I had started listening to NPR Up First every morning, but I may have to add another short, happy news podcast.

People think things are worse than they are…in most cases, at least.

I need to get off Twitter…social savoring is interesting too.

I’m on board already. As an optimist for the most part, with some inward facing cynicism, I’m very fascinated by the hopeful skepticism approach. Scratches my engineer brain.

I’m very excited to get further into this. A self-proclaimed optimist already has had some opinions changed.

WOW. I expected dark, but it ended up being dark in a very different way.

This jumped RIGHT in. Fascinating so far. Curious to see how this all comes together over 300 more pages.

Things are moving forward beautifully. The boy read omens of hawks in the sky and saved the oasis from destruction. He met the alchemist, and has set out with him to find his treasure, leaving Fatima to wait for him.

This is EXCELLENT so far. Really enjoying what’s happening. The set up is fascinating, it’s not overwhelming but there’s plenty going on.

They made the first trip across the desert! Lots of chatter with the Englishman and talk of tribal wars, but the oasis is safe for now.

Really enjoying this. The boy worked a crystal shop for almost a year, saved up money and decided to keep the journey going instead of going back home.

This is really fascinating so far. It’s written in a captivating way, gives the feeling of a biblical fable or a children’s story.

The wormhole kinda spit them out after giving them both insane radiation sickness. Had to go back to Elysium for some mineral to cure them, Quentin has to go out for it. UMD is all men

Fight AND flight. They’re splitting up, Quentin and Ripley headed back for the wormhole, Kai, Atom, Smith, and the cyborg dude going to the ground on Paradise.

Father/son reunion here, very sweet. Captures the strangeness of the situation pretty well!

So the Ultra 85 already knew about Paradise. The richest and most powerful people formed the whole mission, got the human race into space, established themselves on Paradise…then everyone that was sent to the planet (the best and brightest) was secretly enslaved to serve the elite there - the Ultra 85. Bruh.

This is something alright, they made it to the supposed City of Stars in Paradise, but a huge swarm of guard cyborgs (?) tried to kill them? Their new robot buddy helped them, and somehow Quentin’s DAD shows up in his ship and saves them?! And now Thalia can’t be trusted?? Interesting. It’s moving insanely fast.

This is moving VERY fast. They went through a wormhole, somehow crashed into themselves, crash landed on a planet they think is Paradise, but in the bad side, and have activated the Atom robot from the cover of the album which annihilated a bunch of bats with wings for them. It feels like a strange Saturday morning cartoon.
