Airing on MTV allowed the creators a little more creative freedom and for the first time in a Spider-Man series characters were allowed to die on screen and there was some (mild) bad language. With Neil Patrick Harris as Spider Man and Lisa Loeb as Mary Jane it also had an incredible guest voice cast including Michael Clarke Duncan reprising his role as The Kingpin/Wilson Fisk from the Daredevil feature film released earlier in 2003. Fans were left confused because the Spider-Man: The New Animated Series episodes aired out of order, for example the two episodes that aired first were actually episodes 4 and 8. The DVD boxset and corrected this. Fans were also miffed when the animated series didn’t actually tie in all that well with the Spiderman sequel. #onthisday #history #spiderman #spidermanthenewanimatedseries #animation #marvel #neilpatrickharris #lisaloeb #throwback #mtv #reality #realitytv #ultimatespiderman #peter #parker #peterparker #spider #superheroes #journalism #jessicasimpson #cancelled #2000snostalgia #nostalgia

In the unlikely event that the 3 Gorges Dam were to suffer a catastrophic failure or otherwise be destroyed, projections suggest a 6 to 10 meter wall of water would surge down the length of the Yangtze river and reach Nanjing, roughly 1500 km away, in 24 hours. Evacuation would be possible for those further down stream but it is likely that millions would die, as many as 400 million people would be displaced, a large chunk of China’s industrial capacity would be destroyed or shut down and even larger part of it’s agricultural land would be destroyed bringing about a near immediate famine. Though I absolutely love the idea of this kind of world shaping mega project and China undoubtedly benefits greatly from the dam with its abundant, carbon neutral energy, control of the flooding of the river, increasing traffic and commerce along the whole river length it still has the potential to tear out the heart of the world’s industrial center and end China’s ascent to global dominance in a day. #onthisday #history #3gorgesdam #threegorgesdam #china #shanghai #yangtze #nanjing #megaengineering #engineering #cleanenergy #power #energy #dam #dams #damcollapse #disatser #dolphin #extinction #danger #hydro #hydroelectricpower #biggest #longest #concrete #cement #wouldcouldgowrong #river #sturgeon

Credentials: I have played Hearts of Iron III and IV But in all seriousness I've been following the news intently and I find it remarkable how much the narrative has changed in just one week. Up to day 3 it was all: "OMG Ukraine is winning" and now? Not so much. All us armchair dictators and generals need to maybe just chill a little. Oh and if you like a particular story or news source that's all good but you'd be wise to follow that old Russian saying: Doveryay, no proveryay (Доверяй, но проверяй) Trust, but verify. #ukraine #russia #peace

Am I crazy or is there a kind of darkness to them? Now I don't know if Zuckerberg is directly involved in their creation but many of the commercials seem a bit...off beat and spooky to me. I might just be projecting because I am mostly disquieted by things like VR, AI and CRISPR... Thanks black mirror!

A few more fighters and they can start their own league! Hasbulla and Abdu Rozik are back at it! This time they met up in Tashkent, Uzbekistan as part of a promotional event put together by the Bugun Sport YouTube channel which is run by Uzbek influencer/promoter Farrukh Mukhiddinov. And if you’re getting a little bit bored by their antics don’t worry like the pros they are they’ve thrown something fresh but familiar into the mix: Uzbekistan’s own dwarf social media darling and comedian: a guy by the name of Erali

Who is he? What happened? A 3 minute video trying to explain...

...and it's got nothing to do with the Olympics... I first noticed that I was being fed (and was clicking on) many women's sports videos back in August 2020...because I was so...distracted it took me a while to register what was going on: I was being manipulated by channels out to make a quick buck by exploiting the youtube algorithm, thumbnails featuring sexy bodies and my lack of self-control. As I was making this video it slowly dawned on me that this wasn't all about me either: These channels were making cash off of these hot chicks and not cutting them in on the action! Now that ain't right! 00:00 Intro 00:50 Most watched "Women's Athletics" videos 01:09 Lizard Brain Song 01:23 What's going on 03:37 The butt that got 206 million views 04:43 Journey to the dark side 06:15 My obvious conclusion 08:07 The true men of culture 08:46 Final Thoughts #womensathletics #womenssport #menofculture

