Just in Time for Christmas
1) I have a fondness for ships where one character is the grumpypants and the other is the optimist. Also, you might want to rethink that classic question about fighting one big duck or many small ones after seeing what a duckpocalypse might look like. And Hop on Pop animal style.
2) Finished off Hawkeye, though I'll have to wait on the new Matrix as Mike wants to watch them together and needs to catch up on the series. I went into it Hawkeye with no particular expectations and ended up quite enjoying it.
I like the way that Kate spelled out why Hawkeye was important as an Avenger. Also interesting how she and Maya are on the same track at this point.
Kind of ballsy to show up late to your own Christmas party. It was nice to have the LARPers finally turn out to have a useful role in the plot.
I like Yelena's hairstyle. The elevator scene was amusing.
The scene at the ice rink was a lot of silly fun. One really had to turn off the brain though as one after another special effect took place which Kate had had no time to train with.
Nothing that surprising about the wrap up, with Yelena, Maya and Kate all having to confront things they didn't want to know. I noticed they left it quite open what happened when Maya confronted Kingpin.
So Clint and Laura met at SHIELD, eh? But how did her watch get into the Avengers' compound before the Endgame disaster?
Haha, the full view of the Rogers musical number was definitely a Christmas present.
3) Finished posting my series of 2010 mourning dove nest and baby photos on Pillowfort, which you can find under this tag -- just scroll back to the first post.
4) Interested to read about all the companies creating electric planes, most going after passenger markets but some like Amazon developing them for cargo delivery. These are expected to go into production and use faster because they will not have to clear the sort of safety hurdles that apply to a passenger fleet.
However the idea of these electric planes is not only hopeful for reduction of carbon emissions but the possibility that they will be useful for shorter hop flights because they must stop to recharge anyway.
5) This stat leaped out at me while reading about environmental journalism: " While 100 corporations are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions, some of them are still funding pseudoscience and climate change deniers. Scientists and journalists in the U.S. and Europe are now attacked for exposing the harm that predatory capitalism does - a situation not unlike how social leaders at the helm of environmental justice movements have been attacked for centuries for exposing the same thing. Now journalists in the global North are the ones being labeled “too engaged” and “biased.” "
