woensdag 9 mei 2018 Midnight movie: John Carter. Tars Tarkas: Mars. So you name it and think that you know it. The red planet, no air, no life. But you do not know Mars, for its true name is Barsoom.

I adore Taylor Kitsch as a hero figure. John Carter fights for Dejah Thoris, but she can defend herself quite well.

Berserker Trump! It's terrifying! Under Trump, nuclear brinkmanship is the new normal. Thinking about the end of the Iran nuclear deal... Trump to take us closer to nuclear war over an affair with a porn star. This morning, Stephanie Miller and the gang talk about the insanity.

Watch a 2015 Iranian docufiction starring and directed by Jafar Panahi - Jafar Panahi's Taxi... filmed entirely within a taxi... in Tehran.

Cool conversation on KUOW. What is comedy really like under an authoritarian regime? Finding humor in hard times, from Soviet Russia to today. They interview satirist Gary Shteyngart and University of Washington professor Sasha Senderovich.

Oil Prices Rise After Trump's Iran Speech, But Supply And Demand Also Fuel Increase. I can read the sign. Yikes! The national average for a gallon of regular is $2.813. The Shell at Meridian - $3.499

Let us return to Barsoom. There, they travel in the elegant solar ships. Say with me... ock ohem ocktei wies barsoom.
