There are several articles accusing Russia of war crimes on the Amnesty site.
Can I say, it was very fun to animate the curtains opening without actually animating Bonbon at all. It has been great to play around with Claire's artwork.

A plothole is when you see that a knife is missing, and then later on you see a character holding a knife, but the detective does not say, "She picked up the knife." You, the viewer, presumably a clod of earth with no concept of object permanence, are confused.
As a Heavy Rain Hater™ I thought this article was very interesting! I think people's sense of being cheated is compounded by the genre. The game's twist breaks two of Knox's whodunnit commandments from 1929. Which, of course, you're entitled to do. But maybe you need to be a better writer than Cage?
Is this your first time printing a photograph in a book? Rutgers University Press: Yes, but I'm confident.
Me and @eleanormorton.bsky.social read Winnie the Pooh and, in the words of A. A. Milne, "I pity the fool who gets on a plane." New pod in your podplace: linktr.ee/readthat
I went back to check, and It turns out I did use a few bones to control the eyelids and mouths, but it's not fancy!
No lesser authority than the RHCP Guitar Chord Songbook (2005) gives it as "malinger".
Little things bother me, you see sir? Like, when you said, "I'll malinger on your block and give the finger to a cop." Now, a smart man like you, Mr Kiedis, you know what malinger means. So I think to myself, you must've said "I'mma linger." But here's the thing, I played the track for Mrs Columbo

There are Lieutenant Columbos everywhere for those with eyes to see.
I would hazard that "biopic" is a contraction of "biographical picture", and so it doesn't surprise me that it follows the same pattern as biography. Although Merriam Webster says it's from "bi" meaning "two" which can't be right.

Ulvund from the first settlement, the mine owner who is refusing to let anyone do mining. I was a bit disappointed because (as silly as I thought his story was) I expected each settlement to have its own little story. And the rest of them, generally, didn't.
