Tom Homan says he sent an email to the Deputy AG asking if AOC is crossing the line by providing webinars to undocumented immigrants: I’m not an attorney… maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now

-Nope!
-A microscope?
-Definitely not.
-Stethoscope?
-Not even close! Geez cap get a grip, it's a telescope!
-Damn it Reyes, a scope is a scope!
-Yeah, no.

Countless stars & idyllic vista of space Problem is, I was in hibernation travelling to a star, to be woken up on arrival in 100 years
The ship's AI has woken me up after 59 years, because it got lost 20 years back, apparently, & thinks that I might have a clue

A stop for coffee on a quiet night.
5-0's human partner says the worst thing about is it can't turn it off.
'What's "it"?'
'Always scanning for trouble.'
'I lack a human's stealth mode,' said 5-0. 'But humans constantly scan for reasons to dismiss someone, like just now.'

If there are politicians or activists with a genuine interest in fixing the problems in investigating and prosecuting sexual offences, there are many criminal justice experts happy to help.

I just mention it because we don’t hear from many of you unless it involves defendants of certain races.

Citizen Kane is based on the idea that the richest guy on earth would be really interesting, and I don’t think you’d make that film now.

Jewel smugglers across the universe sought the rarest of gems, the #Star of #Purity. It was rumoured, oddly enough, to smell like manna from the heavens.
Drex thought he'd had it, once. It gleamed, it shone, it was impossible to look at directly--but it smelt like Detroit.

For centuries, the WORM1 portal has been a reliable way to travel across #star systems.

"Hmm, do you know if they plan to implement time travel any time soon?"

#SciFiFri Sometimes, lying out under the stars, the boy would hear the voices of his parents through the open windows of the cottage, the rough bellow of his father, the swelling stridency of his mother, the tones rising and falling like the voices of wild animals in the night.

Sarcastically called "The Star" by some at space corps, his fast track career was ended by a cynical prank - spiking the purity of his rations
Still space struck, he worked as a force's ship's cook
When an asteroid holed the ship, he was the one that saved it

It's the #purity of #vss365 monstrosity that troubles me the most

Out of countless sacked cities, well-versed survivors tell of their acute attacks, acting as one being striking multiple places at the same time, but leaving the exodus alone

They are content with terror doing the rest of their work

The difficulty an axolotl has in trying to appear draconic on screen is that human audiences are predisposed to associate youth with #purity, and so found the little salamander's neotenous features cute, not threatening. Even in silhouette, Didier was frilly in a way dragons simply aren't.

OMG. Saw Oedipus in town last night. Mark Strong and Lesley Manville are absolutely spellbinding. The original Greek tragedy is now a tense political thriller, which makes it very relatable and relevant. I couldn't recommend it enough!!! #ModernTragedy

As the fire burned down to its embers, the father continued telling his tale. Silently, the ghost girl leaned in. She was anxious about whether he’s get the details of her life right this time. #vssghosttales #scififri #SciFiSat
As it's nearly Christmas, watch as the fire burns low, only embers left.

Responses may be delayed due to holiday/family time. Happy Holidays all.

At first, Mary was glad to see her hand #raised rooster alive, but her smile faded. The rooster's eyes were cold and lightless. He coughed, blood drooling from his mouth. The rooster wobbled to her. Slow. Growling. Drooling a trail of blood.
