Make backup branches. Every time I do a rebase I do 'git branch tmp'. Then diff to that to check you've not lost anything. Delete that branch once you're happy.

Yale political scientist James C Scott talks to us about his new book, Against the Grain, which explores some of the key questions around early agriculture and state-building
In the first 10 minutes he says how it is 'well-established' that hunter-gathering was an easier life than early agriculture. I don't think that there is going to be a 'reveal' later in the piece.

I wouldn't count Wonder Woman - this is the first Wonder Woman film, so it's not a remake, and it wasn't about either Batman or Superman, so I don't see that it counts as a sequel to any of the other (vastly less good) DC films.
