Re: What Are You Watching Now?
Got to that point in The Last Airbender where I feel kinda obliged to see it through to the end but I'm not really that bothered how it turns out. The animation remains superior in every respect.

I always thought Sterling and Rucker built better worlds, but at the time Gibson's ideas seemed way ahead of the competition. Have you read Frank Miller's Ronin Svarty?

Re: What Are You Watching Now?
Judge Judy has an annoying habit of calling any vehicle a "car," whether it's a car (i.e., automobile) or not. Yesterday, in an episode of Judge Rinder I was watching, it was Judge Rinder's turn. He used the words "van," "truck," and "car" to refer to the same vehicle, as if these three words were ...

Re: What Are You Watching Now?
There's a new season of Judge Rinder available on Amazon. I like Judge Rinder. He's like Judge Judy, except not an asshole. The litigants on Judge Rinder often speak a very peculiar form of English, though. For instance, the words lent and borrow are frequently reversed, as in: "I borrowed him fift...

Coz killing people is wrong, unless it's an 11 year old black kid playing bang-bang with a plastic toy gun - then it's just a tragic mistake.

Re: Palestine v Israel.
Nicaragua takes Germany to the ICJ for facilitating genocide via military exports to Israel. Are they assuaging national guilt? Seems so. Scholz told the German parliament on 12 October last: “At this moment, there is only one place for Germany — the place at Israel’s side. Our own history, our res...
