The new UI looks good. Much easier to find things and keep track of everything. I reinstalled the other day to try the beta and instantly remembered what a good game CoQ is

Damn, the orcas are getting police voice in the media

It's truly astonishing how the biggest takeaway from COVID rocking the US was that we just don't do public health as a concept anymore

familysearch.org is the Mormons' website. I was shocked how much info they had

With that first paragraph, at least, I get where they're coming from but I feel like it's likely that they've never actually killed somebody. Yes, it's morally acceptable and good to kill Nazis, and also taking a life is a thing that sticks with you in ways you don't expect (from what I've heard; I've never killed anybody either). I just feel like that's a weird thing to criticize the film for. I really doubt anybody goes away from Come And See believing that killing Nazis is wrong or bad, just that war is hell.

I could be totally off-base here; I haven't see the film in a long time. But that criticism just strikes me as not really warranted

I wish there was a way to filter out visual novels when sorting through the stuff in the bundle. I respect the art form but it's not the sort of thing I'm ever looking for

This has me curious about what LIS (Italian Sign Language) is like

If Red Dawn is anti-imperialist, then anti-imperialism doesn't actually mean anything beyond "government bad." Look up John Milius, the director:

I'm not a reactionary—I'm just a right-wing extremist so far beyond the Christian Identity people like that and stuff, that they can't even imagine.

It's one of his very early books and there isn't actually a ton that happens in it. As part of his Three Californias trilogy there was some interesting stuff but overall I'd probably consider it a pass. Though I really enjoyed Aurora and 2312, so our tastes may not necessarily align

The Wild Coast by Kim Stanley Robinson is basically about this; the US gets the fuck nuked out of it and then the rest of the world takes turns patrolling the US coasts to make sure nobody leaves

I looked up some reviews of this thing because I was curious what it actually is, and after reading them, I'm still not sure what this object does.

On NBC they were doing picture-in-picture so you could also watch basketball at the same time
