What do those folks have to do with Platner's history and possible future choices?

I mean Gaiman was surrounded by folks who didn't actually know him.

So, it kind of means nothing, actually.

How the Bay Area’s most bonkers theme park heralded Silicon Valley’s rise From waterskiing elephants to enterprise software: How a too-wild-to-be-believed Peninsula theme park’s move foreshadowed the region’s tech takeover.

"The end of Marine World Africa/U.S.A. in Redwood City, like the beginning, sounded completely made up."

Where I pay tribute to the bonkers theme park of our youth, and how its move cemented a Silicon Valley takeover.

"There were fewer than four attempted terror attacks in Joe Biden's four years in office; with Trump, we're getting four a month. I ... wait, this isn't coming out right, can I go again?"

The words come out

Like an angry stream

Hear yourself say things you could never mean.

When the heat cools down

And you find your mind

Got a lot of words you got to stand beside.

Not so much a story, or maybe just a short story, but I just love Ron Woods guitar on this one. And of course Rod's voice fits the song; I've heard Etta James approved of his cover!

"You know that five to ten in Huntsville ain't no good times boys

But I walked that line, do you know what I mean?

'Cause my mind was snug on that hole I dug out on Highway 17

Saw another Steve Earle song posted and thought of this one.

This lyric is so brutal (it's a civil war song):

"I killed a boy the other night who'd never even shaved

I don't even know what I'm fightin' for, I ain't never owned a slave"

I saw the Jerry Garcia Band play this numerous times over the years.

Here is a rare version by the Grateful Dead.

3 tiny kittens held in a woman's  hands. One champagne colored, a calico, and another champagne.

3 tiny kittens held in a woman's hands. One champagne colored, a calico, and another champagne.

The kittens turned 4 on April 10th.

Here is a photo from a couple of weeks after they were born.

Princess was so proud to show them off. She just strutted back and forth as we checked them out.

They make so much money they had no sense of proportion or what's reasonable.

Folks in the more normal wage range recognized immediately there would not be such a savings.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

Vote no on Tom Steyer. We already have a president who hates the First Amendment - we don't need a governor.

(He is openly bragging in his advertising that the Internet needs to be censored. Manifestly unqualified for any public office he tries to purchase.)

Exclusive: DOGE cuts prompt scramble to feed troops at remote US base The remote Army base is responsible for shooting down nuclear missiles targeting the United States.

We're also failing to get food to the nice folks in the ballistic missile radar shacks.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads:

I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs.
1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702.
2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law.
The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

So much for President Pritzker. Singularly disqualifying.

We don't need another President who ignores the First Amendment. We already have one, and it's terrible.

So much for your reputation as being a constitutionalist, @govpritzker.illinois.gov. This law you championed violates it.

I know, it's done to death but if President Biden had blundered his way into a needless war that then left US service members stranded in hostile waters with food supplies running low, the right would've stormed the White House to tar and feather him

This "Horrifying news" happens every day across America. Women are murdered by selfish controlling men for wanting to leave and they don't care what they do to their own children either. Maybe if every domestic murder made the headlines like this one, people would realize how big this problem is.
