A few points of note after watching Total Recall

High-tech robot policemen can't seem to hit their target;

Hacking into a person't encrypted memory is like playing minesweeper;

Hammond is the most important character in the story i.e.: a convenient plot device.

Cast aside all involvements and cease all affairs. Do not think good or bad. Do not administer pros and cons. Cease all the movements of the conscious mind, the gauging of all thoughts and views. Have no designs on becoming a buddha. Zazen has nothing whatever to do with sitting or lying down.

Zen Master Dogen, "The Principles of Zazen"

Unfortunately, we can easily confuse nonattachment with avoidance of attachment. Avoidance of attachment, however, is not freedom from attachment. It’s another form of clinging—clinging to the denial of your human attachment needs, out of distrust that love is reliable.

John Welwood, "Human Nature, Buddha Nature"

Instead of focusing on some thoughts and feelings and pushing away others, just look at them as feathers flying in the wind. The wind is your awareness, your inborn openness and clarity.

Buddhism asks us to go beyond the self, not to perfect the self.

For Buddhism, faith doesn't mean the blind acceptance of teachings as unquestionable dogmas. Rather, faith suggests a combination of trust in the Buddha as a fully enlightened teacher, confidence in the Buddha and in his guidance, and feelings of devotion and reverence towards the Buddha. This quality of faith is to be strengthened because it's what builds our own commitment to the entire practice.

Bhikkhu Bodhi, "Recollection of the Buddha" (Tricycle Online Retreat, June 2012)

All I can say about the upcoming fiftieth is that obviously there's a big Dalek story opening the new series which is absolutely brilliant and any expectations you've got, double them, it's that good. It's so, so, so, so brilliant. And then the fiftieth which obviously is going to be a big hark back to everything that's gone before, there's going to be lots of nostalgia for Doctor Who fans over the next year or two years.

I'm liking the sound of this so, so much!

So, I drew a tongue-in-cheek "political" cartoon. With stick figures, no less.

Also, this is obviously a stereotypical observation, so don't get all Internet rage on me.
