London, 1944: Clara Button is no ordinary librarian. While war ravages the city above her, Clara has risked everything she holds dear to turn the Bethnal Green tube station into the country’s only underground library.

Where do you think Kunsel would be from? Where was he born and/or raised? How many languages can he speak(has he ever confused everyone in a room by speaking a dead language that no one had heard before)??

He's a bonafide city rat born and raised in Midgar, but I like to headcanon him as having north continent blood (i.e. Icicle Inn or Bone Village, maybe even Modeoheim?); growing up speaking the native language at home with his parents, the ffvii universe's version of North Germanic languages. Think Norwegian or Swedish, etc. But he's a bit rusty and he speaks with a Midgar accent.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E166 Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your source for the latest space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and we've got an exciting episode lined up for you today. We'll be exploring some fascinating developments in the world of space and Astronomy that are sure to captivate your imagination. Highlights: - Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas): Astronomers are eagerly tracking this comet, which could shine as brightly as the North Star this fall. Discovered in early C/2023.A3, it's captured the attention of both professional astronomers and space enthusiasts. If it survives its close encounter with the sun on September 27, it could rival the spectacular Comet McNaught of 2007. - ESA's Luna Facility: The European Space Agency and German Aerospace Center have unveiled Luna, a lunar analog facility near Cologne, Germany. This 700-square-meter hall filled with simulated lunar regolith will provide crucial training for future astronauts, including those in NASA's Artemis program. - NASA Artemis II Crew in Iceland: NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen have been undergoing geology field training in Iceland. This unique landscape closely resembles the lunar surface, helping the crew prepare for the challenges of lunar exploration. - China's Sea Launch of Smart Dragon-3: China successfully launched the Smart Dragon-3 rocket from a floating platform, carrying eight remote sensing satellites into sun-synchronous orbit. This sea-based launch demonstrates flexibility and could open up new possibilities for future missions. - Potential for Life on Venus: Recent research suggests that some of life's fundamental building blocks might survive in Venus's harsh environment. Scientists discovered that certain lipids can withstand exposure to concentrated sulfuric acid, challenging our assumptions about the solvents necessary for life. - Revolutionary Space Propulsion: Scientists are testing a new propulsion system known as Super Mag Drive, which could use any type of metal as fuel. This technology could allow spacecraft to refuel by harvesting minerals from asteroids or distant moons, opening up new frontiers in space exploration.

Bill German: And what would Charlie Watts say [about Rocket 88]?

Stu: If you ask Charlie about it, he'll say, "Well, the Stones is a good band and this is a good band." He likes playing in good bands. You can't compare the two. Don't invent comparisons. Because if you print that Charlie prefers playing with us, you're wrong. He likes playing in good little bands. He would've been quite happy to play in that bloody Barbarians thing if it hadn't turned into such bullshit.
