If Kamala Harris runs for CA Governor, it would mean all of the female VP nominees would have ran for statewide office AFTER being picked as VP. (Ferraro for Senator in 1992 and 1998, Palin for House in 2022 special and 2022 general)

The Hojun-maru set sail in 1832 on a routine trip up the coast of Japan. After a storm pulled their ship out to sea, the surviving crew spent decades of their lives making their way back home... the long way around.

I was watching clips of the Matrix films and although those were once former favorite films, the scenes now look so lame and VERY dated, because the fighting looks so ridiculous. The action films of the late 90s to late 00s let their characters fight in a way that is too unrealistic.

#Santorini was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in human history, witnessed at the time by the Minoans, who may have been able to flee in time. However, their writing system remains undelivered. This video covers one possible breakthrough, now thought lost. youtu.be/TOLzHVEw6sk

I think that instead of remaking great, beloved, perfect movies, they should remake bad movies that were based on good stories but did not meet our expectations.

New video! In 1815, the Russian-American Company hired a German doctor to negotiate their interests in Hawaii. A savvy local ruler saw this as an opportunity to defend his kingdom and conquer all Hawaii for His Imperial Majesty, Tsar Alexander I. youtu.be/ywN0Y5hrhhg
