@titusw24.bsky.social We lost another great actor, Robert Duvall. First remember him in THX 1138. Incredible list of great acting performances over his 95 year run.

@sirbenfro.bsky.social A little bit of my handy work tonight I call this: Truth, Justice, and the American Wait

@sirbenfro.bsky.social Truth, Justice, and the American Wait.

@drstevenhobbs.bsky.social Truth. Justice, and the American wait.

@titusw24.bsky.social Bud Cort has left the stage. He was so good. Need to rewatch Harold and Maude, Brewster McCloud. Fly high, sir. You will be missed and remembered.

@sirbenfro.bsky.social Found this when looking to test my new Dolby Atmos sound system. Don’t know if you are a fan of Mike Oldfield, but this is an amazing performance of Tubular Bells for its 50 year anniversary, at the UAB in Barcelona at ALBA Synchrotron. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿?😏 Hope U enjoy youtu.be/8Wv3oDeO3Mo

@titusw24.bsky.social Just installed my new Dolby Atmos system and tested it with this amazing performance of Tubular Bells for the 50th anniversary. Superb performance by UAB at the ALBA Synchrotron in Barcelona. Just sharing. Looking forward to your return on Ballard S2. youtu.be/8Wv3oDeO3Mo

Testing out my new Dolby Atmos system with an amazing recording of the Brandenburg Concertos by Netherlands Bach Society. It’s bordering on a spiritual experience. 😊 Douglas Adam’s Dirk Gently described the Brandenburgs as ‘the music of the clear light’. I agree, even if Adams was just being snarky.

@drstevenhobbs.bsky.social @sirbenfro.bsky.social You may not forget where you put your keys all the time, But when you do…

@sirbenfro.bsky.social Ghost of the past

Have you ever seen such a smiley frog?! #frog

@James Oswald Just an hour ago my oldest daughter added a new addition to the clan. Welcoming, Sterling, to our kin, second grandson.

@titusw24.bsky.social We lost the great actor Graham Greene today. Many great film roles and he was so funny as the explosives guy in The Red Green show. Great comic timing.🙏🏼💔

@sirbenfro.bsky.social Given all the social and economic issues facing our country, it’s so encouraging to see that our government can bring its full weight to bear on the crisis of a restaurant chain changing its branding image.🤷‍♂️

@sirbenfro.bsky.social A US company is developing networked autonomous, unmanned fighter jets.

@drstevenhobbs.bsky.social They are building a new immigration detention center in Nebraska. It is being referred to as a work ethic center. “Arbeit Macht Frei” 😱

@titusw24.bsky.social Sadly, Loni Anderson, who played Jennifer on WKRP in Cincinnati, has passed. I always was amused by how Jennifer quietly kept the station running and dealt with problems and people. That self-assured confidence and cleverness along with her beauty.

The folks at Garrison Brothers Distillery in Texas are turning a release party Saturday for their new #Bourbon into a fundraiser for Hill Country flooding victims...please support them if you can. www.garrisonbros.com/2025/07/07/s...

@drstevenhobbs.bsky.social On Star Talk, I recently heard this saying: ‘The plural of anecdote is not data.’ A lesson social media fails to grasp.

@drstevenhobbs.bsky.social In LA. Going to see special screening tonight of Forbidden Planet. Roger and out.🛸

@sirbenfro.bsky.social Just arrived: a 15 year old Single Farm Estate Daftmill cask strength, from the Kingdom of Fife. Looking forward to this one. I’m taking a wild guess that you’re familiar with this distillery.😏

@drstevenhobbs.bsky.social You are someone that would appreciate this. My wife and I are flying to LA for a few days to see the premier showing of a fully restored DP version of Forbidden Planet. I saw the announcement and said let’s go. VERY spontaneous for me. I’m think I’m ready to retire.😏

Fire beasts fighting

@sirbenfro.bsky.social The coos are loose. 😏 Maybe they need to bring in a coo wrangler from Fife? www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Musk found the ALGORITHM to change vote count in swing states. TRUMP can't do nothing but play bitch for Musk. Or he let's the cat out of the bag.

Egg, gas and grocery prices are surging all around the United States which is odd because we were all told by a fraudulent failed businessman that tariffs would magically lower the prices for everything and that the world would greatly benefit from vindictive trade wars. 🧐

“NASA, which is currently led by a woman, doesn't want its websites to mention women in leadership. The space agency is being quite thorough in its compliance with President Donald Trump” My NASA pioneer dad is rolling in his grave 😭 www.chron.com/news/space/a...

@kellyian.bsky.social Welcome to Blue Sky. Hope you are do well and you have good news. Been an eventful three day for me. Close in-law had appendicitis and they triaged her and didn’t operate that night. Appendix burst. Now has to take antibiotics through IV. Wish they had just removed it.

@kellyian.bsky.social Welcome to Blue Sky, Kelly. Things are calmer and kinder over here, at least for now. It works a little differently than Twit, but many friends have moved here. Glad things are going well. I share more today on our ongoing projects. You’re spot on about losing my little pal.

@sirbenfro.bsky.social I mentioned that I liked Ed McBain novels to my friend who owns a bookstore. He gave me a stack of used McBain novels I had never read before. This year’s reading all sorted now. I’ll leave room for DI McLean #14, though.😊

@sirbenfro.bsky.social Happy belated Burns Night. We listened to The Address to the Haggis again and made our toast to Rabbie Burns. Unfortunately, Aldi was a bit short on haggis so I settled for leg of lamb. I miss real haggis, but at least this was a sheep. 😏 Sláinte mhath 🥃

Already Following. And this is the re-post.

@margh15.bsky.social Watched first two episodes of Day of the Jackal. Excellent performance by Eddie Redmayne. Very convincing in the role. Thanks for suggesting that.

@margh15.bsky.social Cheers, Marguerita. Good to see you over here with the Bosch flock.

Two things that once they flip, flip really quickly : Democracies Social networks So rare to get both at once !

@sirbenfro.bsky.social Hello, James. Moved from Twit. Was Highland Hill. Hopefully the ads and nonsense won’t follow me here.
