A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been confirmed as that of English king Richard III.
Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch’s family.
Lead archaeologist Richard Buckley, from the University of Leicester, told a press conference to applause: “Beyond reasonable doubt it’s Richard.”
I love thunder, the kind that rattles windows and resonates deep in my bones. It’s proof of our insignificance; that we are, after all, very small players in a much larger story.
Notes After a Viewing of Red Dawn (2012)
This guy makes some interesting observations. I was a kid in 1984, so I totally bought into the original film’s propaganda. Based on this review, however, the remake pretty much reflects everything that’s wrong with contemporary American pop culture. WTF is wrong with the world when an anti-communist right-wing wet dream of a movie from 28 years ago has a more progressive view of the role of women than its remake?
Note to people thinking of writing autistic characters
This is important. As the mother of someone with autism, I can attest to the fact that there is much, much more to my child than his diagnosis. Autism affects his life, for certain, but it is not who he is. Just like everyone else, he has hopes, dreams, interests, hobbies, and so on. Everyone, not just writers, should be keenly aware of that.
I believe this may be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
