Oh God Sam’s ex Steve triggers my fight or flight. I get so upset whenever he comes home, there’s something so wrong and dangerous about him. And the way Sam feels weaker and softer in his presence like she’s 15 again

Thinking about the ER (1994-2009) babies and I thought I'd calculate how old they would be by now and make myself feel really ancient.
Rachel Greene, Mark Greene's hellspawn of a daughter, was born around 1989 and would now be at least 34.
Alex Taggart, Samantha Taggart's son: assuming he was born in 1993, he would now be 32(!)
Susan "Little Susie" Lewis, niece of Susan Lewis, born in the memorable classic episode Motherhood in May of 1995, would now be....almost 30. I am going to hope she survived a childhood of being raised by a Kathleen Wilhoite character with her sanity half intact and maybe eventually went to live with Aunt Susan.
Reese Benton, assumed son of Peter Benton, born in May of 1997: he would now be almost 28. I am going to assume he had a stable childhood.
Carlos, adopted son of Jeanie Boulet: he was an infant in the fall of 1999, so he would be 26 if he were still alive. He was HIV + and was already showing signs of an AIDS infection by 2008 when we last saw him.
Theresa "Tess" Ross and Katherine "Kate" Ross, daughters of Doug Ross and Carol Hathaway, were born in November 1999, and would now be 25. They were raised in Seattle, so it is a near certainty at least one of them will end working at Grey Sloan Memorial.
Michael, son of Jing Mei Chen, born in December 2000 and surrendered for adoption: he would now be 24 and hopefully reconnected his birth mom at some point.
Ella Greene, daughter of Mark Greene and Elizabeth Corday, born in the spring of 2001, would now be around 23.
Henry Lopez, Kerry Weaver's son, was born in January 2004. He would now be 21.
John Carter's son Joshua Carter was stillborn in May 2004. Had he lived, he would be almost 21.
Cosmo, Susan Lewis's son, was born sometime in mid 2004. He would now also be almost 21.
The last ER baby was Abby Lockhart and Luka Kovac's son Joe Kovac, who was born in May 2006. He would now be almost 19. Best of luck to that kid. He really needed it.

