I also think that Javier Bardem is miscast. As good of an actor as he is, he sounds nothing like Desi (in the trailer) and only bears a passing resemblance.

Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are both great. But they seem completely miscast.

“Singling out the continent of Africa yet again...”

The biggest challenge to natural conservationists is human populations. That was true in 2017, and it remains true in 2021. He could have said something different for the sake of saying something different, but it would either be less true or less germane.

This whole post was a meander of tangentially related bits of information trying (and failing) to support a main argument. Protecting biodiversity in Africa, environmental racism in the US, Meghan Markle’s experience in the royal family, and Black Lives Matter should not all be mentioned in the same article.

You can call it racist, but this-

Shelter Cat Update!

Shelter Cat Update!

Polyester is the devil's fabric. Fact! 

How people wear these 100% polyester pyjamas and underwear just baffles me.
Couldn’t and will never be me, however cute they are. 

Krispy this is awful to hear. I’m sorry that happened to you and also sorry for the cats who benefit so much from your patience and close observation as a cleaner. I’m glad you’re still there helping as many as you can, in whatever way you can, but it must be so frustrating for you right now. You do so so much good,…

My computer crashed and I lost Shelter Cat Update. I’ll have to start from scratch. This is especially hard because I talked about what happened this past week. I didn’t do my clean-and-feed shift today because it seems to be official - I have been terminated as a cleaner because of petty reasons. While I am still…

Kamala Harris holds the highest office a woman has ever held in the history of this country. She has been in France (a major ally) all week engaging with Macron, one of the most powerful persons in the world. She addressed climate change, economic inequality, violence against women, election security and smoothed over…

I can’t watch Nicole Kidman in anything anymore because she has had so much work done she can’t move her face anymore. It was so distracting on The Undoing and Big Litte Lies I couldn’t focus on anything her character was saying. I can’t imagine her as Lucy, who moved her face so much.

Sure, but you don’t have to live in Boulder, even if you work in Boulder.
You also don’t have to live in a house to live in Boulder.
I don’t care what the area is - if you’re living in, and can afford, a 1.5M house and that’s the median in the area, you’re not in any way shape or form “Middle Class”.

Also I think we have different definitions of the middle of middle class.

Vegetation is what keeps dunes in place, though. And the spot with these issues is the Maspalomas nature reserve sand dunes.

Sounds to me like if you fornicate on Canary Islands beaches, you’re likely to end up lying in human feces and used condoms. If beach authorities just put that on signs, I bet it would cut down the instances of beach sex dramatically.
