Books - Grantville Gazettes v1-3 (2004-7) [/] This is a series of fiction anthologies based on Eric Flint's 1632 universe. The stories are semi-professional, often written by enthusiasts on the 1632 forums. Each volume ends with several knowledge articles about how present technologies could be used in 1632 and how hard it is to rapidly industrialize a region. I found these sort of interesting but don't really add to the novels since they tend to feature new or secondary characters.

Netflix Movie - Falling for Christmas (2022) [/] Christmas romantic movie. Social media influencer and heiress Sierra Belmont (Lindsay Lohan) gets into a skiing accident and is rescued by small and struggling ski resort owner Jane Russell (Chord Overstreet). She's lost her memory so he offers her a room at his inn where she learns about doing chores and cooking and falling in love... Nothing special here but good enough to watch if you're in the mood.

Movie - Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) [-] Suffering workaholic and overbearing mom Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) is contacted by an alternate universe variant of her husband Waymond (Ky Huy Quan) who tells her the multiverse depends on her. She goes from denial to acceptance to having to actually save the multiverse while patching things up with her lesbian daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu) and Waymond, who was intending on filing for divorce... I didn't like the sci fi aspects, more specifically that it's goofy sci fi, which leaves the family drama and I wasn't into that.
