Best comment!

Yeah, it’s raining. I watched Big Little Lies. Has anyone seen it? Initially, I did not like much of the first episode. But a certain thing near the end of it piqued my interest. I am glad I watched the whole season. I am trying to watch Succession, but their abrupt zooms is really triggering my ver...

I think getting Geiger counter is a good idea.

My husband watched it, but I couldn't stand to. It was too disturbing, and I wasn't that far away at the time. When I asked him what he'd learned, he said that the children in Frankfurt were not allowed to play outside for a week or so. I WAS STATIONED AT FRANKFURT at that time and NOBODY told warn...

Anyone watch HBO X Sky’s production of the miniseries Chernobyl? I am kind of obsessed. It’s so good. I had no idea of any of the details. I was shocked by the amount of criminal negligence by the state and the plain disbelief in the early hours of the accident. They work at a nuclear plant and don’...

I thought there would be a thread for this. It is super exciting that scientists have now for the first time, been able to directly image a black hole. The black hole imaged is the supermassive black hole in the centre of galaxy M87. I will just post some links here, including 2 of the 6 simultaneou...

I wonder if, that even though it's a functioning church, especially due to it's cultural heritage (especially as it's already designated a UNESCO World heritage site), that now there will be an argument for much more funding in the future as it is a heritage building. It's not "just" a rel...

Excellent video.

I think they will Voronwë.
I did hear about the October 31 deadline, but through FB feed on of BBC News (I turn on live notifications.)

Honestly, the Russian dashcam analogy is perfect. *lol*

I heard Russians have dash cams as insurance scams are a problem there. Don’t know if that is true.

Alatar, that video is brilliant.

I heard that it’s suspected the police bungled the case. Considering the “leaks” were so frequent, it could be an indicator of how they conducted the rest of their investigation. A defence attorney could drive an oil tanker through the prosecution.

He pretty much screwed everyone who falls victim to a hate crime from this point on. And that is the real problem. People that do things like that hurt those who are real victims of crime/discrimination/sexual assault. :( An interesting twist on the subject of cultural appropriation: recently Arian...

My feelings are studies show it’s best not to give attention. With the prevalence of mass shootings, I feel a set of journalistic standards should be set on how to report on these incidents. Just like with suicide reporting. Jacinda Ardern, is doing exactly what everyone else should be doing. (I was...

Thank you Frelga for the link.

I think the New Zealand Prime Minister did a very good speech at her press conference. She said what a lot of media seems to be afraid to say. (The Toronto Star called one of the perpetrators “the gunman”. *eyeroll*)

That is an excellent question. Been thinking the same thing. So perplexing.

I liked the Wonder Woman trailer. Her and the women of Themyscara, look physically intimidating. Considering it's a culture of warrior women, I am glad they got that look down. I just hope it's good. Anyone see Suicide Squad?

I have seen the whole thing. It's quite binge-able. I sometimes get distracted by the bad hair and bad decor. And it was really like that! I will admit though, most of the 80's movies referenced, I haven't seen. I haven't seen all of E.T. or The Goonies. Or anything John Carpenter. I have to say I f...

As did many many other countries. I do know of a Canadian bank that is considering leaving the UK to, since they were based in the UK because it was in the EU. In the short term there will be a recession. After that, who knows, only time will tell on the economic end. On the ideas end, it's just ugl...

This is pretty depressing.
