The opposite is horrendous! The worst (college) hockey game I ever watched was where they had permission for the camera feed with video but no audio. They filled the silence with two commentators' emotionless play calling. Every goal lacked the crowd cheers or any excitement. I fell asleep. 🤷

Scam account be gone.
I nominated Tiny Bookshop in quite a few categories. Highly recommend it if you want a cozy, low-stress business sim about running a mobile bookstore. Charming side stories, a cohesive art style, and a really soothing vibe.

It was funny when a person started requesting quotes using my email. I laughed it off thinking they got a new Gmail address and forgot the spelling. Now I'm getting their employee's tax information.
Alicia Smith of North East Texas Luxury RV Resort, your boss doesn't know their email. Sorry. 🤷

Having a great time in Iceland!

Photo of a turkey taken in Oviedo Florida from a distance.
Get a load of this turkey!
The other four Osceola turkeys I spotted bailed on the photoshoot before I could snap a picture. It's always fun staying at a house against a nature conservation area and seeing the wildlife wander into view.

Velma was nicely animated, but the rest was just bad. I felt the audience expected it to stay related to the source material, and honestly it was so far removed it turned a lot of people away.
The humor wasn't there. The writing felt poor, too juvenile at times, while also trying hard to be edgy. 🤷
My "future" looks horrifying! Always a roll of the dice, but Spaceship Earth at EPCOT spectacularly botched our faces yet again. 😂
My ride partner? Headless. Me? Large random chunks of face missing. Disney magic, I guess! ✨🎢 #EPCOT #SpaceshipEarth #DisneyWorld
Grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park.
I heard you can pet them once, but only once.
Please don't do that.
First day in Yellowstone was great!

Delia, are you claiming to be Ekaterina Raskova who posted this picture over a year ago?

Photo of a Barred Owl sitting on top of a street light in Orlando Florida.
Love seeing nature during my night runs! I believe this is a common Barred Owl. It swooped past me before perching on top of the streetlight. 🦉
Now I'm just trying to figure out where they dropped my invite to Hogwarts. 👀🤞

What a match today! Witnessing Wrexham AFC make history with back-to-back-to-back promotions — something no other club has done in EFL history — was incredible. Can’t wait to see how it’s covered in the show this summer! ⚽ 🥳 #WxmAFC

A Honda Accord odometer showing 200,000 total miles and 48.6 miles on the current trip.
Just hit 200,000 miles on the odometer. Put 50k on it in one year alone a while back. Safe to say I got every penny’s worth. Thinking of hanging on to it a bit longer with prices all over the place. Likely an EV or at least a hybrid next. #Honda #Accord
Just finished Bad Monkey, book & show. The show had some rough spots near the end—lower production quality, rushed moments—but it fleshed out details the book didn't dive into. The show's ending felt more satisfying, it even made me pity the villain a bit. The book also used some unnecessary slurs.

Ender has one focus in life. Ball.

Just finished The Tattooist of Auschwitz—a harrowing but important read, though the horrors felt softened. I am slightly frustrated by the 'fiction' label; the inaccuracies felt more like memory gaps or narrative choices. Fiction implies a complete fabrication to me. This story will stick with me.
Don’t forget, there is a lunar eclipse tonight for the majority of North America. If you’ve never seen one I highly recommend setting an alarm and making an effort to watch.
You don’t need anything fancy, you just get to see a big red moon in the sky! science.nasa.gov/solar-system...
"It's got that guy from Jurassic Park, how scary can it be?" is what I thought when I went to see it in the theatres when I was 13. Mistakes were made.
Drinking tea has been linked to various health benefits, including a lower risk for heart disease and degree of inflammation in the body. Now, a new study by researchers from Northwestern University suggests another surprising perk of the beverage: The brewing process may help purify the water.
A picture of Lily, a French Pitbull, resting on an out stretched leg.
Lily thinks my legs were designed for her comfort. She won’t rest anywhere else if lying on me is an option! 🤣 #dogsofbsky
🚀 Just finished Moonraker. Spoilers, but the Nazis’ demise was 🤌. Best Bond book so far. The arc on Bond’s romance was refreshing from previous books and movies.
Now starting The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Not the thematic follow-up I wanted, but it feels… necessary. Expecting it to be heavy. 📖
Exploring DeepSeek right now! I’ve used ChatGPT (even paid for it at one point), so I’m curious how the free versions of DeepSeek and ChatGPT stack up. Anyone else comparing the two? Thoughts?

If you need something on your side monitor for the day...
Thanks for sharing! Now I'm watching it on my side monitor. 😁
Ha! Not so much.
Just finished reading The Hobbit for the first time—what a journey! 🧙♂️
Now working to finish Moonraker. 🚀 So far one of the better Bond books!

I would enjoy this as well! Every day I have new bots following me. I tried following 3-4 people back that looked legitimate and they tried pushing crypto (scams).
The bots are getting smarter as well. I saw one posting that another account was a scammer and getting engagement from real users. :/
Red German boot mug with coquito in it and a cinnamon stick sticking out the top of the mug.
Coquito in a festive German boot mug to kick off the night, and champagne ready to cheer as the ball drops at midnight! Here’s to an unforgettable New Year! 🎉🥂🎊 #NewYearsEve #HappyNewYear
