dinsdag 28 februari 2023 It seems that we'll explore space a lot more. The European Space Agency wants private companies to build a lunar telecommunications service, but it'll require a common lunar reference time. We Need Moon Standard Time!

Yep. Yep. I'd totally get a Moon Watch! Synched to Moon Time!!

Picard Season 3! Lots of talent, humor and action!! And Captain Liam Shaw is snarky and kinda mean, but he has all the best lines.

David Pakman. CPAC (starting tomorrow) in shambles. Fox News ignoring. Mike Pence declines invitation. OMG! Ron DeSantis!! Tulsi Gabbard compares Biden to Hitler. Nikki Haley still confused. Mitt Romney justly blasts Marjorie Taylor Greene on secession insanity.

The universe is perfect. You cannot improve it. If you try to change it, you will ruin it. If you try to hold it, you will lose it. Notes to Odo Chan, CY 9101 - Deep Midnight's Voice

maandag 27 februari 2023 Sunrise: 7:08 AM. The calm before the storm, I guess. Fast-Moving Storm Targets Great Lakes.

Remind me: Mon, Feb 27, 3:05 PM EST Camelback Ranch, Glendale, AZ. Still good for MLB Spring Training. Seattle vs. Chi White Sox. Go M's.

António Guterres, the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations: Russia unleashed widespread death, destruction and displacement with the invasion of Ukraine. His preachments about Human Rights are meaningless!! The UN is hosting warmongers in the Security Council. Question: why is Russia still on the Security Council?

In the far flung future, year 1999, humans have achieved world peace. Earth's kaiju have been collected by the United Nations Science Committee. Alien invaders from the planet Kilaak control the monsters. Watch Destroy All Monsters. (Sorry. They're not destroyed. Liars! 😕) Captain Katsuo: Humanity is running out of time.

zondag 26 februari 2023 Turn on ABC 7 Chicago for news, weather and sports. But they have Space News, too. Astronomers have discovered a New Forbidden Planet. Only 285 ly distant from Earth.

Oh, no. 😑 A 12-year-old boy in Portsmouth, RI is bullied for growing out hair to donate to cancer patients. Always choose kindness.

Watching SNL vids from last night. I lose track of time. Jack White was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live for the 5th time last night. Rocker delivers electrified performance of Taking Me Back. Wasting too much time inside. The sun beckons. Let's get the bike!

After a long ride, I'm tired. Relaaax. Turn on the M's vs KC game.

zaterdag 25 februari 2023 C'MON! Leave poor Harper alone!! He's had enough since Harper 2.0!!! Always working hard to save the Universe for you slobs. Watch Andromeda: The Right Horse.

Hi, there! Surprise! It snowed a couple inches on us this morning. Now, it's sunny, and the snow is melting. Outside for a little bit. Walking alone with my hands in my coat pockets... blasting Logical in my ears.

Someone in Cleveland took a lovely photo of the snow before sunrise.

Turn on Hal Sparks. Interesting discussion about holes. I'm cracking up! If you didn't have holes - Johnny Million - you'd be a lot bigger?!?!

Seriously, I'm glad to see Philip Ittner on the show... talking about Russian military, their psychology. They discuss Zelenskyy’s latest press conference, the role of China in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the fighter jet debate, and more.

I'm not tired of Ukraine. Refugees are the real story! Washington is a small state, but they have accepted many Ukrainian refugees. I'm so proud! Over 16,000 Refugees Now Call Washington State Home.

I was a refugee... once upon a time. Thanks, Seattle, you're the best.

vrijdag 24 februari 2023 Midnight movie - one of my Mystery Science Theater 3000 faves - the evil version of Cocoon - Pod People.

Hear the engines roar now. (Hear the engines roar now.) Idiot control now. (Idiot contro no.) Hideous control now. (Hear the engines ol' now.) Ninny on the road now. (Ninny po po now.) Mini in control, wheels on fire, burnin' rubber tires. (Rubber tires.) On France 24: Ukrainians mourn and vow to fight on, a year after Russia invaded. The red and black flag is frequently used as a military symbol and unofficial war flag during the Russo-Ukrainian War.

ABC 7 NY: New Yorkers mark 1 year since Russia's invasion of Ukraine with remembrances, memorials. Go, M's! For the first time in 2023... LET'S PLAY BALL!! GO, J-ROD!!!

donderdag 23 februari 2023 Last night: Lost in Space marathon.

The most groovy episode of all: The Promised Planet. Bartholomew! FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul. Drifting snow. Car crashes. Hundreds of cancellations at MSP. What a mess! And it's still snowing. KTLA: Did it really snow at the famous Hollywood Sign? YES, it did!

Making some Vegan Spinach Dip. Enough salt? Enough garlic? YUM! 😋

The recipe is on the internet. Thanks Karissa!

woensdag 22 februari 2023 Philip Ittner: One of the these vehicles may very well hold inside POTUS. Straight down the main drag in Kyiv, Kreschatyk. During an air raid warning. I'm proud of my President and proud to be American today. Ukraine will be free. And my heart has joy. Slava Ukraini! Slava США! How Joe Biden Snuck Into Ukraine.

Biden Meets with Eastern European Leaders. As the war in Ukraine drags on, the Bucharest Nine countries’ anxieties have remained heightened. Biden in Ukraine! His visit still amazes me... with Zelenskyy.

Turn on WKYC Weather. Here is the latest view of the StormTrack Doppler Radar across Northeast Ohio. Isn't it pretty? 😂

CNN: A historic 3-day storm will bring snow, ice and extreme cold across the US. It's a coast-to-coast phenomenon! Even in SoCal?!?! KTLA: Powerful winter storm to bring low-elevation snow, heavy rain and frigid temps to Southern California.

