Create New Blog EntrySense8 (a play on the word sensate /ˈsɛnseɪt/, meaning aware[6]) is an American science fiction drama web television series created, written and executive-produced by Andy and Lana Wachowski and J. Michael Straczynski. A first season consisting of 12 episodes has been produced and became available forstreaming on Netflix on June 5, 2015.
The plot revolves around eight strangers from different parts of the world who suddenly become mentally and emotionally linked. The show aims to explore subjects that its writers felt science fiction shows, at least ostensibly, tend to ignore[7] or skim through[8] such as politics, identity, sexuality, gender and religion.[8][9]
The Wachowskis directed most of the series, with the remainder divided between their previous collaborators Tom Tykwer, James McTeigue, and Dan Glass. The series is the first produced under the banner of Straczynski's Studio JMS. And since they are linked...when they have sex...they all have sex...and with each other. Probably the most graphic TV sex in the US.

New Research Reveals The US Cities That Have Already Been Doomed By Climate Change
Low-lying American cities such as New Orleans and Miami will be mostly submerged at high tide in the future, but with extreme carbon cuts, large coastal cities in New York and California could be spared, according to new findings published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week.
Previous work revealed that unabated carbon emissions up to the year 2100 would lead to a global sea-level rise of 4.3 to 9.9 meters (14 to 32 feet). And unfortunately, even if we were to cut carbon emissions immediately and abruptly, temperatures will continue to increase for millennia because of the long residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere and how slowly heat is exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere.
By examining data on topography, tides, and censuses, a trio led by Climate Central’s Benjamin Strauss calculated the risk U.S. cities face from long-term sea level rise under scenarios of unabated climate change (and the inevitable collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet) as well as those with aggressive cuts in carbon emissions.
More than 20 million Americans currently live on at-risk land, the team found. The total area includes up to 1,825 municipalities, including the majority of 21 cities with population sizes of 100,000 or more. With aggressive carbon cuts – and if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet remains stable – more than half of these municipalities could avoid becoming inundated.
The researchers also calculated lock-in dates. That’s when the cumulative effects of carbon emissions commit a city to a rise in sea level that submerges land where more than half of their population lives. If we carry on as usual with unabated carbon emissions, Norfolk, Virginia, faces a lock-in date of 2045, for example. For New Orleans, the limit has already been exceeded.
"In our analysis, a lot of cities have futures that depend on our carbon choices but some appear to be already lost," Strauss tells AFP. "And it is hard to imagine how we could defend Miami in the long run." The low-elevation city’s porous limestone foundation means that sea walls and levees won’t help. "New Orleans is a really sad story," he adds. "It is a lot worse looking than Miami." Under all scenarios, Florida is the most affected state. California, Louisiana, and New York trail slightly behind.

happy new year to my friends known and unknown, from all parts of the world peace.
Just wondering what everyone drinks? I myself like a good single malt scotch (usually Islay) mixed 50/50 with Sprite or 7 Up. My favorite brands are Laphroig, Glenlevit, blends being Pinch, Dewars, and Chives Regal. For smoothness I like Johnnie Walker Blue (when I can afford it) and the gold. Can't drink them straight up...too strong and beside that I have a sweet tooth! Also enjoy Gran Marnier, Galliano, Frangelico, courvoisier, and Amaretto and of course Kahlua
I might be missing something very obvious here but is there a way to download a photo album all at once instead of one by one?
Thanks guys!!
Growing up in the 70's I used to love this show. I remember having a crush on Randy Mantooth (what a name, right?). Did anyone else?
I LOVE THE SMELL OF SWEATY BALLS AND SWEATY ASS ON A DUDE THAT ENJOYS HAVING HIS ASS LICKED
I'v noticed a few times someone posts today..but when i look at there wall it sais they haven't loged in for days..why? or how?
