Has any other TV show quite so spectacularly blown up after such a good first season?
The erasure of the Heroes fandom thanks to the later seasons is so bad I saw a clickbait youtube title calling it a series "you've never seen".
Look, the show was MASSIVE (for a few months), everyone saw it and then collectively forgot it.

Ronaldo is the perfect ambassador for the coming World Cup. An avatar for greed, selfishness, ego, corruption, toxic masculinity, and lack of consequences for one’s actions.
Cristiano Ronaldo has magically had his ban reduced so he can start the World Cup. There is no precedent...but then he met the President. How depressing...

I think there is a better than 50% chance that he has never read the Constitution he swore to defend. I’d bet my house he couldn’t answer five simple questions about it.
Someone has to remind him that he swore an oath to defend the Constitution, which includes obeying our laws.

Sometimes you do find historically accurate info about Japan online. This ancient art of Dutch-catching is called dejima-jutsu and it has applications in business, health, personal relationships, and politics.
![Painting of the artificial island of Dejima off Nagasaki, the only official port where foreigners, but only the Dutch, could trade with Japan during the country's isolationist period known as Sakoku that lasted from the early 17th century to the mid 19th century.
The joke caption above says: "The japanese [sic] built an artificial island, knowing these are the natural habitat of the dutch [sic]. Soon afterwards, a flock of dutch [sic] merchants settled there, allowing the japanese [sic] to easily harvest western goods."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3a2vqx5jnnywl7jeap5d6xab/bafkreiansivpallmscizksaxalcivlmuarwgvp4ia7aftdwdiqflven7du@jpeg)

Ross dating one of his students is portrayed as a subject of comedy, but not a fundamental moral and professional failing.

Someone really needs to whisper in Trump’s ear that they don’t think the US should go to war on behalf of the woman who stole his peace prize.
The US has fought wars for bad reasons, but this would be the first time we fought a war for no reason.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Biggest shift in my lifetime. Alongside this is how cheap and easy it is to get groceries delivered in UK.
on the other hand UK supermarkets are *so much* better than US ones at this point. Just night and day in terms of quality, range, accessibility, and price.

At dawn on the 26 Jan 1969 a very large panda head appeared on a chalk hillside in Laverstock near Salisbury. For years whoever carved it remained a mystery. Eventually some university students owned up to the stunt.

It seems reasonable to point out in any discussion of the Ukraine ‘Peace Deal’ that the supposedly historic Middle East ‘Peace Deal’ has not in fact delivered all that much peace. Something most of the media seems to somehow think it is unfair to mention.

Musk’s ‘fertility crisis’ stuff is based on some polemic stuff from the early Principate - which is 400+ years before the fall of the Western Empire. That is like blaming the fall of the British Empire on Tudor sheep farming practices.
