The only thing that would be genuinely surprising is if a storyline resolved or a dead character stayed dead or they announced the next one would contain no CGI.

When you get a royal blue nano as a last line of defense, you name her Nut, mother of Isis and goddess protector of the living and the dead.

The goddess Nut (the sky) arching over and protecting her father, the god Shu (the air), and her husband, the god Geb (the Earth).

The connections being drawn between the Cornell 7 and Brock Turner bring up something crucial: The outrage at Turner’s insanely light sentence has ultimately made it impossible for him to blend back into society. Where legal redress failed, community stepped in to make sure no one would forget.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

When I worked at Texas A&M I asked people, why are these students dressed in pretend uniforms? The Corps of Cadets is pretend. It is not a part of the military. It's dress up. Its perfect for a pretend Secretary of Defense.

Twenty years of writing fashion commentary has taught me that this is the single most-cited fashion reference by the general public. People who don't know a thing about fashion or costume design remember this dress. It's safe to call it one of the most remembered dresses of the last hundred years.
