The Big Brother is watching your every step, your every internet activity, your every purchase, and what's most important your every crime, even as prosaic as crossing the street on the red light. It used to describe only fictional dystopian worlds, but it's now starting to describe even the real ones, like Shenzhen in China. Obviously this deep state lies behind the curtain of conveniences, like centralized payment method, which you praise, as long as you don't get your absurbtly-not-serious-crime fee charged directly from it. Whoops, turns out face recognition system doesn't sleep when you're being careless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydPqKhgh9Mg jaywalker I almost run over the jaywalker, who was carelessly crossing the highway today! turmoil After bombing, the whole city turned into turmoil you know the drill Every time my ol' pa goes to the pub, he gets a drink and... you know the drill.

When I encountered this video today, I was very surprised because it matched quite tightly with what I have been thinking about this matter over some time lately, that behind all this leave campaign must have been some very serious business. However, as I was watching the clip, I was stunned, just in how cunning and malicious manner has this business been conducted. Turns out no laws apply for those who have enough power to make key politicians benefit. It's very disheartening to see on such blunt example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht40yrt3VrY concede Even though I believed in Maduro, I must concede that he is a terrible president. early indicator Grim clouds and moist air are often early indicators of a hunderstorm gloom People trapped in a bunker were increasingly filled with gloom as the hope of rescue declined

When I was little, I used to spend a lot of time reading books, that very often featured people living on cost-effective space stations, but each of them presented the topic as a vision of far future. Now here we are, 13 years later, and I get to see Bigelow Aerospace getting serious about making this vision come true not just within my lifetime, but within my youth. I keep my fingers crossed for those guys, because seeing space technologies like this come to life is a childhood dream come true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nE3UO1kqv0&t=716s&index=5&list=PLDWWUBP0_qxVZfO-CXOnKmXTIHsRU3y7k inflatable Inflatable space modules have this advantage over rigid ones, that their volume can be expanded after launch to space viability Viability of a spacecraft is often measured by cost of lifting a pound of cargo

Few days ago, I stumbled upon this clip on Liam Neeson's confession about him wanting to kill a black guy as a revenge for raping his close friend. As I really like Trevor Noah, not surprisingly, his comment on this case really appealed to me. I agree that it was both overreacted by society because Liam Neeson is who he is, and heartening to hear he was ashamed afterwards and seeked help. As much as the urge to kill itself isn't a behavior you'd like see copied, I appreciate him showing remorse for it, which might set an example to people, that overall racism even in small doses really isn't a mindset worth copying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBy0FLAAwKQ&list=PLDWWUBP0_qxVZfO-CXOnKmXTIHsRU3y7k&index=2&t=0s phrases: onslaught D-day invasion on France was an onslaught on Nazi forces admission Not showing up in the court after being sued might be seen as an admission of guilt bastard My friend - that lucky bastard - won the championship again

I watched an excerpt of "Last week tonight with John Olivier" episode on Brexit. And although I've watched and read a lot on the subject since the vote has happened, his programme made me rethink again my opinion on the case. From thinking that it was a shitty decision of the British people who were hugely manipulated to do so (which is shown bluntly in the fragment where the flower importer says he didn't really think before he voted), shifted to thinking how stupid and irresponsible idea was to leave this decision to the people who couldn't have considered even half of the aspects that should be considered upon taking such decision. I'm glad LWT is back up, I missed John Oliver's unique way of delivering news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaBQfSAVt0s

I do not feel wise enough to give a simple "yes" or "no" answer to this question,  because both sides of this debate have some convincing arguments, so my answer would preferably be somewhere in the middle. That is, I disagree with supporters' claim that possessing a gun would be an only way to protect yourself if there was such need, because even now there are numerous non-lethal defensive measures, like tasers or pepper sprays. On the other hand, I agree that current interpretation of law should be changed, to allow victims to defend themselves if attacked, because prosecuting such people for injuring attacker in self-defense is something sick. Then again, I neither agree completely with the other side. I don't perceive the idea of making guns more available as fundamentally wrong. I believe introducing it in a well-controlled and orderly way could be beneficial for the society, but sadly I don't see any politician I would trust to do it properly,
