I’m nursing myself through a severe cold. I keep thinking how stupid colds are. Here’s a virus that takes up residence in one’s upper respiratory system, makes it hard to breathe and sleep, and it turns the back of throat into a disgusting green slime.
Why would such a thing exist?

Rubio is the very same POS who wrote Trump’s 1st tax bill. The tax bill that eliminated a majority of middle class Americans tax deductions (SALT).
He’s the same guy who’ll smile into the camera asking you to think “What a great guy!”
Hard to keep up but it appears that we are now claiming authorship of the pro-Russian plan.
Friday: "Sign this by Thanksgiving or it's all over for you."
Saturday: "This is nothing to do with us, some other boys wrote it."
Sunday: "By 'some other boys wrote it', of course I meant some other boys wrote the denial that we wrote it. Here's my lunch money."

It’s entirely possible that this phenomenon is a black hole exploding. Other astrophysicists have theorized that intermediate size black holes can explode.
Holy Cow!!
Another one!

Years after it was first discovered, scientists are still struggling to explain a strange space explosion called "the Cow".

Now consensus is shifting towards an intermediate mass black hole being the culprit.

Early 1970’s a few guys were hacking the pay phone system with a program tone generator. They received huge prison sentences.

I bet they’re still serving time long after long distance charges & pay phones are a thing of the past.

The bizarre space explosions scientists can't explain
Astronomers have spotted around a dozen of these weird, rare blasts. Could they be signs of a special kind of black hole?

Something very interesting:
I place an old iPod flat down in front of my Alexa display device
And
THE IPOD MOVES AWAY FROM THE ALEXA DEVICE!
On its own!
The iPod is on, but not performing a task.
Both devices are on a glossy paper hardcover book.

Ever wonder what happened to Cindy Lou Who?

Yep!
She married the Grinch. Had 2 hybrid who/grinch kids.
Separated
Divorced
Grinch remarried another Who woman who truly loved him.
Cindy Lou went on Dancing With the Stars and was a major inspiration to all Who females.

In the early years of disc recording platforms the developers were going to name the turntable the “Musical Lazy Susan”.
However, due to a horrendous coffee spill, the “Musical Lazy Susan” name was wiped clear from history.

4 weeks ago I had a bout of norovirus. When I threw up it was a reverse timeline of everything I’d eaten over the past few days.
I’ve been taught that the gut runs a 8 to 12 hr cycle. What I saw indicated otherwise.

Musk getting his 1 trillion dollar payday evens it all out.
Massive health care cuts. Catastrophic tariffs raising the prices of everything.

A weaker economy and tougher job market for American workers.

This is unleashing the Golden Age?

At the time of the mass block birth right wing trolls had won Twitter and had begun “hunting libs” on BlueSky.
Mass blocking saved our sanity & the integrity of BlueSky.
