NASA announces the geology team for Artemis 3. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-selects-geology-team-for-the-first-crewed-artemis-lunar-landing I'm a bit excited at the news for two friends who are on it. One is a prof at a Canadian university so that will have downstream benefits for hundreds of Canadian researchers and students. Had a few days with him at the Haughton Impact Crater in the Arctic on Devon Island, studying meteor impact sites for their similarity to likely abodes of bacterial life in the cracks. The other is an planetary scientist from NASA whom I spent with a her and a dozen others for a month in the Australian Outback doing Mars analog studies in deserts, particularly where some of the oldest stromatalite structures could be found.

Decided at the last minute to go see Blue Beetle in theatres. My theatre is about 3/4th full so a bit regretting the impulsivity. This has been declared a flop already but maybe it has good word of mouth?

Would be nice if this is over this year. What are the chances for a Ukrainian D-Day and what would that even look like? I assume paradropping 200,000 soldiers behind enemy lines is out of the question.

Youtube link for it:

Chopper seems more understandable in this too, which people in comments on the video have said is due to Filoni voicing it a bit slower than in the cartoon.

She was great in Ripper Street.

Well, she has a deeper voice than the cartoon version.

haha no. It's from the Lady Dynamite series, starring Maria Bamford.

That's Mrs. Obi-Wan Kenobi. Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Don't seem subdued to me, what you on about?

The Peripheral cancelled / unrenewed. There's at least one other Prime show unrenewed for season 2 prior to filming. I guess something like Citadel.

Dinklage, Hathaway & Tomei in a love triangle? Count me in! This looks great.

Ahsoka ep 1 & 2 got a premiere in a theatre in L.A., I think just for critics, so reviews are coming out.

CBC video covering the evacuation: http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2255794243571

They're evacuating Yellowknife. A friend is finance/justice minister of NWT there, helping coordinate the evacuation, responding to resident inquiries. Didn't have time to even contact friends and family on social media to say she was ok until early this morning.

I don't know if the fan campaign helped, but apparently Warrior Nuns is continuing as a trilogy of movies. And now it'll be a franchise with spin-offs? The series was ok, not terribly deep, so whatever. It's got it's LGBTQ fan base to float that ship.

I wonder if this will begin to make mines somewhat obsolete for warfare. Also, how well does this detection method work in winter?

No, Phil Leotardo quoted Bobby.

I seen it said somewhere the Gorn aren't even a single species, more like a genus of species, so the one in TOS can be different like the genus of apes include human, gorilla, chimps, etc.

Faile cast, likely for season 3.
