Drove down to the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond for the Rolling Stones Laser Light Show in the planetarium dome... It was *QUITE* the show! 🤩

Tomorrow (Saturday)! I get to play with the Girls From Mars, a swing band from the Philly area! Another Gottaswing dance at Glen Echo Park. The band plays 9 to 11:30 pm, but there's an intro dance lesson at 8 pm included. Save $10 and get your tickets BEFORE noon tomorrow!

A yellow Grateful Dead "Dancing Bear" wearing a two-tone, black and white Zoot Suit and red tie dancing Lindy Hop with a Dancing Skeleton who's wearing a black 1920s Flapper Dress, a long pearl necklace, and a black cloche with a red headband and yellow flower — all atop a psychedelic purple and green background

I just rearranged one app on my iPhone's home screen... I swear, it's like they looked at the way Microsoft Word destroys your document layout whenever you move an image, and thought, "Mmmm, yes that!" 😡

Why do Jaybirds get all the fun? Wouldn't a Booby or Bushtit be equally naked — if not even more so? 🤔

Happy "Bacon Cheeseburger on a Friday During Lent" to all who celebrate! 🙃

I figure this pretty much checks all the boxes:
– Meat and Dairy
– Pork's neither Kosher nor Halal
– Hindu's aren't too keen on the Beef
– and Catholics wish it were Fish, today

So I mean this to be not-at-all insensitive; it's a legitimate question... How do blind people know how much toothpaste to use? When I come home late from work, I don't want to wake my wife, so I try not to turn on the light — but I'll be d@mned if I can brush my teeth in the dark!! «shrug»

Even though I'm usually pretty loose with my humor, sometimes I've been known to come up with a comment even I consider offensive and in bad taste. Thus I'm not gonna post it; sorry, not sorry. Look I get it, you're curious if it's REALLY that bad but sometimes you just have to take my word for it!

I've often said, rather than wiping out mosquitoes — nature has a way of fighting back — we should figure out how to genetically engineer mosquitoes that produce, like, Vitamin C or D, or anti-malarial compounds, e.g... Then we'd *WANT* them to breed and bite us! 🧪 www.futurity.org/ethics-eradi...

Is it ethical to eradicate certain harmful species?
In a new paper, researchers argue that deliberate full extinction of harmful species like mosquitoes is acceptable, but only rarely.

Jony Ive doesn't impress me. There, I said it... The man who did away with the iPhone's "Home" button, and moved the Power/Screenshot button from the top to the side, directly opposite the volume buttons, obviously doesn't understand "Form FOLLOWS Function." And don't get me started on "FlatUI"! 🤮

Headline Pro-Tip: Whenever you start to write, "Trump Orders ICE Agents To Flush Baby Kittens Down Toilet" or whatever, consider rewriting it as: "The Republican Party *ALLOWS* Trump To Flush Baby Kittens..." If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
