For perspective - If you spent $1 million every single day, it would take you 2,740 years to spend $1 trillion.

At $5 a head, I figure you’d be on track to repay that 40 Trillion national debt. 🤔even if it just repays just the 11.6 Trillion the Pedoprez has racked up it’d be good

(Walking along the row of presidential portraits), he points to his 45 Portrait and says “Trump” then points to his 47 portrait and says “And there’s Trump” then pointing to Biden’s 46 portrait and then says “And this is the Autopen” as he pokes Xi in the shoulder as if to say geddit?

I’m pretty sure you are right here. They saw it effectively used against them, realised it was working well, so they then usurped it. Just as they did with “fake news” so now there is no way to describe false narratives planted in (social) media to dog whistle paranoid, ill informed voters.

It’s so good isn’t it? My understanding is the lyrics refer to her “suitor” Aiden, to whom she is saying (I’m paraphrasing here ) “everyone knows I’m a good catch so, if you like me, where’s the ring?” It’s got that Beyonce single ladies energy 😁

Agreed, the movie was bad. The original BBC TV series (1981) was brilliant, if you ever get a chance to see it, do so. 👍🏼

A single string can hide more music than you think. Handpans and monochords reveal complex tones once players master pressure and contact point.

We all like to think we're the centre of the universe ... heck, we ARE the universe 😉, but science tells us to keep a perspective. I know not everyone's into stargazing & astronomy, but we can all be in awe of the scale. #GoodMorning, everyone.
