The “Big Bang” theory holds that the universe spontaneously arose from nothing. The God theory holds that an entity created the universe. To my mind, both theories are equally ridiculous, and it’s not surprising that the Big Bang theory was originally proposed by a Catholic priest.

Riq Woolen is a habitual taunter and absolutely deserved that penalty. He was taunting earlier in the game, to the point that I was screaming at the TV, “Stop taunting, dumbass! You’re gonna get called for that shit!” Coaches equally at fault for not nipping it in the bud early on. #Seahawks

If you’ve never fallen from stepping on ice, you might imagine sliding along, arms cartwheeling, and then falling. It’s not like that at all. Instead, you’re walking, and in a split second, your legs don’t exist, and you hit the ground before you know what happened. It’s instantaneous and brutal.

On a TV show about Earth called “One Strange Rock”, an astronaut said, “The natural human reaction to the unknown is fear.” I’m struck by the defeatist pessimism of that assertion. The natural human reaction to the unknown is curiosity, not fear. How sad it must be to think otherwise.

The reason the Borg were such a dire threat was that they adapted to energy weapons discharges after just a few shots, rendering the weapons useless as a defense against them. I always thought Starfleet overlooked an obvious solution: shotguns.

Can someone pls explain to me how it’s ok for a veterinarian to refuse to offer “quality-of-life” or “likely outcome” opinions to help me with the decision to euthanize, but then say I “made the right decision” AFTER I’ve agonized over it without the benefit of those informed opinions? I mean, WTF?🤬

Home from the hospital at last! Now they say it’s a 3-month road to full recovery, provided I don’t get overconfident and re-injure myself (which I think I’m prone to do…I don’t take incapacitation well). Anyway, it’s good to be home. It helped so much to read your well wishes in the hospital! TY❤️

Update #4: Since I’ve been here, every day at 5am a tech has come into my room to x-ray my chest. The 1st 2 of these were so painful that the 3rd time, I pled for my life, until they agreed to dose me with IV pain meds b4 the x-ray. 2day, no meds, & I’m calm enough to write about it mins later. Yay!

Another update: I am ready to get the frock outta here! The docs don’t think so or I’d be home. They want me to poop, and my blood pressure makes them nervous. But I smell like a hamper full of dirty socks. It’s gross! So what if I can barely move? Let me recuperate in a bathtub! Ugh.

Update: A physical therapist came in today. His first order of business was to get me out of bed. He managed to sit me up, but that was so excruciating we stopped there. Now it looks like I’ll be in the hospital at least a week, maybe longer. Everything hurts more after today’s session. Ugh.

Well, shit. I’m in the hospital in a boatload of pain. I slipped on some ice today while tending the chickens and fell backwards onto their metal watering can, destroying it. Had a CT scan a few hours ago. Doc just came in and told me I have 5 broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. I hate ice!🤬

Can any organization be more stupid than the NFL? I don’t think so. I was watching yesterday’s Cowboys/Commanders game on the NFL network (bc I refuse to pay to stream a football game), and what pops up in the chiron at the bottom of the screen? The final score of the very game I’m watching! MORONS!

I would like to wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my bluesky friends, who celebrate. 🎄🎅🎁❄⛄💖

For the more sensitive among you, I suppose I should say… Warning! Explicit lyrics youtu.be/nWqwsjseUrc?...

What is that? 🤔 Wrong answers only, go!

Did you know? If your iPhone is telling you your music is too loud and turning down the volume against your will, you can stop it if you’re using Bluetooth earbuds. Just open Settings and go to Bluetooth. Find your earbuds, tap the blue “i”, and change Device Type to Car Stereo. I did it. It works!

Lay back, close your eyes and float away on this.

Name a song with the word "Nobody" in the title or lyrics...🎶

How about if I'm working on a feature, not a bio? Hey I've got some news. UNBRIDLED won best mystery short in Culver. It's still sinking in.

This is my remix of my dad’s cover of Taj Mahal’s “Fishin’ Blues”. It’s my personal favorite of the Hoke/Hoke collaborations. I added some backup vocals too. youtu.be/w6sFPS0SMKg?...

This one is fun! 🎶🤘🎶 Slept in my Prince shirt woke up in 1999... Your turn, Go!

Here’s my remix of my dad’s cover of ZZ Top’s “Jesus Just Left Chicago”. This is a legit remix: the only thing I didn’t change is Dad’s vocals. This mix features the church bell from the church next the their house in France and my late stepmom laughing. Enjoy! youtu.be/nMhi3p-wXXo?...

Another one from the archives. youtu.be/zdOzEmc9AXs?...

I used to work with a guy who said this all the time. I thought it was pretty funny, so one day I stealthily carried a mini digital recorder in my shirt pocket all day. That evening, this song was born. youtu.be/mOR-BIasU4U?...

What if the Doors didn't just get into town about an hour ago? Your turn, Go! 🎶

Ok. Who did this? 😅🤣😂

I just recently discovered this was on YouTube. It’s my electronic “remix” of my dad’s blues song, Telephone. Him: guitar, bass, vocals Me: everything else youtu.be/IpcznzRbR8k?...

Remember how Mossad never rested, never stopped until they found every single last Nazi who had fled after the holocaust? I think we should learn from that. Miller, Noem, Homan, Bovino, et al. Ever see the movie “Munich”? They should be hounded for the rest of their lives. No rest for the wicked.

Who's in your line-up? 🎶🤘🎶

Hahaha...😅🤣

This is an artist rendering of the interstellar space “rock”, Oumuamua. It is NOT a photo. Photos of this object don’t exist, bc it never got close enough for us to take one. All we know is that it’s long and narrow. It’s depicted as a rock bc most astronomers can’t imagine it being anything else.1👇

Someone must’ve put me on a list, cuz all of a sudden I’ve got bunches of people following me. That’s cool - the more like-minded friends, the merrier. But please be patient, I vet everyone before following back, which takes time. Thanks for understanding. 😊

Hmmm...🤔

What’s your favorite song about the rain? youtu.be/HeO1AQ_KA_w?...
