Politics: 
Following an explosion on an oil rig only a few kilometres off the Louisiana coast on April 20, an enormous spill is spreading in the Gulf of Mexico.

Greece's debt crisis threatens to spill over, as negotiations about the European Union's and the IWF's loan continue.

Things are not looking good for the Labour party. The UK votes on May 6, 2010.

Pop Culture:

In an interview with afterellen.com, writer Michelle Tea says that a film adaptation of "Valencia" is in the works. 21 filmmakers will direct segments, amont the names she mentions are Jamie Babbit ("But I'm a Cheerleader") and Rose Troche.

Douglas Coupland explained 2010 to someone from 1935 in Penguin book covers ("Fame is a curse").

This is old news but Joss Whedon is probably going to direct an Avengers-movie. I've never read the comic, but it's Joss, so (some people aren't happy though). "The Cabin in the Woods", which Whedon co-wrote with Drew Goddard, is scheduled to come out early in 2011 (I am much more psyched about that because Amy Acker! Bradley Whitford! Fran Kranz! Tom Lenk!)

Talking about Amy Acker, the reason why Doctor Saunders was barely in the last season of "Dollhouse" just started airing, and the least negative way to describe it is possibly that it's an hommage to the 20th anniversary of "Twin Peaks". But hey, Amy Acker!
