I did a taekwondo workout, am doing housework, and hanging out with the family (self-care comes in many forms). I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

Happy Saturday Everyone! I have nothing plan this weekend except resting and getting things caught up that needs to. I don’t want to think of what changes at work these next 2 days. Enjoy your weekend everyone! @MoniqueSlijpen @kpalmers66 @IamFatimaRE @GiannaLargent @call_me_gin

@RealDeanCain Wait. I'm confused. What kings? 1st, people claim we're a democracy (which we're not), but that it's being threatened. Now, we're a monarchy or on the verge. Which is it? Both, like England? Constitutional republic, people ... constitutional republic

🤣🤣

@BaronDestructo Ugh, these are my final two. There are more ST people and males, which sways me to Teyla (also more level headed), but Worf has more of an enforcer presence. I choose Teyla. Just keep Kirk away from her.

@BaronDestructo @netengdj So is/was Data and Daniel ... a few times

@netengdj We'll reintegrate him into the Enterprise-D. Also, Wash is dead.

We have a ship, a Captain, a First Officer, a Science Officer, a Chief Medical Officer, a Chief Engineer, an Ace Pilot, a Negotiator, a ship AI, a Chief of Security, an Away Team Leader, and a Pilot/Helmsman. Next, the search for our ship's Enforcer/Warrior begins! But first we must link Pilot to the Enterprise-D via a neural graft cradle on the bridge. Bio-neural and gel-pack filaments spliced directly into his nerve tendrils will ensure that Pilot can literally feel the ship.

@DeanCainUpdates @RealDeanCain I met @RealDeanCain at a convention. After chatting for a little while, I mentioned my husband was law enforcement and a veteran. Dean made sure to meet him and shake his hand. This isn't something he does just for publicity. He means it.❤️

Dean came to shake hands and show his respect to former Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino at CPAC today.

@ginacarano The way she drops and holds that deep middle stance 👏🏻🔥

♥️♥️♥️

@DeanCainUpdates @RealDeanCain This is always one of my favorite episodes. It's also one that gives me hope for Lois and Clark, since Wells mentions the future built by Superman's descendants. Dr. Klein didn't get it right all the time ya know. 😊 The show may not have continued, but their legacy does.

The Lois & Clark episode “Tempus Fugitive” (S2E18) first aired 31 years ago today, on March 26, 1995. ⏳🕰️🎥✨

For eleven years, a 68-year-old retired forklift truck driver from Mirfield, England began each day by listening to his late wife's voice on their home answering machine message. She had passed away from cancer in 2003. He never changed phone companies. Every time a new provider offered him a better deal, he asked the same question: if I switch, will her voice be kept? The answer was always no. So he stayed. Then in December 2014, Virgin Media, his telephone provider, deleted the message during routine technical work. Stan Beaton described the moment he found out as one of the worst of his life. "I just could not tell people how it affected me," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "It really did devastate me." He contacted Virgin Media and told them what had happened. The executive director of engineering later described the task of finding it as searching for a needle in a haystack. The chances of recovery, he said, were slim. A team of engineers spent three days searching through archived servers anyway. They found it. Virgin Media sent Stan a CD with the recording. He broke down in tears the moment he heard her voice again. Is there a voice you would do anything to hear one more time?

