Screenshot from the television show "Chernobyl", in which the Communist Party representative directs the people managing the disaster to "Contain the spread of misinformation" by using the military to surround the local populous and ensure none of them leave to save their lives; ensuring the truth of the scale of the catastrophe does not leak to the world.

One of our cats enjoying the Saturday evening matinee while I struggle with the revelation there is more than one Godzilla.

Photos from the movie, "Godzilla Raids Again" (1955), the follow-up to the original.

Working on my own stuffed shells recipe for Christmas. I think the recipes I find online assume a store-bought, mostly flavorless sauce, so they don't work very well for me.

My latest experiment turned out good, but in this pic it kinda looks like chicken.
