5 Great Things That Aren’t In Huddle
There you go, another week in the books. Here is Huddle’s weekly roundup of some of the best stuff on the web that you may have missed:
1) “If 3-on-3 hockey has produced anything new about the game, it’s that players have an indefatigable capacity for carrying the puck in great circles about the offensive zone, rather like miscreants spiriting stolen goods protected under one arm while waving a pimp cane with the other,” writes Dave Bidini, musician and hockey’s poet laureate, on the need for the NHL to shake things up to create more scoring.
2) Well this isn’t reassuring. It turns out that airport security isn’t very good.
3) “It’s about a woman named Jessica Jones who was a costumed superhero until she met a villain so bad that he totally screwed her up psychologically. When the series starts, she’s a hard-drinking, piece-of-work private investigator who does a lot of work solving mysteries involving other masked heroes.” Better find some more screen time because the reviews for Netflix’s new superhero show Jessica Jones, like this one in The Guardian, are good. Very good.
4) The largest diamond discovered in the last hundred years was found in Botswana. It’s the size of a tennis ball.
5) Syria is dominating the global conversation, and with good reason. But the mess in Syria, and its neighbours in the Middle East, is even more complicated than you might think. This video does a great job of explaining the convoluted realities of who is fighting who in this troubled country, and why so many refugees are fleeing the chaos.
