2. The show has Indonesia as the epicenter of the pandemic. I recently read @lawrence_wright's "The End of October", a novel about a fictional pandemic that also places Indonesia at the center. Is there something about that country that makes it a hotbed of global pandemics?

Does anyone else remember SNL's "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey"? Not sure why I remembered them all of a sudden. https://t.co/iDoRpwIgXq

Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory

Sarah Polley

While I probably disagree with some of her politics, I think that, aside from being a great filmmaker, Sarah Polley is a terrific writer. Just finished her essay collection ("Run Towards the Danger") & it's so poignant & thoughtful. And it affected my thinking on a big issue.

5/ He had created, to use Kanan Makiya's phrase, a "republic of fear". He made life hell for Iraqis. He gassed the Kurds at Hallabja. These facts weren't invented by Wolfowitz & Cheney. So what should the ethical response have been? Abandon Iraq to Saddam & his insane sons?
