These two were my first thought! I'll add that both cover a range of topics, Jenny does do a lot of videos around Star Wars, but also covers obscure films, and theme parks, wherenl HBomber runs the gamut from flat earth to vaccines to video games to plagiarism. Both are incredibly well researched and, in my opinion, offer very fair takes on the subject matter.

Upvote and another shout out for OSW. They initially went through old school WWF, have now covered older and newer stuff from TNA and AEW, as well as film reviews and some video game deep dives. They do have quite a few running jokes at this point, but not so much that it would alienate new viewers.

What are you talking about Shelbyville, why would we want to marry our cousins?

Not sure if you're aware, but your comment posted three times? I've just chosen one of them to reply to. I had a quick search for NATO war crimes, everything I found seemed to be around bombing Yugoslavia in 1999, is there anything more recent I'm missing? Not trying to minimise that, but 25 years is a long time, I'm not sure how relevant it necessarily is to the events in Ukraine.

Firstly, basing your opinion of someone on the instance they signed up with is...interesting.

Secondly, I didn't mean that in the sense of they literally couldn't make the demand, but that Russia demanded Ukraine not join NATO, despite having no standing to make such a demand. Ukraine is a sovereign nation that can make its own decisions, they didn't need permission from Russia. Even the quoted article acknowledges that Russia had no grounds for an invasion, and it's generally in support of Russia's position.

anywhere that follows the rule of law

That's the beautiful part, apparently that no longer applies to the USA.

'If you try and join the group that protects from invasions, I'll invade' is not exactly a compelling position to take.

"NATO expansion was legal but predictably provocative. Russia’s response was entirely predictable, if illegal, and has proven very costly to it. Ukraine’s de facto military integration into NATO has resulted in its devastation."

From your suggested reading, this stood out to me. The crux of any argument in Russia's favour seems to be that they were unhappy at the prospect of Ukraine joining NATO, and thus felt justified acting preemptively. But ultimately, that was never a demand Russia was in a position to make, so any aggression on their part is not defensible on those grounds, in my opinion.

"...amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens."

It's included in the summary, which is taken from the article.

Wouldn't be too sure about that...

The plaintiffs said some of the regulations on Planned Parenthood centers were so strict, “most health centers or doctors’ office simply do not meet” them.

I suspect that's entirely by design.

Going to go out on a limb and guess nothing.

 

Curious as to what others do once they've opened their advent calendar for the day, take the door off, leave it open, close it, or something else entirely?

Personally, I've always removed them, along with the foil inside the door, looks neater and it's easier to find subsequent days. Others don't seem to agree with me on this one though, so I'll be interested to see what you fine folk think.
