My favorite Viking. I hope he comes back, but if this is it, it's been a fantastic career.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hi, I'm a peritoneal abcess caused by a ruptured appendix that inflamed my internal organs so much so that the dead tissue of my appendix could not be reached and has never been removed.

I read 57.

FBI behavioral science agent.

Jerry Lewis walking around backstage in his underwear before a performance of Damn Yankees handing out and plastering stickers of his Hirshfeld portrait on every available surface.

Chunky Monkey 🍌🐵 or nothing!!

I couldn't come up with a better name, so I'm going to promote Scalzi's...which I'm guessing will serve infinite alien burrito concoctions.

Ditto.

If you see this, repost with your favourite onscreen moment from SF, Fantasy or Horror.

I loved Operation Mincemeat when we saw it on Broadway in August. Artists like this who come up with something so creative and entertaining are my theatrical heroes.

20...perfect score. Because I'm old.

Andor Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Jeopardy!

Thread.

The beloved classic films directed and/or produced by Rob Reiner were a staple of my adult life. The manner of his death, and that of his wife, hits a little harder for me because something very similar happened to people close to me. Such a devastating, profound loss.

Guns. The problem is guns.

🤣 The force is strong with this one.

You may be cool, but you’ll never be as cool as Roddy McDowell between shots in Planet of the Apes. (From Rinzler’s “Making Of” coffee table book - the hardback is at a deep discount right now amzn.to/4a6kstP)

I don’t do Spotify and my Apple Music recap is pretty one note, but this is a good reflection of my podcast listening in @pocketcasts.com.

I'm only at three watches, but this is an excellent selection.

If ACIP chooses to ignore evidence, when it comes to vaccines, parents and clinicians must ignore ACIP and look to those who continue to offer data-based guidance, especially our medical societies.

If I didn't live quite so far away, I'd definitely go watch this.

For Give to the Max Day #GDTMD25, I donated to the same organizations from last year with my daughter's present and future in mind: Open World Learning Community Group MN350: Building a Climate Movement in Minnesota ACLU of Minnesota Donate here: www.givemn.org/organization...

No matter what uniform they wear, armed federal agents and military troops must respect constitutional rights to peaceful assembly, freedom of speech, and due process. If troops or federal agents violate these boundaries, they and their leadership should face legal consequences.

Great thread.

I thought I was done with bike rides until Spring, but 67 degrees on November 14th in Minnesota proved me wrong.

Yep. Me too.

‪10 random things I like 1. Gentle waves lapping at the shore 2. Clear blue sky 3. Reading books 4. Acoustic vocals 5. When my daughter lays her head on my shoulder 6. Godfather's Classic Combo pizza 7. Good government 8. Synchronicity 9. Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream 10. Ingenuity

I dunno, it WOULD be kinda cool to see Mamdani get elected on the day Dick Cheney died.

Same.

Our daughter applied to college today. Three of them, in fact. Regardless of their decisions, "proud" doesn't even come close to how we feel about the work she's put in to get to this point.

As far as I'm concerned, this thread could not be anymore on the nose than it already is.

Autumn leaves.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

Tonight’s family movie night selection was All the Presidents Men. Seemed appropriate. #NoKings

I do as well.

BE STAR TREK.

I haven’t been on a bike ride in awhile because of illness and/or weather, but I got a nice welcome when I got back out there this morning.

This is correct.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

I remenber a lot of these, especially Starlog because I was obsessed with it when I was a teenager.

An expert analysis. Rest in peace, Jane.

Jane Goodall was one of a few people to earn a PhD without an undergraduate degree. It was thought that her lack of formal academic training would allow her to remain unbiased by traditional thought and study the chimps with an open mind. It worked. ❤️

Lisa Simpson: I hear something in the kitchen. Homer Simpson: That's where the food sleeps!

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

I use the Mothca screen protector and a Spigen Thin Fit case on my iPhone Air and can highly recommend both.

New photo shows House Democrats in full attendance to stop government shutdown while the Republican side of the chamber is empty.

Age yourself with a film you saw in a cinema as a kid

I refuse to comment on the grounds I may incriminate myself.

I'm currently over half way through. Another great Scalzi read!
