@Parag A thousand times yes! :)

@bethanyh A mix of Pink Lady and Enterprise. We may add some Honey Crisp to the pie but they didn’t have them at the farm.

@JohnBrady That’s exactly right, and now I want to see both The Verdict and Network. Love Sydney Lumet.

@JohnBrady Maybe less sinister than that: pedestrians who in the past would have been “in a coma” for years, living in a long-term care facility (aka “vent farms”) may have edged towards brain death and organ donation as the definition of “brain death” slipped and people pronouncing it became less and less experienced. Just a thought.

@tinyroofnail A brilliant book from a brilliant writer. My favorite quote by far (much more poetic in the original) is “Fear the ram, fear the shit, when will you live?” — YOLO of its time. Now, whether he’s a Serbian or a Bosnian writer I’ll leave to others to adjudicate (the most appropriate adjective would probably be “Yugoslav”).

@tinyroofnail Can confirm.
