Big news: Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher revealed they hit their $30million fundraising goal to benefit Ukrainian refugees just two weeks into launching the program as they shared an update to Instagram on Thursday.
It glues itself together with realistic, loyal characters bonded by their harrowing shared ordeals. There's even a believable love story, a flicker of warmth amid the creepy science, cryptic puzzles and trippy imagery.
Netflix made a mistake by canceling this show. Many fans believed it was a publicity stunt -- there was no way the streamer would stop funding this acclaimed, if expensive, series intended for five seasons, each wildly different in style and setting from the previous.
Surprisingly, the ending of season 2 almost works as a finale for the whole series. Still, Marling and Batmanglij have the real conclusion tucked away somewhere. Let's pray they have a chance to bring season 3 to the screen. Someone please hop dimensions and rescue this show from the realm of canceled TV.
Earlier on Thursday, Social Services Minister Anne Ruston announced the government would provide an additional $9million to 83 emergency and food relief services supporting flood victims in northern NSW and Queensland.
'So, what matters beyond the outrage of the fact that this has happened in the first place is to make sure all this is catalogued so when - and they surely will be - President Putin and everybody in the military chain of command beneath him - because war crimes are committed at every level not just the ultimate decisionmaker - people will be held to account for what they are doing in. It's utterly despicable.'
'While people in northern NSW aren't able to work, are still clearing out their homes and businesses, the extra two $1000 payments we're rolling out to eligible families and individuals will support our communities as they start to rebuild their lives,' she said.
From here, the story functions a little like the mystery in Yellowjackets. We don't know whether Prairie is telling her new friends the truth or not. We don't know whether she truly has supernatural powers. To them, it doesn't entirely matter. She brings unhappy, trapped people together, showing them the same kindness and understanding they've afforded her. Showing them an escape.
A Wikipedia-style website has compiled a list of trigger warnings for more than 6,000 books - including classics from Jane Austen and Charles Dickens (pictured left, Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary, and right, Emma by Jane Austen)

Asked if it was his expectation that Russia will use chemical weapons, the premier said: 'I just note that that is what they are already doing [preparing a fake story].
It is a cynical, barbaric government I am afraid.'
Proud: Mila — who was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine — added: 'Over 65,000 of you donated. We are overwhelmed with gratitude of the support and while this is far from the solve of the problem, our collective effort will provide a softer landing to so many people as they fore ahead into their future of uncertainty'
Users are able to search for specific books on the site and are also able to look for different 'trigger warnings' to avoid encountering uncomfortable topics, including child abuse, cancer and miscarriage.
The OA doesn't abide by any strict TV series formula either. The opening credits don't appear until 57 minutes into the show. It was written like an eight-hour film, with a novelistic approach. You don't meet some of the main characters until a third of the way through.
That's right. Forget Marvel. This is the show to watch if you want a rich, existential look at the interconnectedness of all things. The world of the OA is vast and the way it works follows the most unexpected rules.
‘They start saying that there are chemical weapons that have been stored by their opponents or by the Americans and so when they themselves deploy chemical weapons, as I fear they may, they have a sort of maskirovka, a fake story, ready to go.
Scott Morrison told Weekend Today the idea his cabinet has been too slow to respond to emergencies was nothing more than a 'Labor narrative' - despite criticisms being levelled by members within the Coalition.
Prairie has scars on her back and experiences traumatic episodes, but won't burden her adopted parents with her story. Instead, she takes to the internet, finding like-minded friends via the medium of YouTube.
'When you're talking about the investments of hundreds of millions of dollars - and indeed billions now - then people would expect this to go through the proper assessment of the proposals which we did yesterday,' Mr Morrison told reporters in Perth.
The Prime Minister told Sky News' Beth Rigby Interviews show: ‘I will make you one other prediction by the way which is that the stuff that you are hearing about chemical weapons, this is straight out of their playbook.
