Did you hear about that turtle in Atlanta?

Yeah I think they were afraid they'd ask for asylum, which is fine when, say, Cuban nationals defect (as they've done a few times at American tournaments like the Gold Cup), but not I guess when it's China. Of course, calling the president of Taiwan also angers China, but that was different because it didn't help…

Buffy Week Questions
Favorite season?

Villain?
Pun?

I didn't know Lavezzi and Witsel had gone over there or Felipão, Cannavaro, etc. I really have no idea, but Tevez, Guarín, and Obafemi Martins is not nearly as impressive a roster as it might have been in the past.

But everyone is going to leave and play in China! Surely those reports couldn't be wrong.

A girl on Buffy named Cassie is having portents of doom, but surely that's just coincidence. Just like when the Pylean word for the connection between Angel and Cordelia ("moira") happened to also be Greek for fate.

I'm worried it is the end for AW, too. I also wonder about Sanchez and Özil leaving this summer if that's the case. There feels like a lot of uncertainty around the club.

You hung one more year on the line?

Not only one of Mexico's best ever forwards, Hugol is also one of their best ever junkyard scourers.

Ludicrous displays.

To be fair, all his crashes and taxiway landings have happened while he was simultaneously fighting off terrorists trying to take over his plane. It happens a lot more often than you'd think.

She's done some pretty well regarded movies and Bojack (and some, I assume, dreck like Get Hard). I think she's the lead in G.L.O.W.

Probably no Chevy Chase either.

Come back, Logan! Come back!

Some Crusader Kings 2 patchnote highlights

Part of a brave new world where scifi is used for social commentary.

Yep. From the play R.U.R. by Karel Čapek. It's pretty good.

"… in a statement they mentioned that they’re “extremely excited” to turn Karlak’s short into a “film franchise.”
