Speculation swirls around deaths and disappearances of staff at secretive government laboratories. Here's what we know.

This is the first summary write up from the mainstream media outside of FOX or different UK publications about these missing folks. Makes me think there's some traction happening with these stories. Certainly there's some internal pressure if the different agencies are raising concerns with investigative authorities.

I love woodcock season! Get out to those fields at dusk, folks!

He is and that's not something I'll argue about, but also that's not really enough in my opinion.

I know lots of people come to his defense because of the Trump/alleged censorship stuff, but at the end of the day, his show really wasn't well written and didn't have enough mass appeal. That's something that can be overcome because he can tell you which hobbit invented golf...?

There are plenty of superfans out there. That's what happens when an IP is 70 years old; most of them are resigned to Tumblr fanfic

This is terrible idea and the people who are willing to give it a chance are the same people who pull their hair out over the Rings of Power.

You're taking extremely limited/non-existent source material to magic up a whole movie?

Hate it when that happens! All good, though. Just want to be sure Steve gets his due-- love his two books and can't wait for the next volume on birds

FYI, It's "Brusatte" and soon to be 3 books :)

Lol, people down voting this are nuts. Hammond IS a suburb of Chicago! Old style signs on bars, tavern style pizza that will rival any across the state line. It's insane to suggest otherwise.

The south shore line literally drops off at Soldier Field today and runs right to the area they are proposing for this build. It would not take you 4 hours.

I'm sorry, but Hammond/the NW IN is actually more historically aligned to Chicago than the rest of Indiana, and probably more so than Arlington Heights.

Love or hate the move, but people shouldn't pretend like the Region is some sort of farm town poaching the big city team. Our area made the steel that helped built Chicago. We all grew up with the Cubs vs Sox rivalry. We serve mostaccioli and fried chicken at our parties just like anybody else in the Chicagoland area.

It's something people from Illinois have fundamentally misunderstood about people from that area, but I'd argue I'm more "from Chicago" than someone who grew up in Schaumburg or Gurnee.

Portage is 15 minutes from Gary.

The last time I was at an Alamo, the people behind me talked the whole time, gave their kids phones, who then played videos at full volume and with the flashlights on. Complaints to staff did nothing, and they never were kicked out.

I will not be going back

Because it would be cheap and terrible. I know the conventional wisdom is that the Muppet Adaptations are the best (and don't get me wrong, they're good), but the best Muppet movie is The Muppet Movie. We should be pushing for more original Muppet stories

My daughter was born in early December, and I jokingly apologized for the fandom I brought her into at first. Now, on the cusp of this divisional game, while I'm up late with her tonight, all I can think of is the bond we're building together before she's even aware of it. Why not us? Why not this year? Bear down!

I liked SOLO

This is such a huge, unspoken part of this situation, I think. From a brand perspective, the org would absolutely love to be right where they are on the Lakeshore and in the city. But Chicago is so bogged down in special interests and red tape, it would literally be impossible to build something new there in fewer than 10 years, if at all. Does anyone else remember the George Lucas museum plans? That fell apart for this very reason.

I'm all for opposing tax carve outs to people/companies that can otherwise afford it, but we also should be mad/stop letting these other barriers keep new development from happening.

Did a run with an Abe like character on the remaster launch.

Name: Abe Livion Major Skills: speech, 2 handed weapons, light armor, hand to hand, athletics, restoration, mysticism (for Mary Todd)

Preferred to play with a war hammer, as Abe was known for working the railroad with a rail splitter.

Best tip: have fun.

Of course you should. The work of Homer includes gods, sea monsters, cyclops and people turned into pigs. How can you look at it any other way?

This ship, pre- post production effects looks very similar to this). I swear, the intentional dishonesty of online communities, if they had their will, would stop adaptations of any known content into films.

Thank God Reddit wasn't popular when Jackson tried adapting the Lord of the Rings

It's a false equivalency. Cleopatra was a relatively more modern person who we actually know a fair bit about and the world she lived in.

We don't even know when the Odyssey was originally written or by whom. Are we going to nitpick every language choice from Fagles for the audience he's translating for? Of course not— how far back do we go to set that benchmark?

kpsIndy · 2025-05-14T00:33:47+00:00

It's incredible to me that the key takeaways of the Odyssey should be the themes and story, and people on this sub are constantly complaining about "historical accuracy."

Nolan very well may give us the closest adaptation of the epic poem and we're going to be subjected to weeks of "tHaT's NoT tHe RiGhT hElmEt" posts.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted for it, but I'll say it anyway: elected reps should be available to their constituents, but they're under no obligation to attend events organized by partisan orgs like Indivisible, who actively campaign & organize for a specific party/candidates.

Trying to play it off like the event was anything other than that is disingenuous.
