If you like trains, you should watch this. They've even chosen the right background music.

Love this. The BBC filmed the London to Brighton train ride in 1953, 1983 and 2013. Then edited them side by side for this interesting video.

Those who for inexplicable reasons do not understand German may want to look up the lyrics translation here:

And btw, Debbie Smith, this is a real 18+ song ("indexed" in Germany). Not just a video, the song itself! (Die Aerzte have so many 18+ songs, they made a whole CD full of them.)

I had posted a link to the B5 film "In the Beginning" earlier.

I had posted a link to the B5 film "In the Beginning" earlier. The film is full of impressive scenes, and this is one of the really remarkable ones. When a political leader asks soldiers to go into battle, it is usually done with a motivational speech dripping of heroism and patriotism and all, one that often contains more lies than truths.

This speech is different.

I had been looking for a trailer or some representative clip to show someone, but then stumpled upon the full film: "In the Beginning", IMHO the best of the Babylon 5 feature films, the film that fills many gaps the series left open.

So if you want to see some amazing SF, here you go:

Hello new Circlists!

Hello new Circlists!

Yes, I am especially talking to all those who circled me after Richard Green claimed I (among others) would be an "engager". (Not sure if I was shared in any other circles, squares or triangles.)

Well, I am, somehow. I prefer to interact with people, not just "follow" them. Which also means I am not interested in "followers" - I am not a celebrity and have no plans to become one.

I circle people I find interesting, people posting things that interest me, or people who interact with me. If you expect me to circle you back, there should be some "chemistry" (physics may be fine too) between us, meaning you and I should have some common interest. (I hope that was the reason you circled me in the first place. If not, I don't mind if you uncircle me now.)

I plus what I like and also comment a bit. You might want to do the same, because then I may notice that you are not just a "follower", but an actual human being with interests. OK, I admit it is not easy to plus my posts or comment on them, because I do not post a lot publicly these days.

So please don't be too disappointed that I haven't circled you back, but at the moment I feel rather like a sect that has just broadcasted their new ad and is now enjoying its success.

I think, therefore...
