Disappointed that Better Man was not, in fact, a Planet of the Apes musical. Judging by the opening week, so apparently were a lot of other people...

Currently watching coverage of the first launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn superheavy booster. This is the future I imagined as a kid!

Did you know? Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy created this stunning 400-megapixel image of the Sun by meticulously combining over 100,000 individual photographs, revealing intricate solar details with remarkable clarity.

I can think of many, *many* other things I'd rather watch. Like how-to videos on expressing a dog's anal glands on YouTube.

This is my spatula. There are many others like it, but this one is mine...

Steve Bannon's just jealous Trump didn't invite him to the prom. I haven't had this much trouble choosing sides since the Iran-Iraq War.

Pretty impressive for a light-polluted area!

Not bad from a heavily light-polluted area like the Bay Area

"To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed...The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…"

The Vegas Golden Knights are my #2 hockey team because I never thought I'd get the chance to say 'Knights On 3--Go!' at a hockey game :-)

Hubble vs Webb Showcasing the Pillars of Creation

Taken from a captured German V2 rocket, the only good thing those things ever did (besides blowing up on the launch pad due to rampant sabotage by Wehrner von Braun's slave labor force)

Thank you for this, especially the free download. I lost both of my parents (my father just before Thanksgiving), my only aunt, and my mother-in-law (just before Christmas) all in the space of nine months. That was ten years ago and it still hurts.

Human beings who want to rename entire bodies of water, find it unthinkable that human beings want to rename their bodies.

Back The Blue (Unless They're After You) seems to be the rule. The only person they seem to remember is the rioter who got shot. Perhaps she should have complied with law enforcement's orders? ;-)

The Falcons at least have their own stadium, which puts them ahead of the Chargers
