I finally finished #WonderMan. The easiest thing to say is that it was wonderful, but it was more than that. I've never been so frustrated with a protagonist as much as with Abdul-Mateen's Simon Williams, like, bro, relax and take the win! He was outstanding.

One of my earliest forays into cinematic anime and my introduction to "Fan Service" was #VampireHunterD. He strolls into town, kills vamps with his ridiculously long sword, then leaves town. What's not to love?

"...we technically have enough materials to build renewable energy infrastructure, actually mining & processing them can be a challenge. If we don’t do it responsibly, getting those materials into usable form could lead to environmental harm or even human rights violations."

Yes, we have enough materials to power the world with renewable energy

We won’t run out of key ingredients for climate action, but mining comes with social and environmental ramifications.

Taliban has banned women from seeing male doctors AND banned women from seeking medical education to become doctors. This is a sure fire way to kill women. It’s beyond barbaric.

Moreover, Prophet Muhammad (sa) declared education incumbent upon women AND declared medical knowledge as the most worthwhile knowledge. Taliban extremists ignore that entirely—because they fear truth, justice, and empowered women.

Taliban are enemies of all humanity.
