Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Blakes 7, of course. As unsettling and ambiguous as the rest of that magnificent series. And deployed an Avon smile in the best possible time and way.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

Heatwaves are hitting many Australian regions this week, with multiple days 35ºC (95ºF) to 45ºC+ (113ºF+)🥵
There’s ~250 heat related deaths in Australia annually, more than have died in bushfires in last 10 years combined.

Ok I'm going to suggest a goal for everyone to try to accomplish right away: back up all of your files on an external hard drive or thumb drive. NOT the cloud! I mean on something you own not connected to the internet that some other company or person has control over.

The dark spots on the moon are called "maria" (seas) and are named stuff like "Sea of Tranquility". E because of that the International Astronomical Union officially declared that Moscow is a state of mind.
