The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0
@beyondreasdoubt@jarvis_best Ryan gosling desperately trying to save humanity but rocky just keeps asking about nancy mace and teaching him the eridian word for “snack”
@neontaster I think a big part of GRRM’s issue is that he let the show get ahead of him, which killed any interest in writing, bc the story was already out there. Rothfuss got distracted with cons and partnering with Lin Manuel Miranda for the tv adaptation, then that fell apart

@MichaelFKane My interest in Zelda has always been uneven. LTTP and WW are the only ones I’ve truly loved. OOT was fine but maybe I played it too late. I bounced hard off of BOTW, just didn’t do it for me. But LTTP I still play every so often, and playing it with my boys is enormously fun
@wrmead reading Fuller’s “Grant and Lee” and was struck by his observation that the lack of bayonet deaths heralded the dawn of the era of the rifle bullet, compared to your recent observation of the lack of bullet wounds in Ukraine. Seems like perhaps a new era again…
Our officers are on the scene of a wreck involving a pickup truck that lost control and crashed through a fence and into a house on Bowman Road. No injuries. Driver cited for reckless driving. Bowman closed northbound at Stuart Engals. Tow company working to remove the truck.
@MichaelFKane SNES maps remain the greatest. FF6, Chrono Trigger, S Mario World, Secret of Mana. I have a ton of affection for the PS era final fantasies, but something about the SNES format just feels perfect.
All this gibble gabble about Nolan’s Odyssey and NO ONE can see the objectively correct solution.
Muppet Odyssey. Everyone would love it. Helen of Troy could be green or blue … or a pig … and no one would care.
It’s perfect. All we need is to pick out the token real human. It’s your call …
“Lupita Nyong’o can’t be Helen of Troy!!! 😡😡😡”
Oh really? Cuz it made you super mad and ready to fight over her, and that’s kind of Helen’s whole thing.
