“Patty Jenkins walked off of Wonder Woman 3 after Warner asked her to rewrite the script, which was reportedly “atrocious” and more of WW84. She was given the opportunity to submit something else, but rage quit instead. However, it appears that Warner might just be stepping over her and bringing in another director. Meanwhile, we also lost a Michael Keaton Batman Beyond movie, apparently.”
I’m curious what her vision was for this series…just to understand what she had in mind…I’m not hellbent on actually watching it all play out.
“We know so little about the structure of the Earth. For example, our planet is not fully spherical, as it slightly flattens when rotating. Therefore, its equatorial diameter (12.754 km) is 43 km larger than the polar one (12.711 km). Our planet is the densest celestial body in the solar system, followed by Mercury among other planets. Different layers of our planet’s core, crust, and mantle rotate at different speeds relative to each other. Oxygen makes up about 50% of the entire mass of the earth’s crust, which is found in bound form in almost all minerals. About 25% of the crust is silicon, and the remaining 25% is everything else.
The continental crust is on average 35-45 km thick but it can reach 75 km under mountain ranges. The matter density in the center of the Earth’s core reaches 12.5 tons per 1 m³, and the pressure there is about 3.7 million atmospheres.
Humanity has dived deep into oceans, flown to the moon, and even sent its robotic explorers to Mars. We have studied the surface of the Earth quite well, but as always the most interesting thing lies deep inside. And although these depths are literally under our feet, we know little more about them, if not less, than about the deepest space. A whole “expedition” is needed to look even a little into the earth’s crust, just like flying to the moon. And there have been such projects that brought some amazing data.
Well, it’s time to find out what lies deep down in the ground. Is there life out there? And what interesting things have already been found there?
Today we’ll look at three of the most interesting ultra-deep wells that became one of the first projects exploring extreme depths of the earth’s crust.
“Did you know there are more types of twin than just identical or fraternal? There are actually 6 types of twins that are extremely rare, and can teach us a lot more about the science of human development. Join Hank Green for a interesting journey into the world of rare twins.”
“WotC has cost Hasbro stock dearly. Magic: The Gathering players are accusing the company of getting greedy and overprinting MTG cards during the pandemic. The company denies this, but also says they’re doubling down on bringing other IP into MTG. Dungeons & Dragons players are next — WotC says they’re interested in pushing microtransactions and digital downloads vis D&D Beyond. Are they going to kill the golden goose?”
“Bhagwan Rajneesh | Alien Lizard Humanoids #1
In the 1980s, a controversial spiritual guru named Bhagwan Rajneesh (otherwise known as Osho) set up a commune in Oregon in the 1980s.
I have a blog header with a quote from this guy…Not that I had any deep understanding of who he was, when I made it…but I agree with the statement quoted.
Would I have not made the header if I’d have known all of this?…Maybe…Or, maybe I would have anyway…Wise sentiments come from many sources…Some have a concerning history…
…Life is complicated…I’ll eventually retire that header…but I don’t regret making it.
Everyone wishes we could stick it to the haters and not give a fuck about what those assholes think. But then someone says that one little thing and our insecurity spirals out of control and next thing we know we’re curled up in the fetal position again.
The good news is, we care about what people think because we aren’t complete monsters. If we didn’t care about others, we would be an even more terrible species than we already are. So instead of asking how to stop caring about what people think, we should ask: how do I better manage my response to what people think?
Now that’s a real fucking question.
In this video, I’ve got a short answer, a long answer and an answer that will probably surprise you.”
One critical complication here…is when we are talking about human beliefs which overwhelm a culture so egregiously, and in ways that make it impossible to just ignore.
If people largely have this idea, that by your simple existence they have some “right” to kill you…or imprison you…or ostracize you…or take away your ability to survive and thrive…you cannot just ignore that.
If possible, though…this is exactly why minority communities come into existence. They’re made up of people who understand each other, and who wont [normally] treat each other so badly…
…Those communities are good…but…does that mean we should stop fighting to change the outside culture?…to change what people think about us?…
…I think…by our very nature…we are forced to fight for something better.
“As China cracks down on zero-Covid protests and Western media and governments criticise the country’s authoritarianism, aren’t they condemning the very same lockdowns that they advocated here?

“Peruvian President Pedro Castillo has been deposed and arrested in what many are describing as a “legislative coup.” Castillo is a former union organizer who was elected in 2021 but was removed from office by the opposition-controlled legislature after attempting to dissolve the Congress of Peru and rewrite the nation’s Constitution.
Jimmy and Convo Couch host Craig “Pasta” Jardula discuss the struggles Castillo has faced since coming into office and the missteps that led to the coup and his likely impending prison sentence.”
“Fresh off an extraordinary betrayal from Democrats, railroad workers are beginning to rethink the longstanding but increasingly unidirectional alliance between labor and the Democratic Party. In a press release the Railroad Workers Union indicated that the union needed to explore options outside the two-party system with one organizer saying railroad workers had been “played for well over a century by politicians and union officials alike.”
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the rail workers’ betrayal by Democrats and the way leftist commentators like Ryan Grim run interference for progressive Democrats involved in the betrayal.”
