As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for someone's Patreon, go to a live theater performance, purchase someone's album from Bandcamp. You can also leave a nice comment or write a review.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

Sometimes I get jealous of people who are retiring, then I remember they’re nearing the end of their natural lifespan and I get even more jealous.

Xenovember day 10! I always kinda felt like Aliens, for everyone’s pissing and moaning about Hicks and Newt taking dirt naps at the start of Alien 3, committed the bigger sin by reducing the alien to cannon fodder. That said, blowing up this one is was fun…

This whole "James Bond is dead" thing is nonsense.
It started with Casino Royale, it ended with a boom. Clearly it was all set in the Kelvin universe.
Done, dusted, wrapped, move on with the main universe.
