I don’t know, but I think Rocky was fluent in protomolecule tech. #theexpanse

Good question

This old ugly-faced dude is inundating us with ads promising to agree with Trump on everything. He’s got the money to go the distance, but I don’t know whether the time is right for an old ugly-talker. From where I sit, it’s hard to guess.

For something uplifting, pull up Alysa Liu’s figure-skating performances on YouTube, especially the McArthur Park one. Everybody uses the words “joy” and “joyous” when describing them, and you’ll see why. She had fun, and you will, too. The audience exploded into standing O at the end.

Sometimes it’s a curse to be an early riser, but on more days than not, the sunrise is worth it. The best colors are about 30 minutes before official sunrise. I know some people would prefer to never see it, though.

Wow, this is sort of like my morning, too, except it’s pleasant outside. I‘ve spent so much time on sniff-abouts that now I’d be happy if she’d just poop in the house. Just poop so I can tell whether it’s solid or liquid. [Sorry, but that’s what we’re dealing with.]

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Maybe if they couldn’t advertise, they could stop making up silly names for their drugs that sound like letter-salad.

Why, yet thy scandal were not wip’d away

The magic of Christmas 🎅🏻👦🏼🐯🎁 #MerryChristmas #CalvinandHobbes

Watch the Muppets Christmas Carol and see who Scrooge reminds you of in the opening song.

If an integrated utility builds solar, and some do, their customers get the energy free but they pay for the assets’ fixed costs, including profit. If an independent builds solar, the IPP gets market prices for their energy, which they expect/hope will cover the asset fixed costs, including profit.

Anybody else feel like our over-the-top money-driven political culture is connected with our over-the-top money-driven football culture? Both are exhausting.

Me: Medium coffee, dark, please. Barista: Thanksgiving blend or regular? They’re both dark. Me: Just regular. B: What size? Me: Medium. Back where we started? B: In a cup like this? Me: Just paper. B: Regular or dark roast? Me: Um, dark, again. Like it was 2 orders. I tipped, but only once.

Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt? And for all the little piggies, life is getting worse Always having dirt to play around in…

Clap for the Georgia TD

Triple vagina?

Completely non-substantive comment: When they shut down the government, we call it a shutdown. Didja see what I did there? They don’t shutdown the government. Shut is a verb, shutdown is a noun. Same with set up and setup, and many other words that combine to form a noun.

My mother interested me in Jane Goodall when I was a kid. I think there was a Nat’nl Geog article about her. I followed her in science publications. One night ~20 years ago, I got up from dinner at the Cosmo Club in DC & found myself right behind her. I could’a goosed her. A highlight of my life.

I haven’t heard the words “able-bodied” in weeks. The able-bodied men living off of Medicaid must have fallen off the talking-points doc.

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie." THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

I know I’m not the only person who feels like HGTV is the same show all the time, over and over. I mean, I know it’s not, really, but for my level of interest, it’s the same thing over and over. I call it “The OH MY GAAHD!!” channel.

A line that makes me chuckle whenever I think of it, came in the middle of that heart-rending meeting of Miller and Julie, when Miller has to say, “Okay! Okay! We won’t stop the WORK!” He didn’t want to have that conversation!

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WE NO LONGER HAVE TO HEAR HIS FUCKING VOICE EVER AGAIN!!!

Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United. Repost if you agree.

You can block all posts that contain the word “diddy.”

We’re being ruled by a president who openly admits he doesn’t like to read. He prefers bullet points over self-reflection or real analysis. A man unwilling to engage with the complexity of consequences is making decisions that will shape and damage our future for decades.

Scenes from the soggy yet spirited No Kings rally in Dublin, Ireland, today. We did our part… Excited to see what you do, America! We love you! #nokings

There is a long hair that doesn’t like the short hair For being such a rich one that will not help the poor one Different strokes for different folks And so on and so on … We’ve got to live together. Sly

SMITE!

"ThEyRe FlYiNg MeXiCaN FlAgS In ThE StREeTs" Give me a break Police were beat with American flags on January 6th Ohh not to mention the confederate flag being waved in the rotunda

yeah, that's my reaction too. to me the Mexican flag at these protests doesn't convey "fuck you America" it's more "I'm a Mexican-American and I'm proud"

LAUNCH THE DRONES! The Ukraine drone attack reminds me of this: If you’re not into The Expanse, there’s a lot in need of explanation here. But its beauty is the work of the drones mid-clip. The flotilla’s objective is to turn around & salvage a gargantuan spaceship. youtu.be/1oFwPdtaUSs?...

We got so lucky. Months ago, we ordered a chair that would be manufactured in China. We were told to expect it in, oh, July? We had paid in full, but wondered how any tariffs would be applied or settled between us & the importer. Today we learned that the chair is HERE and ready for delivery! Whew!

I cannot be less interested in the NFL draft.

When I see “would of” or “should of,” I stop reading. [Believe it or not, autocorrect changed this to “would have” or “should have”! So, what, are people undoing correct grammar?]

Tossing this into the ether: I’m 72yo, and was fortunate to be able to delay taking Social Security until 70. It was easy to start. SSA communicates a lot, in writing & in detail. Many people may not be able to understand the comms. They’re not exactly simple, but they’re factual.

Curious… Is #TheExpanse feed a refuge for anybody else? It’s the happiest feed I go to. I feel completely comfortable around people who love The Expanse.

#severance I’m old enough that the end of S2E6 sent me into a stream of Cream, back to my teens. Is White Room next?
