Yeah, I don't get it when people say that the trailers look promising. It looks like a mid-tier fan film you'd find on YouTube.

Hell yes! We need more positive news! Good stuff!

What a time to be alive!

I was by the coast earlier this year and there were hundreds of these aggressive bastards everywhere, so I'm tempted to say 'good'. However it is a damning indictment of the state of the UKs biodiversity when even the 'flying rats' are having issues.

Media sites know this, and use it to drive engagement:

And so, negative headlines are getting worse: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0276367

But negative news is addictive and psychologically damaging: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-we-worry/202009/the-psychological-impact-negative-news

So it's important to try and stay positive:

If you want a break from the constant negativity, here are some sites that report specifically on positive news:

• https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/

Remember, realistic optimism is important and, unlike what some might have you believe, is not the same as blissful ignorance or 'burying your head in the sand': https://www.learning-mind.com/realistic-optimism-blind-positivity/

Probably, along with the 43 ancient woodlands they have already plowed through.

Yeah, likewise. There's a shot of the mangled, rotting fish corpse on the sand surrounded in flies and people are just prodding it. Putting aside how bad it must smell, why the fuck would you want to touch it at all?!

Actually, let's not go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place.
