Aliens are possible. 😉
How do we know? Maybe not carbon based. Maybe no corporeal bodies. The universe is vast and our imaginations may not be free enough to envision what aliens could be. 👽🦠

The rampant greed in the Warner Brothers/Paramount
Hatfield/McCoy feud/merger story is so archetypal and obnoxious, It makes me tired to hear about it repeatedly. You wish Netflix would step away from the pig wallow and just keep doing their masterful thing.

Trump bombed Nigeria for Christians.
Are evangelicals the MOST gullible set of voters? Trump is literally unchristian.
Gullible or hypocritical. I guess it doesn't even matter. ☹️
I'd like to hear a reputable journalist ask Rubio and Trump how they can flex US muscles at Iran for brutality against Muslim protesters and not defend Ukrainian Christian civilians being targeted by Russian bombs.🇺🇦 What are the US priorities?

The FL legislature is budgeting $5.5M of taxpayer monies to change the name of Palm Beach International Airport to "President Donald J. Trump International Airport," according to @jasongarcia.bsky.social at Seeking Rents.

Your tax money at work, folks.

I've always been a fan of Mark Kelly because he has such a heroic resume. He wasn't the most dynamic speaker or politician, but his character shone through as sterling. But now he's a take no s*** kind of senator and I'm loving it. 💙

Wow. The TV ratings for this year's Winter Olympics have surged 93% over 2022. That's attributed to more favorable time zones. Also, streaming on Peacock is a new record.
I haven't gotten into it this year. I've only watched the opening ceremony. 🤷