I don’t think people understand how real this job is. Yesterday, a panicked citizen told me a young man was walking around with a gun in his waistband. As he was telling me this, he pointed and yelled, “He’s right there!” The person was walking up the street towards me with his hand on a gun in his waistband, just like the man said. With all the people around, I couldn’t wait. I had to stop him before he got to a corner with a large crowd. I exited my vehicle and confronted him. He reached for the gun again, and I was about to do something I pray I never have to do. He knew me and immediately dropped to the ground. When backup arrived, we cuffed him and removed a toy gun with an orange tip. I scolded the young man. I remembered trying to help this young man get shelter and buying him a pair of shoes a few years ago. I could have shot this man, who looked like one of my sons, over a toy. I haven’t been able to sleep all night, thinking about how close I came. Would I have been justified? Absolutely. It looked like a real gun. But what would the papers say in the morning? How would the anti-cop crowd spin it? “Cop who claimed he cares for the homeless shoots unarmed homeless Black man with a toy.” Though his race was never a factor other than how he was described by the witness. No one would have known how many times I tried to help this young brother. How many would believe this biased headline and call me trigger-happy when I haven’t shot anyone in 30 years? How many friends would I lose? How woke would the narrative be among people about how I hate myself and my people, leading me to murder with impunity. Folks, the decisions we have to make in a split second aren’t easy. But they are NOT rooted in racism or brutality. It’s what we are up against in the moment. I thank God he complied. That would have been tough to live with. This would have been another case Of a broken system failing him, and me, then all cops being made the scapegoat for it.

In 2013, Tracy Spraggins was told she would die without a kidney transplant due to complications from lupus. Her husband, PJ Spraggins, was a perfect match, but doctors initially rejected him as a donor because he was overweight and had dangerously high blood pressure. Determined to save his wife, PJ spent the next year on a grueling health journey, losing 70 pounds and stabilizing his blood pressure. On February 24, 2015, the couple underwent a successful transplant surgery at Vanderbilt University Hospital. Today, Tracy is healthy, and PJ remains in the best shape of his life.

@drjasonfung @RogerSeheult Many of us were scared senseless with shows about girls "skipping meals" for weight loss and fainting. That kind of brainwashing is slow to heal. It may date me, but I clearly remember this on The Facts of Life, "Dieting."

I agree. Only 10 years ago, when I wrote The Obesity Code, fasting was considered highly detrimental for health and eating every 5 minutes or so was beneficial.

@Mr_Husky1 Gene Kelly ... sigh

In 1952, one man ran straight up a wall, flipped backward—twice—then threw himself across a concrete floor again and again, turning impact into comedy. By the end of the day, his body was wrecked. Donald O'Connor went home, collapsed into bed, and didn’t get up for three days. When he returned to the set at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the crew greeted him with applause. Then came the news. The camera had been set incorrectly. None of it could be used. He would have to do it all again. That performance became “Make ’Em Laugh” in Singin' in the Rain—a sequence that looks effortless, almost impossible, as if it were somehow enhanced or faked. It wasn’t. It was one performer, a hard floor, and a level of physical commitment that pushed him to the brink—twice. Across the lot, something just as extraordinary was happening. Gene Kelly was filming the movie’s most famous scene—the title number. He had a fever of 103 degrees. He was told to go home. He refused. Instead, he stepped into artificial rain, under heavy lights, and danced. He splashed through puddles, swung from a lamppost, and smiled like nothing in the world could touch him. On screen, it looks like pure happiness—one of the most iconic images in film history. Behind it was exhaustion, illness, and sheer will. That’s the paradox of it. What looks like joy often demands everything. *Singin’ in the Rain* would go on to become one of the most celebrated films ever made—later named the greatest movie musical by the American Film Institute. O’Connor’s performance earned him a Golden Globe. And numbers like “Moses Supposes,” built specifically to showcase the chemistry between Kelly and O’Connor, still feel electric decades later. But behind the laughter, the rhythm, the lightness—there’s something else. Bruised bodies. Endless retakes. A ruined reel of film. And two performers who gave more than anyone watching could ever see. Seventy years later, the magic still holds. Because what we remember is the joy. And what made it possible… is everything it cost. Follow us Lost in Yesterday ll

@ZacharyLevi Wow! This is awesome. Wait ... can you even fold up and fit in a row?

FINALLY! 🫠🙌

@BaronDestructo Colonel John Casey ... oh, sorry, Jayne Cobb I prefer Casey to Cobb, and they have the same initials (funny, that), so we can pull the switch.
