misheard news report

"The coronavirus pandemic was given a deadline of midnight last night to sign the agreement."

That's it for you, you virus, if you won't sign the agreement, you're done for!

Listening to it again, the whole thing was:
"RyanAir, which owns Laudamotion, was threatening to close the Vienna hub [...] The union representing the workers, who are currently on shorter hours due to the coronavirus pandemic, was given a deadline of midnight last night to sign the agreement."

..

There's another news item I've heard twice now, which didn't make sense either time:
"[Trump's] been angered by the speed of reopening in some states, pushing governors, in particular Democrat ones, to speed up plans that he felt were too slow in spite of a spike...."

But I get it now. The first use of the word "speed" meant "slow speed" rather than "fast speed".

I haven't seen She-Ra and the Princesses of Power which that page talks about. But the page also mentions Thor & Loki.. now, this isn't related to what that page talks about, but it made me notice the similarities between the characters Thor/Loki/Hela (from the movies) and Caramon/Raistlin/Kitiara (from the DragonLance books).

I'm not the first to notice it; the Wikipedia page on Raistlin even mentions it:
Hellers calls the twin brothers Caramon and Raistlin the series's most compelling characters: "Caramon is a large, powerful, goodhearted, slightly childlike warrior; Raistlin is a sickly, complicated, mysterious, morally iffy magician. The dynamic feels like it's lifted straight from Thor and Loki, and that archetypal resonance is what Weis and Hickman are obviously shooting for. And almost entirely hit."