Atlas Shrugged: Part II (2012)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
Die-hard fans of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged might have enjoyed the 2011 film adaptation. Everyone else clearly found it to be a tremendous bore. Critics panned it and the movie failed to earn even a quarter of its $20 million budget in ticket sales. Despite this, Either Or Productions made Atlas Shrugged: Part II: a film that’s just as dull as its predecessor, but with half the money. The best thing I can say about this sequel is that while none of the actors return, at least the screenplay makes it pretty easy to figure out who is who without any of the dialogue sounding clunky.
Despite the success of the John Galt Line, Taggart Transcontinental railroad Vice-President Dagny Taggart (Samantha Mathis) and Henry Rearden (Jason Beghe) face new challenges. Ellis Wyatt set his oil fields ablaze before vanishing. To make things worse, the U.S. Government has enacted a "Fair Trade” law, which forces Rearden to sell to all buyers at the same price. Rearden doesn’t want to do business with the Science Institute after they nearly bankrupted him with their false claims that his metal was unsafe. Meanwhile, the country’s brightest minds continue to disappear, leading to one question “Who is John Galt”?
We’ve all seen movie franchises recast some characters at one point. It was a much more common in the 90s (I’m thinking of all the actors who played Batman as an example). I’ve never even heard of a series that had all of its cast jump ship a mere one year later. It’s the first sign that Part II is in trouble. The second is the dialogue. This film by John Putch is interested in pushing an agenda. To do this, it contorts itself in a pretzel from which no one could ever escape.
I know all films, particularly those in the science fiction category, require a certain suspension of disbelief. It isn’t fair to question all aspects of the story's world because the movie’s “got to happen”. This time, I can’t help myself. In my defense, the movie isn’t selling its world very well. Atlas Shrugged is set only a few years in the future but the people in it don’t behave like anyone in the 21st century would.
It would be difficult for anyone to care about the story's big conflict unless they were exactly like Henry Rearden: someone who only cares about making money. After refusing to sell his Rearden Metal/Rearden Steel to the government, he's put on trial. Technically, he’s only accused of defying the “Fair Trade” law, but everyone inside and outside the movie knows the truth. His first crime is owning a monopoly on Rearden Metal, which might have you wondering “Does this movie know what a monopoly is?” There’s nothing stopping people from using other construction materials on their projects. He’s the only one making Rearden Metal… just as McDonald’s is the only restaurant selling Big Macs. His second crime is making more Rearden Metal than everyone. I think what the film means to say is that he is making metal in greater quantities than any other factory. Screenplay writers Duke Sandefur, Brian Patrick O’Toole and Duncan Scott must be trolling us. Otherwise, they think we’re idiots. Are we supposed to think the government would tell factories to create materials at the same rate as everyone else, regardless of how much staff they have, how big their factories are and what their capacity might be?
There are other logical holes in this film’s politics, the biggest come when the government announces Directive 10-289. It forces companies to freeze wages, prevents them from firing anyone, forbids employees from leaving their jobs, from making or spending more money than they had the last year (I guess if you were unemployed, on maternity leave or hadn’t entered the workforce yet you’re just expected to starve) and everyone must give all of their patents to the government. Meanwhile, there are protesters outside of Taggart’s offices. What are they picketing? Even when the film is populated almost entirely by straw men, nothing makes any sense. At least the performers are marginally better than before. Samantha Mathis and Jason Beghe have more chemistry than the actors they replaced.
Like Part I, Atlas Shrugged: Part II is a bore until the very end when it loses its mind, spouts all sorts of “Profits first. People? Who cares” sentiments and then ends on an infuriating cliffhanger. The special effects are dreadful. The story hardly progresses, making you wonder if the two films couldn’t have been combined into one or better yet, left as a book. At the end of the first movie, I was curious to see where this was all going. Now, I’m heading into Part III but only because I’m this far in and might as well. I guarantee you it’s going to suck and I’m almost sure it will be an even cheaper production with an entirely new cast and crew. (On DVD, April 7, 2023)

I agree with this statement. Also, I’m sorry but you missed Dr. Sam Taggart. She was part of my awakening:
So I have a theory that Linda Cardellini is a mytical entity that comes out of her nest once in a while to help girls from every generation have their queer awakening and she just reached her final form on season 2 of Dead to Me.
Female heterosexuality is now extinct

Provo, Utah - Protest Turns Violent, Driver Shot
Provo, Utah – Protest Turns Violent, Driver Shot
Provo, Utah is not your average place for violent demonstrations, particularly not against police. But on Monday night, a crowd gathered near the police department at around 6:30 p.m. to protest police brutality. By 8:40 p.m. things turned ugly.
A man, a 60 year old resident who had nothing to do with the protest, attempted to drive through the demonstrators and was shot by one of them.

Atlas v rising

The " Atlantic Ocean" is derived from "Sea of Atlas". The term Atlas has been used to describe a collection of maps since the 16th century when Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator published his work in honour of the mythological Titan. He had many children, mostly daughters, the Hesperides, the Hyades, the Pleiades, and the nymph Calypso who lived on the island Ogygia. He was a brother of Epimetheus and Prometheus. Ītlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Asia or Clymene. In some texts, he is even credited with the invention of astronomy itself. In antiquity, he was credited with inventing the first celestial sphere. Atlas was said to have been skilled in philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Later, he became commonly identified with the Atlas Mountains in northwest Africa and was said to be the first King of Mauretania. According to the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, Atlas stood at the ends of the earth in extreme west. Atlas also plays a role in the myths of two of the greatest Greek heroes: Heracles ( Hercules in Roman mythology) and Perseus. CBS Interactive.In Greek mythology, Atlas ( / ˈ æ t l ə s/ Greek: Ἄτλας, Átlas) is a Titan condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity after the Titanomachy.
