Ich habe gerade #plaque!
Jetzt versuche ich #office365 zu installieren und das schlägt laufend fehl. Tipp aus dem Netz: einen Registry-Eintrag machen, dann gehts. Tatsächlich. Man muss die Sicherheitseinstellungen aushebeln, damit man den Murks registrieren kann.
Was ein Schrott. Und das wollen die hier komplett einführen und #Linux verbannen. Ich brauch echt einen anderen Job, oder eine Menge #Tranquilizer als Lutscher.

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

The Stepford Wives (1975)

Something is not right in Stepford.

This film draws on two major cultural happenings during the early 1970s, the women's liberation movement and another development which I’ll explain under a CW (content warning) later in this thread because it’s a spoiler. The protagonist, played by Katharine Ross (The Graduate, The Final Countdown) and her new friend played by Paula Prentiss (Catch 22) notice how seemingly idyllic the town of Stepford is, but how backward and subservient all the women are.

During the late 60s and early 70s the women's liberation movement was at its height, with women burning their bras to protest their subjugation and demonstrate their liberation. The Stepford Wives is full of contemporary references and really gives you a feel for what was going on regarding changing roles between men and women at the time.

The film also features Tina Louise, who played “Ginger” on Gilligan’s Island.

A very well-made film, highly recommended.
