woensdag 7 augustus 2019 Seklos and Gaylen! A silly alien adventure - 3Below: Tales of Arcadia. With the fate of the universe at stake, a pair of teenage royals try to defeat the evil General Morando.

First of its kind report on News 5 Cleveland - Half of people living in poverty in Cleveland are working. Cleveland is the 2nd poorest city in the United States, just behind Detroit. In Dayton, Trump stays largely out of public view as he visits. While some people are mourning the deaths from the shootings, others are protesting.

Sociopaths - They do not tolerate disagreement. Instead, they fly into rages and claim that the upsetting reality isn't real. Trump lashes out at O'Rourke ahead of visit to El Paso. AOC is such a shining star. Here’s what we have to say to all of America’s men and women falling in the grips of hatred and white supremacy: Come back. It’s not too late. You have neighbors and loved ones waiting, holding space for you. And we will love you back. Seg-El, son of Krypton, defiant in the face of oppression... He starts to believe and to fight for a better tomorrow. Watch Krypton.

dinsdag 6 augustus 2019 News 5 Cleveland G'morning ' Cleveland!

Our friend Igor Volsky - executive director of Guns Down America - is on Democracy Now. It's absolutely tragic, but it's not surprising. When you combine hate, when you combine racism with easy access to firearms, you get tragedy. Yes, Igor! We need your words.

Unstable weather. Up to admire my favorite garden on Vine Street. Gladiolus! Back home just in time. Rain! Lightning! Thunder!

Next round of thunderstorms is coming. I can't wait. Bring it on!

maandag 5 augustus 2019

maandag 5 augustus 2019 Just 26 more days, and the kids will be back at Oberlin College. I like the sneak peak at The Expanse Season 4. Thank you Comic Con. 1300 new worlds within reach. OMG! I'm sick of the gun violence! 'Do something!' The mourning of Dayton shout down Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in call for action. Nearly 30 dead in 13 hours. Our country reckons with back-to-back mass shootings. And Trump is the King of BS Mountain. Trump comments on the two shootings over the weekend in Texas and Ohio. That evil sonofabitsch is standing there daring to talk to the nation about ending racism with his smarmy little sycophant standing behind him pretending he isn't a bigot. I just can't today.

zondag 4 augustus 2019 Are we not captured between the past and the future? -Tenavik I feel what you say, brother.

We are just a parenthesis in our time/space. I exist here and now... Between Alexander The Great and the extinction of humanity. Between the Big Bang and the hilarious End of the Universe. The sky is interesting. Full of puffy white and gray clouds. I see s classic thunderhead cloud on the horizon. It's 85°F. Toasty, eh?

zaterdag 3 augustus 2019 Be bold. Be brave. Be courageous. Black alert! -Captain Christopher Pike, 2257 ("New Eden")

I suffer temporal narcosis when I go from 2257 to 1991... from The Battle Against Control to the uprisings in Iraq against Saddam Hussein following the end of the Gulf War. Watching Three Kings.

It's 82°F and sunny. Absolutely a beautiful day for the Family Fun Fair and Car Show on College Street! Look at the orange "Marvin the Martian" car and the green 1922 Ford model T.

Look at the engine of the 1948 Buick Roadmaster... with power windows(?). A postwar classic! So much time travel today.

Another time trip... to 2029. Post Trump. Watch action, sci-fi movie Logan.

vrijdag 2 augustus 2019

vrijdag 2 augustus 2019 Klingons! They're back! Watching episodes of Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. It's so GOOD!

The Discovery is violently pulled out of warp. They encounter a sphere which is 565 kilometers made of both organic and non-living matter. The object is 100,000 years old. Is it sentient?

Do you know Aeschylus? An Ancient Greek tragedian, born 525 BC. He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep... Pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart. Now! Let's go to Vulcan.

donderdag 1 augustus 2019 Midnight movie - The Incredible Hulk.

HEART BEATING

Up with Stephen Colbert with his clever post-debate monologue. Joe Biden Attacked From All Sides. Gillibrand: First thing I'll do if elected is 'Clorox the Oval Office' Clorox: Commander in Bleach!

I fell asleep during CNN Dem Debate #2, but Democracy Now plays highlights. Brother Cornel West has opinions: What we actually witnessed in the last two days is the ways in which the Democratic establishment — this kind of last gasp of the old neoliberal project within the corporate wing of the Democratic party — is moving towards a state of panic.

John Legend slams 'racist prick' Donald Trump. You're too lenient, John.

My Lisinopril-Hydrochlorothiazide is slowing me down. It takes me 30 minutes to walk to the library... usually 22, but I sit and rest several times. It's a nice day... 82° and sunny. I'm taking home East of Eden. James Dean plays Cal. Richard Davalos: Aron. Julie Harris: Abra.
