I would like to use the word "kryptonite" in my script, but I am not sure if it will be meaningful to most people, or just the hardcore fans of the Superman character from DC Comics.
So does this sentence make sense to you?
"Freedom empowers the people, and therefore freedom is kryptonite to the dictators of this world."
- Yes, that makes sense (92%, 367 votes)
- No, it is unclear (7%, 29 votes)

The Trump regime and its epigones continue claiming that Renee Good ran over Jonathan Ross with her car before he shot her. This is from the frame-by-frame analysis the New York Times did of his own cellphone footage. He never dropped his phone at any time as he filmed Renee Good and then shot her dead. In the one segment of the footage where liars claim she ran over him, this is what the video shows:

Back in 2005, working in an office, this warbler kept landing outside one of the engineer's window. I'd hang out in his office with the DSLR and long lens trying to catch it, but it didn't show up. Finally I showed the engineer how to use the DSLR and lens, set it up on a tripod, and left him to it.
So, his shot, my camera and framing/editing tweaks. 🤓
