The championship bout between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier that took place in the Philippines was known as “The Thrilla in Manila.” The UFC match that took place at the White House last Sunday should be known as “The Yawn on the Lawn.”

So glad I wasn’t drinking my coffee at that moment.

I wonder if they ever stop to think how much these things look like a homoerotic fantasy. Or maybe that’s the intent. I’m not judging but maybe they should take down the “Stars and Bars” to fly the rainbow flag. Be free!

Absolutely! Saw him a few years ago in Chapel Hill, NC and I still laugh when I think about that show!

I saw that @aoc.bsky.social said that tRump wants his face in passports as his own mini Mount Rushmore. I think it’s more nefarious than that. With his face in them, the MAGAts are more likely to get passports that the SAVE act will require as ID.

It’s like when my congress critter said that tRump had been acquitted during his impeachment. I said, “He wasn’t acquitted. He was abetted.”

BTW @davidbflower.bsky.social, I can confidently say that I’ve seen the movie you posted well over a half dozen times. 🙂

In the nearly 0% chance that they find the election was rigged, wouldn't that make Orange Julius Caesar ineligible to be president now?

My mother was extremely masculine in appearance, demeanor and employment. I’d hate to see how she’d be treated today.

His possible run in 2028 is in question. Right now, it looks like Rubio is the heir apparent.

If it's going to be a plumber, I'd feel more comfortable if it was Mario.

One of you is right. Hint: It ain’t the guy with the bad combover and a tie that’s entirely too long.

From the government's official "Eat Real Food" site, it looks more like a game of Cards Against Humanity.

I’ll admit that SFA isn’t exactly my cup of tea but I’m not going to shove Star Trek into a little box and declare that anything that deviates in any way from what I like about Trek should be banned. Anyone remember IDIC?

Just posted. I'm in Bortle 7+ (not quite 8) so I know the feeling. It's 120 subs at 3 minutes each. I'll share it here, too.

I was shooting the Witch’s Head during the four hour window I have when that part of the sky is visible between the neighbors’ trees. The last sub has branches. I’ll post it on your Discord server if I like how it turns out.

I recently acquired a new Askar 71F flat field refractor telescope. For the last two nights, the skies have been clear and calm which has allowed me to capture 10½ hours of data on IC 1848, the Soul Nebula.
