Darkwing Duck is awesome. Looking forward to this.
This show is easily among the happiest (& zaniest) experiences I've ever had doing voiceover. Great scripts. Great cast. Great FUN!

Now: Let's... Get... DANGEROUS!!!

This would be good. Even better if would be if the US put more money into curing cancer than checking arbitrary male testosterone levels.

Trump demonstrating he does not understand the difference between England, Britain, and the United Kingdom is not surprising. I am pretty sure neither do most Reform UK members.

Not surprising was Burnham not taking the opportunity to correct and educate Trump out of... fear? Cowardice? Demur?

The idea that the US can legally seize Maduro under international law and have him stand trial in the US, but can not touch Netanyahu. Obviously it is a very purposeful choice being made.

In 1971, Henry Fonda played the Vietnam War in a TV ad. Last week a Russian actor took the role.
Nikita Kukushkin, in exile since condemning the invasion of Ukraine, faces the camera: I am war. Help me kill. Don't protest. Don't follow the news. Have a latte on Patriarch's Ponds.

In all the grandiose discussion about colonising Mars, I don't see much about how the soil is poisonous to us.

This was only discovered in 2008. It contains perchlorates, which are environmental toxins here on Earth.

Any human contact with Mars dust? Super-bad news in the long run.

HUGE astrobiology news!!!! 🦠

researchers found an amoeba that broke the heat record for complex life!!! it’s the first-known eukaryote that’s able to reproduce at 145°F (63°C), which is hotter than we thought complex cells could withstand!!

The Israel & Russia issue is not complicated. You either oppose atrocities regardless of who commits them, or you don’t. Everything else is noise. We don’t need protestors, zealots, influencers, celebs, or anyone to tell us what international law says or what is right and wrong.

The Carney Liberals do not have a mandate for environmental destruction, violating Indigenous rights, or quashing labour’s right to strike. To have this mandate, they needed to have run on this platform in the last election, and they did not.
