Rancher Ruby Barkley and her ex-husband Gabe Ramirez are competing head-to-head for the AgInnovator game show’s new one-shot award, the Ag Superhero.

But issues beyond those raised by their long-ago acrimonious divorce face Ruby and Gabe. Fence cutting. Rogue biobots destructively ranging beyond programmed parameters. Physical attacks. And the realization … Read more

Point of View: Where Are All the Gay Elves? (Spoilers)

by
Elrond - The Rings of Power

So. I just finished watching one of my most anticipated shows in years. The Rings of Power is the Lord of the Rings prequel that explores the Rise of Sauron and the forging of the One Ring (and all the others that are linked to it). Going in, I was a bit concerned about this new franchise… after all, it was constructed from whole cloth from some appendices at the end of the Lord of the Rings by the corporate folks over at Amazon Prime. Epic fantasy by committee. Even so, I actually enjoyed it. The visuals are gorgeous, every … Read more

Point of View: Laying the “Foundation” (Spoilers)

by
Foundation

Note: this column contains spoilers about the Foundation TV series. If you’ve not watched it yet you may want to wait until you do to read it. Because of my broken arm and surgery, I am still limited in what I can do. I can type to a certain extent, but my reach is not very far, mostly do self one-handed (insert jokes here) or via voice to text, which can create some interesting errors. Because of this, I am currently working from the couch, where it’s a lot more comfortable to use the keyboard on my laptop than the … Read more
