It goes further back than the 70s.

Climate change was even mentioned in a mainstream movie in 1958. Specifically, “Indiscreet,” a charming romantic comedy starring two of Hollywood’s biggest stars of the time, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman.

In this innocuous scene, the two lead characters (Philip and Anna) have recently met and are out on their first date. To break the tense, awkward silence during a painfully long elevator ride, Anna attempts to make casual small talk with Philip.

INT. ELEVATOR:

ANNA: It’s unusual for the weather to be so muggy this time of year.

PHILIP: Yes, I read an article the other day that claimed the world’s weather was changing.

ANNA: Really? That’s interesting.

PHILIP: Yes, isn’t it?

———— Yes, Philip, it IS interesting. And you should’ve shared that article with Anna’s brother-in-law, the diplomat! Then we might not all BE in this situation…Philip! 😡

Get good at something people value. You will always be able to say, “I’m shite at a lot of things, I’m ugly, and unlikable, but at least I can __________”.

It doesn’t hurt to be physically active, too.

Following the link to the billboard article, I see the news station just parrots Mike Johnson’s PR statement with no push back at all. Thanks, media!

Burn Notice, Royal Pains

Basically anything made during the heyday of USANetwork. “Dramas” without intensity.

Put simply, being in the right place at the right time, and having connections, can be as important as having the skills and experience.

 

A waiting mortuary was designed to confirm that dead people were truly deceased. To alleviate the fear of being buried alive, recently deceased were housed for a time in waiting mortuaries, where attendants would watch for signs of life. A bell was strung to the corpses to alert attendants of motion. It's erroneously believed that this was the origin of the phrase "saved by the bell", but the phrase really comes from boxing.

 

From TECO: "With the help of 6,000 utility workers, we expect to restore power for essentially all customers in the coming days. Many will have power sooner; more extensive damage may take longer."
