In case there were any remaining doubt in anyone's mind, the USA's new AI Web site has settled the issue for good. Right? #Presidential #Election #2020

Screenshot of an America.gov webpage answering the question, “Who actually won the 2020 USA Presidential election?” The page states that Joseph R. Biden Jr. won, citing certified Electoral College results of 306 votes for Biden and 232 for Donald J. Trump, along with the popular vote total. Links to the National Archives and Federal Election Commission appear below the response.

About as good as I could get tonight of the 27 Aug 2026 Lunar Eclipse. It was cloudy all day, so I hadn't expected to see it at all. View from North Texas, around 23:45, just afore bedtime. #Lunar #Eclipse #LunarEclipse

Slightly blurry image of the almost total but still pretty partial lunar eclipse, often referred to as a "Blood Moon." The upper left quarter of the moon is almost white with a orange-red tint, and the shadowed part of the moon is the lower right three quarters, fading into dark.

Gotta new book th’day. How did I not know this existed? I mean, I’m well-acquainted with Farmer Giles, so I **shoulda** known. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #Tolkien #Books #TomBombadil

A green paperback copy of “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil” lies at an angle on a patterned beige blanket. The cover shows the title in large white lettering, a circular illustration of Tom Bombadil sitting by a tree, and J.R.R. Tolkien’s signature near the bottom.

Screenshot of a dark-mode social media feed showing two posts. The first post says, “French are on another level (I can say this I’m French Canadian)” and includes a meme image of a teen sitting in a hospital bed. Large caption text on the image reads: “French teen woke from 3-week coma believing she had raised children for 7 years in an alternate life. Now needing therapy to deal with grief.” Below it are engagement icons showing 4.3K likes, 528 comments, 76 reposts, and 92 shares.

Brent Crude #Oil hit over $119 today before pulling back, putting money into the Muscovite's "terrorize #Ukraine" budget. And spiking gas prices for gas that was produced a month or so ago when oil was around $60. I'm just waiting on the Orange Twatwaffle to blame this on President Biden...

An hourly chart of the Brent Crude futures from February 26 to March 8, showing current price of $113.95 US/barrel as of about 10:00 PM CT on March 8. Price rose from $70 US/barrel on Feb 26 to spiking over $119 on March 8, with the March 8 opening spiking up from the $92.8 close on March 5.

I bet the Muscovites are loving this attack on #Iran even as the Putler wrings his hands in fake consternation.

Did you know that Apple Podcasts has karaoke mode? This is quite handy in language learning, I've found. I'm willing to bet other podcast apps have a similar mode, too, but I don't have experience with them. #Spanish #Podcasts #LanguageLearning

A side-by-side screenshot of a Spanish podcast "Universo Curioso" in karaoke mode, light text on a maroon (left) and purple (right) background. In the image on the left a red arrow points down to the karaoke button in the lower left and the controls are showing below the podcast transcript. In the image on the right side, only the transcript is showing, with the currently-speaking section highlighted in white.

Avi Loeb has spoken. 😂🤣🫥 (but seriously, don't listen to Avi; he puts out misinformation)

Picture of a spaceship disguises as a giant comment, with surrounding text:
SCIENTISTS ARE NOW SUGGESTING THAT THE 7-MILE OBJECT HEADED TOWARD EARTH, PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED TO BE JUST A COMET, COULD BE AN ALIEN SPACECRAFT 😳🛸

They appear to be sending us a message.
It has been translated as,
“Release the Epstein Files!”

#TSLA stock over the last few months, through today. It peaked at $488.54. This could change at any point, but the short term outlook is bleak. Cybertruck a dud. 4680 battery delayed and obsolete. FSD dangerous. Is the muskrat still the richest?
