Reviews
Yochanan
The Uplift War by David Brin (3rd book of series) the books are thematically
related. Uplifted chimpanzees. Really thorough. Fully self contained (don’t
need to read the others). There’s apparently three more. Highly recommend.

Blue Eye Samurai is a gorgeous, American-made adult animated tale (8 parts) on
Netflix. Incredible visuals, compelling main character, _extremely_ bloody.
Summed as: American director & writer watched everything Kurosawa ever did,
then decided to do Kill Bill meets Yentl. Highly watchable, has been renewed
for more later, already. Could wish the story line were less predictable, but
nobody's perfect. Feels not entirely (or very, really) Japanese, but made with
care. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Eye_Samurai

Rumor of the Week:
For a hoppin' good time, attend WSFS's next Business Meeting in Glasgow.
