After two viewings of Wildwood, I'm kind of looking forward to both the Oscars and the CinemaSins video. I'll help the latter get started: 1. Oregon has vultures in the summer that can famously smell a freshly dead son from miles away. No vultures in the Avian Principality for some reason? (1/3)

2. Alexandra orders the coyotes to charge into the valley and then drops artillery on them, killing her own troops. Start with the artillery first, idiot. Save the crows until last as a surprise. (2/3)

We can eliminate D because leading is allowed on cross. I'm with you on no one cares about confirming an address, so not C. I'm leaning towards A because it's focusing the witness on getting hit in a particular place. An obviously less suggestive question would be "Where did the defendant hit you?"

It feels super insane to come on here just to drop the #T3BE thread so I'll refer everyone to Substack for my thoughts on Mahmoud Khalil before Friday's OA. TLDR, this case is worth its weight in outrage. Words: deportnation.substack.com T3BE + SAVE Act: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Sean Connery's final film role was as Allan Quatermain in LXG. Meanwhile, his Hunt for Red October co-star James Earl Jones appeared in Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold. Was the latter any good? I know the former wasn't.

Why do so many references to Schrรถdinger's Cat mischaracterize the thought experiment? I just saw yet another that described it as "a cat in a box may be alive or dead but you won't know until it's opened," which reduces the unintuitive nature of a Bell's state to an obvious triviality.

You would think if you send a package at the end of November, it would make it to Canada by Christmas, but you have to keep in mind the postal service has to shuffle it back and forth between distribution centers for a month before it can leave the country.

You are up to date.
