To the person in the neighborhood with the extended barrage: that's either very impressive or your house exploded. In either case, you've now had a non-stop ten minutes of kaboom and that's quite enough. I'm starting to think it's 1917 and we're on the Western Front.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

I'm always amused by hockey stats. Where do they find these metrics? Tonight's fun one: team with the most points by players that were _not_ on the team last year. (Sharks, with 88.)

This - so very much this. (And click through to the rest - good stuff about how we've ruined our connection with the sky.)
I think people today don't understand just how dramatically the night sky has changed - it looked like it does in super remote areas *everywhere* before the invention of electric lighting, and light pollution that obscures the sky has gotten dramatically worse in the last 25 years.
If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day
"I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off.
There's silence for a second.
"Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.
Sigourney Weaver Says She Wishes DreamWorks Released A Director’s Cut Of ‘Galaxy Quest,’ Reminisces On Sequel That Never Came To Pass
Sigourney Weaver reflected on cult classic Galaxy Quest and how she wishes the sci-fi satire had released an R-rated director's cut.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.
