I use Twitter to follow numerous people that make me want to vomit fire. Not because I agree withthem. Not to hear "all sides". And certainly not to give a semblance of balance. I follow them because it's important to know what the loonies, extremists and nutjobs are up to next.

In Book 1 of Meditations, Marcus Aurelius begins by thanking his grandfather for teaching him “decency and a mild temper”. It reminds me very much of my own late grandfather’s best qualities, and so I feel this sentiment is a great way to start the day.

From this planet with 8.3 billion or more people - to the beginning of everything 14 billion years ago, when all matter and energy was compressed into an unimaginably small space. How strange it is that all things have come this far.

This is a very, very strange timeline we’re on. Never did I imagine that someone like MTG would post this stuff. M
If your church leaders and elected leaders are telling you the way to bring Jesus back is by killing innocent children of innocent foreign people you’ve never met in a foreign land you’ve never been to, then your believing the lies of wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing.

Did we enter the wrong timeline?
This is the Trump I supported, the man who called out the truth about the WMD in Iraq and declared NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. Now for some unknown reason, Trump has joined the neocons and will soon go to war against Iran with the same BS excuses. End of MAGA

Thank you for your support!
Today marks four years since Russia invaded Ukraine, a violation of international law that remains as immoral and repugnant now as it did then. We pause to reflect on all that the Ukrainian people have endured. We think of every life so cruelly and pointlessly stolen. We think of every life damaged forever. Yet we are also awed by the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people and their refusal to buckle to the tyrant in the Kremlin. We stand with Ukraine. Our support includes a commitment of over $1.7 billion in total assistance, including $1.5 billion in military support to help Ukraine defend itself. We remain committed to ensuring that Russia and its enablers face consequences. Today, our Government has imposed additional targeted sanctions on 180 individuals, entities and shadow fleet vessels with links to Russia, bringing the total number of Australian sanctions to more than 1800. We continue to coordinate closely with Ukraine and international partners through the Coalition of the Willing, and we continue to push for a just and lasting peace. A peace that upholds Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, supports Europe’s security and stability, and delivers us a world liberated from Russia’s aggression. Slava Ukraini!

No words. The only plausible explanation is that he must rake in money from the engagement - no matter how absurd.
I am settling in for a showing of ‘Melania’ and the theater is PACKED! Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks. “Avatar? No, son,” I curtly replied. “I don’t watch woke movies. I’m here to see the groundbreaking documentary about our incredibly talented First Lady.” The man’s two little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his sleeve, and begging, “Daddy, we want to see Melania!” “But. But…” he stammered, “I thought you girls wanted to see Zootopia 2?” “No, no, NO,” they said, now nearly shouting. “We want to see Melania!! She is the most beautiful First Lady EVER.” Their father was scrambling, stressed out, and disoriented. “Girls, I’m afraid you aren’t the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,” I said, kneeling to get on their level. “Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it’s been sold out for days.” Tears began to well up in their eyes. “But…” I said in a hushed tone, “I happen to have a few extra tickets with me, and I’d like you and your dad to have them.” They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile. I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. “Raise these girls right,” I whispered. “Teach them to be classy conservative women of faith like Melania, don’t let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?” He hugged me and thanked me profusely. “What are you going to do now?” He asked. “Don’t worry about me, son,” I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. “I’ve already got tickets to the next showing.”

Tomorrow, the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine (a.k.a. “Taking Kyiv In Three Days”) will match the entire duration of the Eastern Front of WWII. Just let this fact sink in.

I actually don’t know the lyrics to the original.
Weird Al Yankovic contacted Kurt Cobain about covering Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Kurt asked if the parody version could be about food. Weird Al instead said the song should be about how no one can decipher the lyrics! Thankfully Cobain loved it & the rest is history!🤣

99% Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley. Maybe 1% me. I'm still proud to have been even a small part of the process. We knew it was going to be a monstrous hit when our much-overworked playtest team stayed AFTER HOURS to keep playing Civilization just for fun. That had literally never happened before nor since.
Civilization is, arguably, the best game ever made when it was released. One of many triumphs by Sid Meiers and @SandyofCthulhu

Read his book, Red Notice. Also, from his tweet: “They will talk nice at the outset to attract the investment, but once it’s there, they will steal, defraud, arrest, torture or even kill to make sure that no American makes any money.”
The Wall Street Journal alleges that the real motivation behind Trump’s eagerness to force Ukraine into an ugly surrender is the idea that a lot of people close to him can make a lot of money doing business and deals in Russia. If this is true, beyond the disgusting morality of this and the huge geopolitical risks that it creates, none of these people salivating over their future riches are going to make a penny, and perhaps do a lot worse. I was once the largest foreign investor in Russia and I can say with certainty that the Russians aren’t going to let anyone profit in any way. They will talk nice at the outset to attract the investment, but once it’s there, they will steal, defraud, arrest, torture or even kill to make sure that no American makes any money. I’ve seen it so many times it’s almost universal. So, this shocking initiative is not only terrible policy, it’s spectacularly stupid business. wsj.com/world/russia/russia-…
