In my town, before the Interstates were put in, the county/state transportation departments bought out and set aside strips of land in the 1950s and kept them empty for 20-30 years until construction started in the 1970s. Trees grew in during that time while the land around it got built up. It's weird looking at maps and aerial photos from that time period and seeing empty space. They would have become cool little wooded areas if the highways were never built.
I'm assuming the same happened in New Orleans in the "before" picture: the highway was planned and the land was bought out well in advance, and trees grew in during that time.
Bayer owns Monsanto, or at least its old assets. Monsanto as a company doesn't exist anymore.
Nuclear armageddon almost never seems to happen at night in movies and TV shows. It's always during the daylight.
The only exception I can think of is Threads, where the missiles start flying when it's like 3 in the morning in Washington DC, and even that happens off screen.
These aliens appeared before in S1E7 and they all look like old people. Maybe it's just natural to the species, like they're just born to look and dress like stereotypes of old humans?

When I was on Facebook, I was subscribed to my local city FB page. Every time that damn siren went off, even for actual storm emergencies, people would post asking what that noise is. It got so bad that the city put a YouTube clip of the siren audio on their own website to let people know what it sounds like. But that didn't stop them from asking every damn time.
In my city, the test goes for 15 seconds while the real thing is like 3 to 5 minutes.
Also, apparently they don't even sound a test siren if there is rain or clouds in the area.
I had a coworker tell me, with a straight face, that corporations are socialist because they're owned by a bunch of people who get a share of the profits.
Listen, if people want to buy and drink plaster cosplaying as milk, it's their God-given right to, and the government shouldn't have a say. Let the invisible hand of the Free Market™ decide whether or not it's a good idea.
A few months ago I thought there was no way he'd be stupid enough to dismantle the institutions that keep the US in power, because monied interests that depend on it would have him deleted, sent to prison for real, or at the very least impached. But holy shit the lack of opposition to his antics, other than some performative fingerwagging from liberals, is amazing.
I don't even know what to believe anymore.
Useless old coot.
Going by social media reactions, I'm seeing these street-blocking protests getting praises from both people on the left and the right. I'm trying to decipher what I can by translating French articles on the matter but I'm still not entirely sure what the ideology behind this protest is.
I mean, going against a colonialist government is always based, but I'd feel a little icky supporting the movement if it's chuds throwing a tantrum that they're forced to pay their workers living wages, or can't dump pigshit into waterways or something.
