This new season of Last Chance U so far isn't as good.  The coach and team just aren't as engaging.

Was a bet certainly to not play the people leaving has an ending for season 2.

 

The show being so big, new people will be extremely self aware during the show.

Just starting Castle Rock on Hulu.  Was very impressed with the look and tone of the show from the SDCC pilot screening.  Here's hoping the next two episodes keep the quality up!

It's easy to not pay attention to the goings on in New Zealand so I'm a bit late to discovering this news.  I new there was a flag debate but wasn't aware of the resolution.

 

It took 10 months and roughly $17 million for New Zealanders to decide they didn't want a new flag.

That was an awkward discovery for then-Prime Minister John Key, who had pumped the time and money into a design competition for a new flag and a referendum on choosing one. But in 2016, after a finalist for a new flag had been selected, almost 57 percent of Kiwis opted to keep their old flag.

Key had hoped that a fresh design would better differentiate New Zealand from Australia. The two countries have nearly identical flags: New Zealand's is blue with a Union Jack emblem in the top left corner and four red and white stars on the right side; the Australian flag is also blue with a Union Jack in the corner, but it has one white star below that and five white stars to the right. The two flags look so similar that they are occasionally mixed up, and were apparently even swapped for each other at an Olympic medal ceremony in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
