Tom, buddy. I love your work, you’re a great writer.

But unclench, it’s just a plot device.

If you can take onboard the premise of an alien virus and the joining of global consciousness, then you can accept a minor misrepresentation of the blast radius of a fictional hand grenade.

Roll with it.

Beautiful tree, well done. And congratulations on finding a tree taller than Bob (I’m guessing).

When Dhani Harrison realised his dad was in The Beatles In Martin Scorsese's 2011 George Harrison documentary, Dhani Harrison revealed his earliest memories and the moment he realised his dad was one of The Beatles.

Yeah. How could he not?

My favorite Dhani factoid is that as a kid he didn't know that his father was a musician, let alone a former Beatle.

"β€˜Why didn’t you tell me you were in The Beatles?’ And he said, β€˜Oh, sorry. Probably should have told you that.’"

🎢 I don't know why-y-y, nobody told you.

Absolutely. This is amazing and one for the ages.

No other performer could step forward and eclipse everyone else on stage like that. When Prince cranks it up, they all recede into the background. And they're all loving it.

And George would've loved it too.

Prince was a unique, awesome talent.

Pluribus is a 600-Year-Old LIE (and Twilight Zone proves it)
YouTube video by Poggy Pluribus is a 600-Year-Old LIE (and Twilight Zone proves it)

Interesting theory about what the AppleTV sow Plur1bus is really all about, as of Episode 3.

Trump is such a pathetic jock sniffer.

He's a beta cuck who instinctively responds submissively to the alpha dog.

Also probably deeply closeted.

Wasn't there talk of MTG running for governor of Georgia? She may want to distance herself from Trump now so as not to be associated with his stink in her upcoming campaign.

Or maybe she got a juicy lobbyist offer to shut her up.

Or maybe she's a vindictive psycho who will π—»π—Όπ˜ be ignored.

I think MTG wants to spent more time with her stock portfolio.

Yeah, Mamdani learned just how easy it is to manipulate Trump.

He didn't even need to bring any gold.

A lie. Like everything else that comes out of this White House.

Give him a pudding cup and tell him it's nap time.

And change his diaper.

With apologies to Urkel

I investigated myself and determined that I did nothing wrong.

Next question.

Jeepers, that's unnerving.

Be careful, Kat. No all Jesus-y Republicans are harmlessly praying for your soul like Holy Water Lady. A lot of them love their guns as much as they love anti-liberal Jesus. And that gives them ideas.

Stay safe, keep bringing it, and good luck with your campaign.

They have GOT to do some sort of mother/daughter diva sketch, which ends in a glorious, rafter-rattling power duet.

If Gerardo, big bad ICE agent, went to Home Depot in plain clothes to buy a new bathroom faucet, he'd probably be detained, pepper-sprayed and zip-tied by ICE in the parking lot.

OK, fair enough. I didn't know that she'd been diagnosed before Voyager, my apologies.

I didn't say that she would have been difficult, I meant that she had gained that reputation prior to being diagnosed.

I'm a Patty Duke fan and meant no disrespect. She was very talented.
