No one knows exactly how our ancient forebears discovered the secret to making cheese, but there is a legend that goes something like this:...

Our Long Range forecasts fared well. We also warned our readers of a few big, unusual storms that would come to pass: An early-season nor’easter at the end of October and a late-season blizzard during the final week of April (for parts of Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas). Some may have wondered if we stuck our necks out a little too far by making these predictions. After all, who would call for a blizzard just days before the start of May?...

It’s been just over six years since The Wachowski’s smash hit LGBTQ+ sci-fi drama Sense8 landed on Netflix, and it’s been little over three years since the series came to an end.

That’s a unique plot twist that raises many questions, some of which we answer below....

But how did it get this way?...
