We all knew about this trend, but I didn't realise it was nearly so extreme as this:
"Before 2000, for instance, only about 25% of top-grossing movies were prequels, sequels, spinoffs, etc. Now it’s 75%."

I created my Mastodon account 3 years ago today, and it has been the best online experience I've ever had.
I have a bunch of real friends here, a community of lovers of animals, of nature, of art, music, and literature. Of the possibilities of tech. Of food, gardening, travel, and cars. Of fellow LGBTQ folks. And of protecting democracy.
Thank you all. Special shout-out to @stux , who tirelessly keeps mstdn.social safe, spam-and-troll-free, and welcoming.
Weird small Mastodon forever!

Timely. I think it would be a nice touch, to start using horns if people have the time for it.
The Horn-cry of Buckland, also called the Horn-call of Buckland, was used by the Bucklanders in times of danger. The words were recorded as "Awake! Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake!"
I have a vuvuzela kept stored away like an old pistol from a war in case a Protest needs such a foul weapon....
I love the idea, though if something like this horn call of Buckland, being used throughout neighborhoods in the US everywhere.

In questo periodo riesco a leggere con interesse quasi esclusivamente gialli.
Sarà perché la vicenda, se costruita bene, rimane comunque appassionante per cui, nonostante le mille distrazioni sempre in agguato, si fa seguire col desiderio di arrivare alla soluzione.
E Agatha Christie le vicende le costruiva davvero benissimo.

Trump ordina test nucleari dopo 33 anni di moratoria. Dice che serve "parità" con Russia e Cina. Ma i dati del Pentagono contraddicono le sue cifre: Mosca ha più testate degli USA, e nessun Paese fa test esplosivi dagli anni '90. Dal Nobel alla bomba in sei mesi.

E' il risultato di aver un presidente circondato di persone "sìsìsignore" invece di consiglieri capaci e lungimiranti.
Una cosa è sicura: non li farà in un deserto americano. Andranno ad inquinare lontani da casa propria.
