***It seems that the screen savers are now working on both computers. For a week or so neither machine would display the screen saver and I thought that it had to do with the 'Chrome Graphic Equalizer' extension. The very next time I left the computer, the screen saver failed to materialize. Fuck it. {I noticed online that Chrome is aware of the problems with the equalizer extension}.
Watched 'FRANCE' (Hoopla). A very dark satire on the career of the most famous female television journalist in French media. She represents a world in which the 'news presenter' is made to appear more important than 'the news'; with Lea Seydoux. "57" Metascore. The lead character's name is 'France de Meurs' and 'meurs' translates from the French as 'die' or 'you're dead'.
Watched an hour biography/ screenplay about Kurt Vonnegut, ''KURT VONNEGUT INTERVIEW ON HIS LIFE AND CAREER' (1983)- Vonnegut Hardware Company, The story of Breakfast of Champions, On science fiction, Chicago Public Library Freedom to Read Award, The Corpse Mines, His writing style, Cat's Cradle except, Mother's burial, Commercial for bulletproof clothing, Intellectual Freedom Award. Kilgor Trout believed that mirrors were portals between universes. "Hey, don't stand too close to that mirror. You wouldn't want to be sucked into another universe, now would you".

More 'THE GANGS OF OSLO' (Netflix). I shut it down 33 minutes into episode #5. I'll be able to finish this series tomorrow morning.
***During the series I ordered this from Amazon- 'BIASED' by Jennifer Eberhardt. The book was featured in one scene in 'THE GANGS OF OSLO'. It's a book about hidden prejudice and unconscious bias. Sounds interesting and I haven't read non-fiction in a long time.
