There are actually four seasons’ worth of episodes of “Black Mirror” available on Netflix, but at only six episodes each, the series is just contained enough that you can get through the whole thing in a couple of days. It’s worth it, too, as “Black Mirror” puts a “Twilight Zone” twist on modern technology and human relationships.

*speaking of, given that this was a pre-warp civilization that invoked the Prime Directive, shouldn’t they have let the cataclysm play out and destroy the planet as it was meant to?

Amazon’s goofy send-up of the superhero genre is the perfect answer to the continual flood of (largely great) superhero shows across all platforms. With humor ranging from slapstick to pointedly adult looks at the superhero lifestyle in general, "The Tick" is a quick and funny show for superhero fans and people tired of the genre alike.

It wasn’t supposed to rain on set, but of course it did: My Chemical Romance and Marc Webb brought the emo downpour for "Helena," and the elements simply responded in turn. One of three brilliant video collaborations between band and director for MCR’s starmaking Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge album, "Helena" was both the simplest and the most affecting: Its balletic funeral proceeding made for the best high-concept rock melodarama since Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris were doing feature-film dry runs with Smashing Pumpkins a decade earlier. But for all the elaborate choreography and staging, the most indelible moment remains the curl of lead singer Gerard Way’s lower lip as he sings the final tearjerking chorus – a reminder that the song was inspired by Gerard and bassist brother Mikey’s late grandmother, and thus the video held far more weight than just the prop coffin they were carrying. – A.U.

“It started as a pinpoint,” said Mr. Marcuson, the former engineering society president, “and maybe in one second it looked like a whole patch down there.” Very rapidly, he said, “the dam fails and the tailings pour out and the dam goes to hell in a matter of seconds. And the dam just crumbles up.”

At San Sebastian, on slide 17, we are now collecting the bulk sample of sulfide material, and we should have it run through a third party mill for testing by the end of the second quarter. We currently have oxide material to take us well into 2020, and Dean’s group has a priority of finding more oxide ore.

A great unintentional laugh though was the gravity trap springing open. Like, how many people have gotten hurt opening that thing?!

In November 1961, William Radvany, the meat manager at Capitol Food Market on East Marshall Street in downtown Richmond, demonstrated a new $12,000 machine that aimed to save the butcher a lot of work: It wrapped, weighed, labeled and priced meats.

"Weapon of Choice" predicted the viral video as well as any other clip released in the pre-YouTube era, down to the fact that a lot of the people who remember the video probably couldn’t name who its song was by: Undoubtedly, at least half of the clip’s Internet traffic comes from "Christopher Walken hotel dancing" searches. "Choice" was a good song but a sensational video, one that brings the aforementioned four-word concept to such improbable three-dimensional life that it remains compulsively watchable even after the 57th time you’re seeing the guy who played Max Shreck doing the hands-in-pockets shimmy. The key? Those beginning and closing shots of a silent, still Walken seated in deep contemplation, with only the whirring sounds of hotel maintenance showing signs of life around him, as existentially haunting as anything Beckett ever staged. – A.U.

DLR – downward, long-wave emissions, stems from the temperature of the atmosphere … taking into account, the emissivity, the DLR varies directly according to the fourth power of the atmospheric temperature. I believe that there is adequate evidence of an increase in the global atmospheric temperature, right? That, according to that T⁴ relationship, says that the DLR should increase. Trying to discern the tiny slivers of the CO₂ narrow band emissions, if they increased, strains credulity. Both times, Feldman 2014 (or is it 2015) and Feldman 2018 (with Methane) … Feldman resorts to using a computer model to calculate counterfactual spectra … thus, even his evidence is model-based.
