Trevor said “Rhysand is Matt Berry” and I think I’m gonna retract my sub. Matt Berry is obviously Cassian.

For all my theatre nerds, this reminds me of "These Shining Lives" or "Radium Girls". Such a great episode guys. The rear dent on the car was enough I needed to know she didn't fall asleep.

As a laboratory technician in Oklahoma: what a trip. It’s a small world!

I wanted to write y'all to mention this case. I was doing some research back when and in the small town in CA where I lived (also related to The Monarch Project, Manson apparently was a 'participant'), but anyway, KerrMcgee is a part of some goings on. Real interesting stuff. ... Oh and my husband was stationed in England (Air Force Crew Chief) around some of the 'strange sightings', and had an experience of seeing a person in a facility that was supposed to be secure, just to tailgate off this post.

With the 20kg missing Plutonium you cannot make a nuclear bom. If it was that easy, Iran would already have one. The real danger is a dirty bom. You can create fall-out by exploding the 20kg with a normal bom. Plutonium raining down a city block. Although it would be nasty, you dilute the Plutonium over an area. Once it rains, most of the fall-out will alsof be diluted in lots of water. Spectacular, but if you can avoid breathing in fall-out, the damage will be limited. The real creepy thing you can do with 20kg is contaminate a water supply. Let people ingest Plutonium over a period of time. That is the real danger. Let them get slowly sick, so they don't notice it before it is too late.

Got say, really loving the video format. The subtitles in the opening is a very nice touch.
