My bad. That Zero should have been a Four. (Academy Award nominations received by @TomCruise. ). I misread my own compilation.

Academy Award nominations earned by @TomCruise: 0 Academy Award nominations earned by others for his films: 55 Academy Awards **won** by others for movies Tom Cruise starred in: 8 ...including Best Actor (twice), Best Director (twice), Best Picture, and Best Supporting Actor.

Curious Fact -- As a movie-buff, I can name practically every film @TomCruise has ever starred in. Meanwhile, I have many favorite (other) actors for whom I can't.

June Solstice in Alaska 2026 - Oblique Sunset Time Lapse: 90 minutes before Solar midnight. Elevation 3,000 ft. 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

This conversation on @BrianTylerCohen's podcast contains everything important that I’ve said in the past five years on aliens, conspiracies, science vs politics in America, colonizing Mars, sentient AI, NASA’s budget, etc. And it all fit within 1-hr. youtube.com/watch?v=odh_Zt…

What I looked like the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Mirror-selfie. Via Pentax SP500. 55mm SMC Takumar F2.0 Lens. Kodacolor 200 film]

Not that anybody asked, but in the time that has elapsed since the @NYKnicks last won a championship, we’ve discovered eight new Subatomic Particles. J-Psi Meson / Tau Lepton / Bottom Quark / Gluon / W-Z Boson / Top Quark / Tau Neutrino / Higgs Boson

Not that anybody asked, but the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship, the planet Neptune had not yet completed one orbit around the Sun since its discovery in 1846.

Not that anybody asked, but the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship, Steven Spielberg had not yet made a feature-length movie about Aliens.

If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

I've been known to speak Alien every now and then. youtube.com/watch?v=pekMTZ…

Not that anybody asked, but the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship, the Periodic Table had 11-percent fewer Elements.

Not that anybody asked, but the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship, the Hip Hop music genre had not yet been invented.

With a 96-inch wingspan and the uncanny ability — at a height of 7’4” — to not just dunk the ball but also hit 3-pointers, “Wemby” (Victor Wembanyama) of the San Antonio @Spurs, is widely rumored to be a space Alien. I am not authorized to comment further.
