From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light
That gets in your eyes
One moment's high
And glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightning
That flashes and fades
In the summer sky...

Going to cancel the apocalypse this afternoon in my reverse chrono GDT rewatch. It’s a live-action anime and one of the best films about the climate crisis (yeah, I said it). I love it dearly.

I slightly underrated the second Godzilla & Kong movie. It's got thoughtful things to say about adopted vs. biological families and what growing up in an abusive home does to one's moral compass and self-esteem. Also, there's a giant ice dragon that breathes ice, and Kong gets a mechanical hand.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Watching that show week by week in the 90's was incredible. First, I had to hunt that show, it finally ended up at 1:00 am on Sunday. Second, once The Coming of Shadows aired I went, "OK, this is Lord of the Rings in outer space." I can't watch Sleeping In Light without tearing up.

100% correct. I didn't have room in the skeet to note there's a quick blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment during his tirade where he pauses for a small cough, and just for a moment his facade slips away. He knows it's BS. For this to end up with him on the throne with a Keeper, holy crap, what a story.
Something I find fascinating about Londo in this episode is we see his reaction during the bombing of Narn - he's horrified. Then, it's almost as if he's a completely different person during his address to the assembled diplomats. Somewhere offscreen he made the choice to go all in.

I have a feeling that if we could ever find out what percentage of social media users are actually bot networks run by bad people to do bad things, we’d be horrified.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
