Just seen Dune: Part Two again and was wondering: does Paul Atreides get to pick how big the sandworms are when he rides them?
Like, can he deliberately choose to summon a massive one, or is it just whichever worm responds to the thumper?
I remember Stilgar saying something like, “Don’t try to ride a big one. You can’t control it.”
Reports suggest Burnham is considering backing more domestic North Sea oil and gas production, or at least speeding up existing projects such as Rosebank and Jackdaw, arguing that the UK should be more pragmatic on energy security. At the same time, his government is expected to keep Labour’s manifesto commitment not to issue new exploration licences, so it may not be a complete policy reversal.

To me the doomsday clock is an arbitrary symbol created by a private organisation that has no measurable way of determining whether humanity is 85 seconds or 2 minutes from catastrophe.
My biggest issue is that there doesn’t seem to be any objective scale behind it. If the people who set it simply meet each year and decide whether to move the hands based on their assessment of world events, then what do the seconds actually represent? Why 85 seconds instead of 90 or 60? It feels impossible to verify or falsify.
It also seems more like a media event than a useful scientific tool. Every time it’s moved, headlines appear saying we’re “closer than ever to midnight,” which creates anxiety but doesn’t provide any solid information on how to change it. If it’s purely symbolic, why present it as an increasingly precise countdown?
What really confuses me is that we’re supposedly closer to midnight now than during the Cold War. That was a period where the US and the Soviet Union had tens of thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at each other, came within minutes of nuclear war during events like the Cuban Missile Crisis, and there were multiple incidents where misunderstandings or false alarms could have triggered a launch. Despite all of that, today’s clock is set even closer to midnight than it was then. I struggle to understand how that makes sense.
I’ve just been to my first Odeon members-only screening and really enjoyed it. I was just wondering how often Odeon tends to do these at your local one as I’d definitely like to go to more if they’re fairly regular.
Also, what was the last members-only screening you went to, what film was it and have you found them to be worth going to?
I think he’d be broke asl
If not what do you think is the opinion you disagree most with?
