidently passes as white).

Personally, I still prefer Android Auto (i.e. phone projected onto car screen) to Android Automotive (Android built into the car infotainment system). My phone gets way more updates than my car, and it’s cheaper to buy a new phone once it stops getting updates.

I have the same sentiment towards smart TVs vs plain old “dumb” TVs + a streamer.

heh.

I’ve already heard conspiracy theories about “the US government shutting down the internet” because someone misinterpreted this test.

FSM help us 🤦‍♂️
