donderdag 30 juli 2026 It's 20 years of Uprising... Teddy bears! FUN!

Two minutes before the official sunrise - 6:22. It'll be a lovely day.

Trump in Nevada (2016): I love the poorly educated. 😂 Bombshell Poll Reveals Trump’s MAGA Base Crumbling as Midterms Loom. Bad ratings!

I love the poorly educated is my mantra while I shop at Meijer. Poor, dull under-educated Ohio rednecks. I'm all stocked up on groceries - wine, cheese, soups, oatmeal, pasta, chips, dip, fish... TOTAL: $191.33.

Back to my apartment to put everything away... with Rocky's help.

woensdag 29 juli 2026 Victoria Mortis is a painting created in 1921 by Swedish artist Owe Zerge. It shows a naked young man playing a game of chess against death. "Menacing" and "dramatic" at the same time.

Jesse Welles inspires me again singing a song from Nirvana. The chorus from Come As You Are haunts me. And I swear that I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun. Recorded live at Asheville Yards in Asheville, NC.

dinsdag 28 juli 2026 I'm glad Allen is such a Star Wars nerd! His vast knowledge stuns me! He compares the spaceships of the Empire with those of the Alliance. He seems to approve of the beautiful, luxurious MC80 Star Cruiser. His video post: So you wanna live? This is the ship you serve on during the Galactic Civil War.

The Imperial Era in Star Wars spans from 19 BBY to 5 ABY, defined by the rise, reign, and fall of the Galactic Empire under Emperor Palpatine. It follows the democratic Galactic Republic's collapse, covers the dark times of the Jedi Purge, and ends with the Galactic Civil War and the birth of the New Republic.

While watching the penultimate episode of The Flash's third season, Infantino Street, the hauntingly beautiful Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) by Aurora is featured. Quite appropriate for this episode.

maandag 27 juli 2026 Watch the amazing 2017 American sci-fi film Blade Runner 2049. K's holographic AI girlfriend Joi suggests that K was born, not created. Long live the Replicant Freedom Movement!

Shooting at Seattle Center Sunday - 3 dead, 4 injured. It was at a packed event - The Bite of Seattle - where 100,000 people attend. For years, the Bite of Seattle has been a summertime tradition. To me, to see violence at a place that brings so many people together is heartbreaking. I love the musicians. The Asian breakdancers are cool. Great Thai food! My favorite food: the veggie gyro. This is crazy!

zondag 26 juli 2026 Is the cat going to bite or lick the human finger?

My watch list is mountainous! It's hard to chose sometimes. Miami?

Barbs is an explorer. And so am I, but he's way more social and out-going than I am. Well, he goes to Miami and gets stinking drunk, and BRAVO! Glad that I waited for this vid. Americans... You have no idea! Sad. 😣

zaterdag 25 juli 2026 Do you know... We live in a beautiful universe!

Once a lone bounty hunter, Mandalorian Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu embark on an exciting new Star Wars adventure. Watch the 2026 epic sci-fi space movie The Mandalorian and Grogu. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Grogu is cute. The mighty Mandalorian is quite a fighter. Rotta the Hutt is an unexpectedly interesting character. Great battle in the arena! My Star Walk app shows the positions of the constellations at sunrise. View of the NE sky at 6:15 AM. The Great Bear: Ursa Major.

From my balcony, here's the same view of the NE. See some blue sky.

More astronomy fun... LHS 1140 b is an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of a red dwarf 49 light-years away. Anton does a video report about this unusual planet with a helium atmosphere.

vrijdag 24 juli 2026 Those cool Knights of Molino strike again! 👏 🤘

The kids well know that A.I. is a force to be reckoned with... SOON!

They play Teenage Phase to express those feelings when everything becomes chaos and you don’t really know what to do. These kids are talented... Special. The bass player has some fancy footwork.

Allen does a video essay exploring the hidden moral and ethical costs of droid automation in the Star Wars universe. How do you feel about memory wipes, restraining bolts and forced servitude? Great video! Watch and contemplate: This is Basically Murder... For Droids.
