Recs, Memes, the NHS, and suchlike.
Ooooh, stuff!
1) I recommend you all go watch![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaila43's fantabulous TSCC vid about Agent Ellison and how he's always two steps behind Sarah Connor - confusing, terrifying Sarah who nevertheless is quite clearly the only thing on that entire road - two steps behind or not - that can make any of this make sense or provide even the illusion of safety. Shelter from the Storm.
2) Per a heads up fromgonzo21, right-wing conservative american blogs are now attempting to shape the future of their national healthcare by claiming that we execute old people and Stephen Hawking would NEVER HAVE SURVIVED UNDER THE BRITISH NHS. XD
Oh, my. It's probably all Mr Hawking's fault really for not insisting that they give his little robot voice a British accent. I mean, obviously.
(For the record, I think that our NHS could be a hell of a lot better, and yes, people do die while on waiting lists, same as people die in the USA because their insurance doesn't cover them and nothing is perfect, but another thing that US right-wing anti-NHS pundits seem to forget is, it's not like we've outlawed private healthcare. I might hate BUPA's adverts, but it is a fairly popular NHS alternative. The point is, um, ANEURIN BEVAN WE ALL LOVE YOU, even if your statue does end up with a traffic cone on its head after nearly every weekend.)
3) MEME! Um, people have been doing that 5 top fannish whatevers meme, and I guess I'll play too? Honestly I'm worried I won't be able to come up with enough, but, it sounds like lots of fun?
So! Ask me my top five fannish whatevers, and I'll answer them all in a new post!
