[Political] Russia has been suspiciously chill with this and Venezuela, two of their allies. Am I the only one who suspects a behind the scenes deal to serve Ukraine on a platter in exchange for Iran, Venezuela and Cuba?

+ antibiotics are for bacterial, NOT VIRAL, infections. Not colds (a virus), unless your sinuses are infected. People pop antibiotics like candy, thinking they cure you of just about any flu or cold. Wrong.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@ScienceScholar/116104322811592144 Hollywood, I have a movie for you. We can meet directly at the bank.

One of the great things about blocking certain words and names on Mastodon is that you can tell that big news are happening when your feed gets dramatically shorter.

I don’t know what’s with big studio movies since The Force Awakens. They only try to tell a story for the first half of the film, and the second is just a bunch of pointless running around.

This is actual mail that the GOP is sending. I guess they are playing the long game 🤷‍♂️

In the past few years, I have worked on multiple coming-of-age films set in the late 90s. I thought it was a wave of nostalgia, but today a director told me: it is not nostalgia; that is the last time in history when you can set a human plot about teenagers without half of it dealing with […]

If you walk into any bar or café in Spain right now, you will encounter the sound of choir children chanting out numbers, either out of the TV, or if they lack it, a radio. The same can be said for a lot of building receptions, offices, and living rooms around the nation. This is one of Spain’s […]
