Yeah… No! Extending a movie’s run in theaters is not the answer.
While I do want to see “Project Hail Mary”, I’m still not spending more than $20 for a ticket. I can wait!
And the ebook price went back up, after inching down, so that’s a big No! also.
Who can afford these prices? Not me!

Thirsty car!
Premium (93!) at my regular gas station (in Knoxvegas) has gone up 29 cents since I last filled my car up 3 weeks ago. 😵💫
$4.789/gal -> $50.25
Might not seem like much to some but - Haven't spent that much at one time on gas in 3 years, on a trip north. For more gas!

Actually it sort of sounds like a combination of “White Collar”, and that Robert Wagner tv show (To Catch a Thief?), and A-Team. With a lot of sex.
So not original. Typical Hollywood retread.
I preferred the 2nd version. Pierce Brosnan, not Steve McQeen, as the rich white guy.
Another “Thomas Crown Affair” remake? Why?
A “reimagining”? So other than the title it’s not really a remake?
New version isn’t about a billionaire who likes to steal for the challenge like original movies. I guess that’s too realistic?
New movie is a Robin Hood billionaire instead. Boring!
Panic! We're doomed as a Nation!
Apparently the birthrate in the US has fallen, again, this year. Even worse, teen pregnancy rates are also way down.
Wait, isn't that a good thing? Not for billionaires and cults. Where will they get their future followers/workers from?
The Horror!

Spring! Pollen!
Not a fan! 20-30 minutes once or twice a week to clean the pollen off my car windows. Otherwise it starts t look orange-ish.
Why can't someone invent some kind of dust shield (for cars parked outside) to keep the stuff off? That works with a 16 year old car!

AI Slop of Trump cosplaying as Jesus? He says that was him as a doctor, not Jesus?
Considering how he thinks the military is more important than feeding children and health insurance... I wouldn't be surprised if he had no idea it was based on Jesus.
& Isn't that White Savior Jesus?

Pivot! Pivot!
The toady “media” is busy trying to separate JD Vance from the disastrous policies of the Trump admin. Like gas!
Someone appears to have noticed that being a Trump minion is not a winning strategy if you want to be president.
It all runs downhill!

Any day now…
Expect to see claims in the media and MAGA spaces that Trump was the white knight who saved Melania from the clutches of Evil Epstein.
Why else would she protest too loudly about being connected to Epstein?
To make Trump look good!

Did you ever wonder what it’s like to go from a 1st world country to a banana republic?
Not me!
But we’re seeing it happen in real time in the US under Trump.
Gets worse every day. Not sure an election will fix it. Assuming the election even happens.
#trump #maniac #bananas
No one asked but...
Melania (The First Lady) just claimed to NOT know Epstein or have ever met him (aren't there photos of her with him & Trump?)
So, prove it! Release the Epstein files! The rest of them and unredacted copies of the ones already released. Prove it!

Haven’t printed from Windows in a while. W11 refused to print once the printer said toner was low. Years ago! After 74 pages.
Mac didn’t care, until this morning. 122 pages after the low toner warning came on. Worked until toner was out.
Who prints things? Me! Once or twice a month. Maybe.
My 8 year old printer told me this morning it was out of toner! Been low for a while.
Managed to get 196 pages from the starter toner! In 8 years!
Fortunately I had a toner cartridge on a shelf. Phew! Should last a while.

How to spot deep MAGA in the wild?
It’s all about the spray tan! The goal apparently is to have that orange tan look so popular with Trump and JFKjr.
I wonder how long it takes for your skin to melt off doing that? Like the Elizabethan’s and their lead based face paint, it can’t be good for them.
Need to pay for your Iran war? What are you going to cut from your budget?
Trump "says":
Childcare, other social programs will lose much funding. Not needed
Paying for bombs is more important! That's why next year's WH budget has $1.5 Trillion in it for War, but little for science.

Now that Pam Bondi is out at the DOJ, do the rest of the unreleased Epstein files get released?
No, of course not. There are NO MORE Epstein files to release according to the new temp DOJ AG.
"Epstein files? That's in the past. Forget about them."
How about... No! ⚖️

This, from NASA, is awesome! Nice to see where Orion is on their trip to the moon.

But you know it would be even more awesome if you could change the units to metric, which everyone else (like SpaceX) uses.

Let’s make it worse!
Said no app user ever.
US Soccer app used to be useful. Even as a “guest” user you could at least find out where to watch games online.
Now? Nope! Now they have a big “Buy Tickets” button instead.
Who can afford Ticketmaster prices? Or drive hours to a game?

Artemis watching Orion from Houston
Artemis watching Orion from the Houston control room, as it heads to the Moon
Phew, Trump actually behaved himself when mentioning Artemis II in his Iran status update last night. After a brief congrats and Venezuela mention he moved onto the Iran debacle.
Which will be over “soon” (usual 2 weeks?) and gas prices will go down quickly.
Who believes that?
#war #iran
Trump has his speech about Iran tonight, I sort of expect him to take credit for Artemis II though I hope I'm wrong.
Lots of people at NASA, lots fired by Trump & Co. worked hard on this rocket/flight. Other than NOT canceling it for reasons... he had no involvement but I'm sure will take credit. 👀
The Artemis II/Orion spacecraft launched successful and is now headed toward the moon - sort of - I think it has to do an orbit or two of the Earth first.
There's a NASA blog post somewhere that explains the whole thing.
#nasa #artemisii
Rumor has it that Trump is going to declare victory tonight in his little “war” with Iran.
Is he about to have his very own “Mission Accomplished” moment?
I can’t believe his White House sycophants aren’t trying to stop him from doing this.
Unless they actually want him to look foolish?

When you see someone in a red state wearing a turban, do you think:
- brave immigrant/minority & potential ICE detainee ?
or
- Yay 1st Amendment! Religion!
or
- Voldemort?
or
- All of the above?
#turban #ice #firstamendment
Not a joke!
Guess what the Trump Presidential Library won’t have in it! Anything to read!
But it’ll be the nicest hotel in Miami.
Everyone who thinks they can tell something was written by one of those AI chatbots is often wrong. And AI detectors are often wrong also.
Why?
"AI" trains on actual writing by people so... it will often look like writing by those people.
But AI written text doesl have a distinct "flavor" to it.
Oh look! Trump's new executive order basically makes voting by mail impossible if you aren't "One of his People" or him.
He's telling the Post Office not to deliver mail-in ballots unless it's someone on a list approved by the Feds.
Yes, that's unconstitutional/illegal.
But who will stop it? 🫣
If Trump isn’t responsible for the not-war with Iran, then who is?
Biden! It must be Biden!
Sneaking into the White House at night and using that auto pen to sign things in Trump’s name!
Gotta be! No other explanation makes sense! Right?
#iranwar #nottrumps
I guess it’s a good thing NASA, so far, isn’t being run by those female phobic Christian Nationalists in the Pentagon.
Oh no astronaut cooties!
There’s a female astronaut on the Artemis II crew!
I’m surprised that the Trump White House hasn’t told NASA to kick her off the flight. She’s “taking the place” of some poor white dude! A DEI astronaut!
That would be so on brand for the yokels in the White House.
