So the new Doctor Who seems really, really good? It's a little early to see how the plot shakes out, but Jodie Whittaker is fantastic, and it's absolutely gorgeous, with a scifi fairy tale aesthetic, and a cast of companions with all sorts of potential.

A friend just pointed out that Nimrod probably became an insult when bugs bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd that. It means "great hunter"

"I come from the future," the stranger said.
"Are you here to warn us?"
"The scientists of this age warn you. Thank you for listening."

uspol, voting
Voter registration deadlines are coming up rather quickly. If you think you're already registered to vote, double-check & make sure, because voter registration purges are actually happening.
If your response is, "If voting actually changed anything, they'd make it illegal," then everything every state has done since Shelby County v. Holder (gutting the VRA) should assure you: It does, & they are.
Or don't vote, young people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0e9guhV35o

We all know Han shot first, but I'm curious as to who - in all the lore and extended universe and canon that Disney says isn't canon - of Star Wars, was the very first person to have fired a weapon.

@regal If you have the energy/will, sure. I mean, it probably won't matter, but then again I've been wrong a lot of times about politics about what happens. They're terrible people, but they do want to get reelected. Might as well call and be counted as a check mark in the "no" column of their calls spreadsheet or whatever, you don't need to make an actual argument for the call to count.
@ziphi Over three days, with the match being suspended due to darkness, twice!
They outlasted the on-court scoreboard (which broke at 47-47 in the fifth set) and the online scoreboard (which lasted until 50-50)!
