How is this due to online shopping? If I were driving to a store to buy those same goods, how would that reduce the amount of carbon used to ship them from China?

But mainly Egg sees how badly the feudal system treats the smallfolk as they travel through Westeros, which inspires him to be a more egalitarian king once he takes the throne.

That’s still a pretty small share of overall emissions, and while shipping creates CO2 (for now) it’s still far more efficient in that regard than the alternatives.

Dunk and Egg should definitely not have a tone as dark as Game of Thrones did. 

Oh hell yes. I’ve been hoping for this one for years - you could easily do it as a highly episodic show with effectively “adventures of the week”, and the only real challenge would be that Egg is a kid in the stories with all the “kid/teen actor” stuff (maybe they could commit from the get-go on being willing to…

Wow, 7 figures! What currency is that in, it isn’t in USD.

I was one of the flights that got cancelled this weekend.

Was supposed to go to Atlanta from Tampa at 10:15am on Saturday. SW sent a text message at 5:11am saying the flight had been cancelled. I ended up switching flights 3 more times. One was a Tampa-Dallas-Charleston-Atlanta that would’ve taken from 4:05pm-9:40pm,…

The Newsweek brand was purchased a while back and turned into one of those websites that just angles to become a top result on Google News when people search for current stories. Who cares about the content? Just get those clicks!

“Vaccine” isn’t a vaccine at all, Corona isn’t deadly, it’s on par with the flu. My body, my choice, yadda yadda yadda... “Healthcare for all!”, But no hospital beds for the unvaccinated. “Quit your job if you don’t like it!”, *Quits*, “reeeeeee it’s my right to not have my flight delayed.” Ivermectin is horse…

Did the weather impact flights on other airlines, or were the Southwest planes the only ones sensitive to the bad weather conditions?

Great article, more in depth stuff like this please.

Wasn’t the series ALREADY remastered to some extent? I recall a “Robotech Remastered” series showing up on Prime Video a couple of years ago (doesn’t seem to be on there now, however....)

Harmony Gold had rights to many different imported shows and routinely did a sample dub episode or two to see if anybody would buy it. So that’s indeed how there was a dub of Macross episode 1, with mostly the same actors who would later dub Robotech. The 70-minute video was Harmony Gold’s attempt to sell dubbed…

that’s one thing Harriot seems to miss a lot, I don’t see a lot of agreement amongst minorities about the whole “defund the police” movement(which really is a confusing slogan, and I agree with Will Smith’s recent comments regarding it) many don’t support that slogan or abolition.

Agreed. Mind you my comment was not meant as a slight against Black people in general just the fact that ‘Black People’ are not a hive mind. Unfortunately, conservatives have become excellent at convincing people to vote against their own best interests, and move the needle increasingly to the Right. And that’s…

I, unfortunately, have to agree. It’s crazy to me that in Atlanta of all places I see nothing but a sea of white faces at a John Lewis voting rights rally. The solidarity is surely appreciated but we also need our people to demonstrate more motivation and activism ALL THE TIME, not only when it’s convenient or getting…

I’m black as they come, but some of this is just incorrect. You talk about the unbearable whiteness of the Democratic party, and then proceed to demonstrate that it’s real by posting a bunch of polls about what all white people think.

Black people aren’t collectively progressive enough to help themselves. Point blank.

The poster child for Progressive America, AOC, just changed a No vote to Present (because of political pressure) on a bill to give millions of taxpayer dollars to support a genocidal regime when that regime has billions of it’s own money to spend.

The problem has never been public opinion in general. The problem, at least in my state, is that the people who want to see Roe overturned vote in every fucking election, and the Texas legislature is dominated by lawmakers who only need their votes.