That's the question I asked myself and this is the video I made about the answers I found... Recently bought a fourth hand car and the door was squeaky and, it turned out, full of leaves. While jamming my hand in and around the door hinge my wife bumped the door and a had visions of losing a hand. The thought stuck with me and being the partially employed recluse that I am a embarked on a gruesome journey of discovery...first looking at amputations, then learning about Hemicorporectomies and finally discovering the story of the latest (according to Wikipedia) successful example of the extreme surgery. As I'm doing all this based only what I can find online it was a bit of a challenge to piece all the particulars of the story together even with the first hand account on Loren's YouTube page there were still quite a few blanks to fill...(also NOT including gore was quiet challenging too!) Anyway, hopefully I did his story some justice and I can help in a small way to give them some more exposure (I say this fully aware that I currently have 0.1% of their subscribers but my intentions are good!) I am not affiliated with the couple in anyway I just stumbled across Loren's story. Learn more about Loren Schauers: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyBQ...

Kim Kardashian, Cher, Dan Bilzerian and others have all donated money to Armenia and encouraged their fans to do the same. Armenia and Azerbaijan are at war. In this video I explain why Kim Kardashian is getting involved and why we should all be a little worried about what's happening in a relatively obscure part of the world. Please let me know what you thought of my assessment/overview! Sorry about my hand coloured maps! :D . . . On the 27th of September 2020 Armenia and Azerbaijan reinitiated hostilities along their border. The fighting has been intense and the casualties high. Reports indicate civilians on both sides are being targeted. A ceasefire brokered on the 9th of October 2020 by Russia has not held. Armenia and Azerbaijan have a long and complicated history. Armenians as a distinct cultural group have occupied the region known as Transcaucasia for at least 3500 years. Armenians have fought, mostly unsuccessfully, against the great Empires (Parthia, Seleucid, Byzantine, Umayyad, Ottoman etc. etc.) and Conquerors (Mongols, Persians, Rome, Soviets etc. etc.) of the world and survived. While the Azerbaijanis can trace their heritage and ancestry in the region back 1400 years to the rise of Islam and the fall of the Byzantine empire. At times they have lived as neighbours and in harmony but in the last 150 years the times of peace have frequently given way to ethnic and religious war over land, similar to conflicts fought in the Balkans. This latest round of violence stems from the the ethnic Armenian majority break-away Azerbaijani province of Nagorno-Karabakh which calls itself the republic of Artsakh and is supported in this by Armenia. When the Soviet Union collapse the two sides fought a war. The Republic of Artsakh was successful in securing its autonomy but the war ended in a ceasefire and not a peace. The Azerbaijanis want the province back and want to liberate lands occupied by Armenia. Backed by Turkey and with their larger population and Oil resources they look ready to do so...if Russia and Iran do not intervene! #armenia #azerbaijan #artsakh

On Battle of Britain Day (15 September 1940) over 1500 planes fought in the skies above London and South East England. Among the many acts of bravery that day, that of Flight Sergeant Raymond Holmes stands out...he encountered a flamethrower at 16 000ft, had a Nazi stuck on his wing, rammed a bomber and nearly died bailing out of his plane. He got some smooches though!

Portland, Oregon (where else?), Proud Boys and Blue Lives Matter held a rally outside Multnomah County Justice Center. They were met by Antifa and BLM protesters. Both sides came prepared for action and can be seen wielding shields, batons, mace/pepper spray and hurling objects. Both sides also had paintball guns BUT things appear to escalated dramatically when a PB/Blue Lives protester (resembling Judge Dredd 2:53) pulled what appears to be a real pistol (though possibly an antique?). After an initial, successful charge at Antifa the PB line was pushed back and they eventually retreated, harried as they left (4:11 notice BLM/Antifa dude in white shirt is holding a knife) with some more scuffles happening in a parking lot. The Feds were then seen clearing the park of Antifa/BLM, who accused them of siding with the Proud Boys. Shout out to old hippie dude eating a taco/hotdog as the riot begins (0:45) Clips ripped from twitter (@MrAndyNgo & @GriffinMalone6) compiled in what I believe is chronological order and set to Iron Maiden's The Trooper. Having issues with export settings on Premier Pro...even the graphics look pixelated which shouldn't be the case. #portland #proudboys #antifa #riot #streetfight
