vrijdag 30 april 2021 Exactly, what is the land of Attica? Midnight movie - MST3K: Hercules Unchained. Oh! Steve Reeves. WTSQ is playing interesting stuff this morning. John Lennon's Give Peace A Chance. Who's chosing the music? Spoken word artist Kae Tempest does People's Faces. It's hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up. Our backs against the wall, I can feel you aching.

Sunny morning... but the weather changes quickly to chilly and rainy. So, it's a good day to stay inside and read The Sum of Us. Totally compelling! I’m telling myself I’m reading this book too fast! A chapter talks about our super-douchy Lt. Gov Jon Husted and his efforts to suppress the vote. Chapter 6: Never A Real Democracy. Michael Cohen on CNN: My parents always told me it's not nice to gloat. But Rudy, I told you so...What I told him is Donald Trump doesn't care about anyone or anything. He (Rudy) will be the next one to be thrown under the bus. Michael Cohen makes prediction about Trump and 2024. There's no loyalty between Trump and Giuliani.

It's not a total washout. The sun comes out. So, I take a bike ride around town. They built a BLM memorial in Tappan Square.

Waning Gibbous - 99% of the Moon is Illuminated. Taking a little walk around the neighborhood at 2:30AM. The full moon is bright in the south. OC security drives by me.

Heather McGhee was on Trevor Noah. As long as we’re divided, we’re conquered! Very well said, Ms. McGhee! I 💜 your book! Wow! We get a push of summer-like weather today across Ohio! It's cloudy and warm (82°F). Ha! Ohio loses again! The number of congressional seats allocated to the state will be trimmed from 16 to 15 starting with next year’s election.

In the year 2021, the Moon is in the process of being colonized, and this new frontier is attracting a diverse human population to lunar settlements like Moon City, Farside 5, and others.

woensdag 21 april 2021 Video of Val Demings, Jim Jordan Clash Watched 2 Million Times. I saw the confrontation on CNN. Rep. Val Demings should be my Rep. Not Jim Jordan. She represents me better than Jordan does. To hell with him! Right on, Val! Let's get rid of that big whiner. Enough of the GOP spew! Mr. Jordan, you don't know what the heck you're talking about. Truer words were never spoken about Jordan. Thanks to Rep. Demings for calling him out.

The view out my window this morning: snow snow snow snow!

The thing about an April snowstorm... Even after 5" of snow, it melts away pretty fast. The streets are clear, so biking is easy.

Some Buckeye trees are split and broken. The colors are striking - white snow, blue skies and pink cherry trees. The view of the Oberlin Golf Club. Some grass is already peeking out of the snow.

Weather in Seattle: 71°F and sunny. Sounds perfect! Turn on KING 5 - 'Relief': Washington activists, lawmakers react to Derek Chauvin guilty verdict. Remember CHOP? Hey! It's snowing again... and college boys are running in it.

Ohhhh show emotion! That's the easy part! James Franco. It's your birthday. Happy 43rd! In this film, he portrays the eccentric film-maker Tommy Wiseau.

The doctor is stunned by what he sees in his microscope. Tibana: So, then—the Rogi-Pani Complex. Mike: The Roji-Panty Complex? That part cracks me up every time when I watch MST3K: Invasion of the Neptune Men. Silly Neptune Men.

Jezero Crater - located in the Isidis Planitia, just north of the equator in the eastern hemisphere of Mars. This is where the action is!

BBC News: Nasa successfully flies small helicopter on Mars. The chopper took this image of its own shadow on the ground.

Did I really doze off during Attack of the Clones? Obi-Wan Kenobi was visiting his pal Dexter at his diner... a cozy little diner on Coruscant.

...and then I wake up to the mayhem at the Battle of Geonosis and Jedi are dying!?! They should have surrendered, but they fought back.
