Watched this apocalyptic show set in Buenos Aires Monday night with my wife called “The Eternaut.” In it the main character, who is around 60, keeps having visions/flashbacks to his time during the Falkland Islands war with the UK.
Last night (Tuesday), talking to my mom who lives in NY, tells me she just saw my nephew (sister’s kid) who is eight. Says he gave her a history lesson while playing with his toy soldiers, re-enacting some war between “England and Argentina.”
Portugal is 5 hours ahead of NY, so we were watching around 9-10 pm here, and she was likely over there in the afternoon, watching him re-enact it at the same time.
We’re not talking about the American Civl War or WWII, but one of the more obscure wars of the 20th Century. My mom didn’t even remember it, had to ask Oliver when it was.
Lot of weird shit going on these days.
