I've seen some a fair number of turkeys in the Boston, Brookline, and Cambridge areas over the years. But these may actually be the physically largest I can remember in the city.

Only afterward, I read that'd done a Comanche version.

I can what you mean though. Even while watching, I kept noticing details provided hints about the nature of the situation.

Also, I don't know about historic Comanche communities in particular, but I've been a little leery of assuming female hunters were rare in indigenous societies, since hearing a Science Magazine article on the subject.

But, maybe her being dissuaded from hunting would have been a thing in communities at the time, or would have been a local thing among this specific community.

Prey (2022)

Finally got around to watching Prey with my wife.

The most satisfying addition to the Predator franchise I've since the original movie. Maybe, arguably, better than the original in some ways, depending on tastes.

There were bits here and there that I kept wondering if they were a little anachronistic for events happening in 1719. But I'm no historian, and apparently I was wrong about at least one detail (cigars equivalents are pretty old).

I've mentioned in the past, and always happy to repeat:

I'm a big fan of Hinokodo's "Human Made" icons, intended to indicate a work includes no AI generated content.
Since coming across them, I've been using them in all my TTRPG supplements.

Seems to fit the Trumpist movement (and even many U.S. conservatives who revile Trump):

Part of core Trumpism is the idea that society (as pushed by The Left) has become polite or sensitive to a degree that's impractical, false, hypocritical & dangerous. That right-thinking people know in their hearts these impolite harsh "truths" are reality and no one should have to put up with others bullshit or self delusion.

Tuberville probably thinks he's just telling it like it is.
