So, if you have a samsung a55 that is screen locked with a fingerprint and password;

BUT you do not have either;

No problem! The a55's security is a joke! Simply pocket the phone, walk around a bit, and it will unlock itself!!!

Highly peeved.

Rhys Bowen _Her Royal Spyness_ sounds like it'd be a funny story about a princess moonlighting in espionage; but no! It's actually a mockery of feckless aristocrats, a paean to labour, and a celebration of assertive can-do women. With a neat murder mystery to keep the plot moving.

The premise of _Supacell_ S01 (superpowers manifesting among minoritized youths) is fascinating but good golly the stupidity of the time traveller is so aggravating!!

The sexist fool could just use his words & tell his fiance the same truth he told his bro but nooo she is not worth that courtesy.

Started Olivia Atwater _Ten Thousand Stitches_ and am Aha an upstairs/downstairs slash; but no! Lo a fae offering a wager (whence the title) so ooh it is a romance and a puzzle? Wrong! Coz it pivots to a muse on class and gender and power, aristo bigotry, abuse, and pillage, and ends with a paen to unions. It is *such* a delight!

_School Spirits_ is a nicely written tv murder mystery; right upto the finale, which spends its time spinning new plot threads instead of solving anything. Subtle clues leading to a rational denouement, hah! Massive letdown is what you get!!

We Lankans are v familiar with hamhanded information blackouts by governments and other nasties: turns all that unjust, irrational, absurd overreach has a cold logic to it. Capricious crackdowns, especially of public figures, induce us all to self-censor --- and _that_ is the goal. Ada Palmer has the fascinating details:
