Being a parent and being a developer are a lot alike.

You spend all your time trying to find ways to teach this little brain how it's supposed to behave and respond and what to know and what to share or do in any given situation, hopefully in a way it'll understand, praying the whole time it actually sticks and the thing you're talking to doesn't just decide to do something that never even crossed your mind the minute you're not looking.

@StillIRise1963 I saw someone on here yesterday say that we are in the midst of an American Cold Civil War (Civil War II?), and that's why we're all so exhausted and anxious. And I just about flipped my lid over the accuracy.

For anybody reading that and trying to figure out how to choose between supporting Israel or Palestine, I once again beg you

not to think of those as opposing choices here. The two sides here are (1) “people who want peace,” which includes many people of many nationalities, and (2) “people who want genocide,” which includes (among others) Likud and Hamas, united in their need for atrocities to justify the total conflict they both want.

That’s the choice. It should not be a hard one.

26. The Uninvited (1944). A really charming gothic story about a pair of adult siblings dealing with a haunted house. The setting is very close to The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, but despite two romantic subplots the overall tone of The Uninvited is a bit chillier.
