Flashback episode to the eggs hatching in real time?

Set in Alaska, this present-day take will center on a murder mystery, new characters, and, of course, terrifying bird attacks!
Thoughts? 👀

The thing about watching an old movie is sometimes you realise that Mr. Burns was right, Rory Calhoun was very good at standing.

I saw two guys carrying a large toy car across the road earlier. I hope a guy on an runaway pane of glass didn't collide with them.

Mmm I hope this doesn't affect the significant contribution that Brazilian film fans make to my number when I make a Tár joke on Bluesky.
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