A feel good optimistic song for a dreary, cold, rainy day. Sing along with me! Shiny happy people holding hands. Shiny happy people holding hands. Shiny happy people laughing. Shiny Happy People. Polar vortex anyone? Roland Emmerich must feel so vindicated right now. Remember that 2004 film called The Day After Tomorrow?

A lot of things weigh on my mind. Worry, concern and anxiety about the state of affairs of our planet. So many questions... and no answers.

dinsdag 21 februari 2023 Rachel Maddow: History is here to help. Amazing. Did not know this until I started watching Maddow. This is the 9th anniversary of the Heavenly 100! Небесна сотня 🙌 ✨ 💫

YouTube left me a nice playlist with a lot of Mixed Up Everything (MUE) videos. SNL - 2020 Democratic Debate. Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole. Great Earthquakes of the Pacific Northwest. Muse - Uprising. Stephen Colbert - Prez Gets Physical. MUE - Metallica - The Day That Never Comes (All live! One take! 984K views! ❤️). MUE - Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna My Way. MUE - Stone Temple Pilots - Plush. Choir of Young Believers - Hollow Talk. MUE - Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun. RGB - Screensaver. MUE - Tool - Schism.

Windy day for a bike ride. View of US Steel. Welcome to Rust Town.

Temp: 44°F. Winds WSW 20 to 30 mph. Very blustery! There's hardly ever a calm day, it seems, in Ohio. Safe at home with my laptop.

Jo Livingstone (critic): Valerian is funny, gorgeous, and full of the type of mindbending scenarios that remind you of what fantasies are for. Valerian is an extravaganza of beauty and imagination. That's why I watch 2017 Sci-Fi Thriller Valerian again and again.

Major Valerian is happy to discover a nuclear pearl from a Converter.

maandag 20 februari 2023 March For Our Lives founder David Hogg: Sometimes I get really stressed about how our generation will ever make it through DeSantis and the SCOTUS. Then I remember we have the one thing on our side they can’t buy more of but is the most valuable thing to have in politics. Time. We will outlive both and we’re voting. Yup. I'm 66 and stressed, but you guys give me hope.

Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-R) is an obsessed and serious gun nut, and I'm glad that Mr. Hogg confronted him at the Congressional Hearing. Of course, Tucker Carlson is on FOX News with Biggs mocking the Liberal Activist... both breaking down in laughter. Sickening! 🤮 Am I too Logical? I said, now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical. A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal. That's nothing new.

Now for something completely different! Bonjour, Metz. Good news, Jedi! France hosts its first lightsaber championship.

I’ve been following “Geography Now” on YouTube for a long time. The guy who calls himself Barbs has done a profile on each country in the world from A to Z for 8 years now. Guess which country he covered this week. ❓ UKRAINE❗ This is a great video!

zondag 19 februari 2023 Jimmy Carter Enters Hospice Care. Blessings to our 39th U.S. president... 32 years older than me.

Ali Velshi is in Ukraine to mark one full year since the Russian invasion began. Ukrainian MP Inna Sovsun: There is no peace end to this war...only a military end. She's right. There will be no negotiated end to this war. Russia has to leave. Her little boy Martyn breaks my heart. Not even the kids are spared from the trauma of the war in Ukraine. Out for some fresh air. Sun, wind, clouds and blue skies (54°F).

Soundgarden plays in my head while biking around town. Chris Cornell 😘 One more time around (I might do it). One more time around (I might make it). The day I tried to live, yeah.

zaterdag 18 februari 2023 What a Sci-Fi night! Watch my favorite episodes of Andor and Star Wars: Rebels. And Allen does his review of the 15 Rebels Who Fought in the Clone Wars.

RAINBOW BLIND!

Orlando seems to be a great city to get into some interesting classes. Yield a lightsaber? They have classes for that at Studio K. What is my potential? Lightsaber Technique with Mandy.

Turn on David Pakman. He takes calls and reads e-mails from his audience. Hoping someone would address the growing bully culture. Luke Beasley was bullied and harassed at a recent Trump event in South Carolina. I was feeling very nervous watching this confrontation. The sunshine beckons me to go outside! But it's CHILLY! Winds SW at 15 to 25 mph. (Real feel: 28°F.) Actually, it's not that bad. Exploring the Hometown Market Neighborhood.

What's playing in my ear buds? Ali Velshi's gripping interview with author Marsha Skrypuch about her book Winterkill - a sad tale of survival inspired and informed by true accounts of survivors of Ukraine's famine-genocide the Holodomor - in the 1930s. 💔 Голодомор

vrijdag 17 februari 2023

vrijdag 17 februari 2023 Midnight movie - MST3K: Quest of the Delta Knights. Crow: Well, it's better than Quest of the Delta Burkes, I suppose. The "Loaner Crow" is one of the funniest things. They turn the Loaner Crow’s radio on, it plays Melissa by the Allman Brothers.

Last night's dream: Wil Ohmsford accompanies me on our quest to find the mysterious Vase of Power. The world must be pushed forward. The fear that the Earth has quit spinning or that it has stopped in its orbit around the Sun wakes me up. What? What? What is it?!

John Fugelsang! He is on Stephanie Miller. John is so great! 😊  They are talking about who is running for President. Nikki Haley? Seriously? A presidential candidate for the GOP? Please! A Donald Trump alternative? Don't treat her like a "new" Republican.

Outside briefly for a windy little walk. Sleet was falling on me, then snow, then sleet, then snow again! Geez! ❄️
