Has anyone else been watching The Blue Planet on PBS? it's fascinating ... especially what's really lurking in the depths of the ocean.
Is this Blue Planet or Blue Planet II?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
um ... I think it's the first one, but it just started showing up on PBS, so I'm not sure.

Holy shit what the FUCK just happened on Survivor.
And since I think not a lot of us are still watching, it was this: a gay man just outed a trans man at Tribal to demonstrate how "deceptive" he (the trans man) could be.
To their credit, the immediate, instant response from everyone else was pretty much straight up horror, but god damn. It was painful watching the outed guy's stone face. He was far more gracious than the asshole deserved.

Brenda, I just saw an article about it (haven't watched survivor since the first season) but I was heartened by how the rest of the folks seemed to react, at least?

That's the only thing that made it tolerable. Probst too - as much of a dudebro as he usually is, he's really good in a crisis. Stayed mostly out of it except to step up to point out when the guy's explanations were BS, and to make sure he wasn't minimizing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That was AMAZING. I was impressed with how instantly everyone leapt to Zeke's defense. I found the whole thing ended up blog quite moving. But also, fuck Varner--that was low.

I wasn't watching.. I've found this season kind of annoying. But I read about it.
And the guy who outed Zeke says he's an ally. That is just horrible.

Sounds like he just stepped up to be the next one voted off the island.

He was voted off, that's actually why he outed Zeke. Varner was on the bottom and everyone had decided to vote him out. Zeke went to Varner and told him he was going to be voted out. Zeke did this because he felt it was the right thing to do.
So in some kind of desperation (I guess) Varner decided to out Zeke and I guess pepole would think Zeke was deceptive and vote him out instead
