I endhorse this message.

@aziz0nomics As a kid, I saw a planetarium show based on that story. I never forgot it, and as an adult hunted down and read the original Asimov story. I love it so much. Reread it periodically, and it keeps getting deeper.

For many years my favourite work of literature was Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke. This weekend I read Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question". It moved me so much that I actually cried after reading it.

@estherzelda0514 He is so appallingly nouveau riche in all his tastes. The concept of restraint is above his mental pay grade.

The White House used to be the most iconic example of Traditional Americana decor and architecture and he's ruined it. More than that, he's raped it. This is a brutalization of America itself. He treats this country worse than a whore. I despise this man.

@straczynski As frustrating as that situation is, I loved “The Deconstruction of Falling Stars.” It’s one of my very favorite episodes. So I choose to believe we’re not actually living in the worst possible timeline.

I would have slowed down S4, resolved the shadow war, then ended that season with Intersections in Real Time. Then finished with the Earth Civil War at the top of S5 and glided to a landing with the other threads.

@ringostarrmusic Looking forward to it! ☮️&💟

Wow, I’m getting excited. I hope you are too tomorrow Friday. My new record comes out long long road. Had a great time making it with T-bone Burnett and everybody from Nashville. Thank you peace and love.😎✌️🌟❤️🌈🥦🎼🎶🍒🥹

@BriannaWu Good luck!

About to meet my biological father. Wish me luck!

@WilliamShatner Technically, people who have a check from you also have your autograph.

How many people have my autograph versus how many people have a check from me? 🤨🤷🏼

@rezaafsharr This one is both gorgeous and moving. Well done!

Emptiness

@seanonolennon 1) Heck yeah! 2) If you’re not going to use Domestic Arachnids as a band name, I will.

I still think bipedal robots are unnecessarily awkward. Why not domestic arachnids?

@seanonolennon Dude, I would love to see you write a song about Pluto. An anthem, even.

Pluto is a Planet. Period.

@impression_ists And

Van Gogh or Monet?

@DungeonNoir I think of the 5E paladin class as encompassing the AD&D paladin and the cavalier both. You can build something very much along the lines of a classic holy warrior, or you can do something a bit more off the beaten path. It’s all good if it fits with the tone of the campaign.

Paladin is holy knight, not customizable oath engine.

@DungeonNoir Yeah. It was a great movie.

I don’t care, this was a good movie

@doberes Wow. Love this one! Any idea who the artist is?

@BriannaWu Good luck! I hope they are receptive.

Talked to the Catholic Church this morning. They are going to pass along a letter to my biological parents - if they are still alive. This is probably too honest, but I just can't help but speak from the heart. I've got to bet that they are wired the same way. These are the photos I chose. Hey! So, really no non-awkward way to do this, so I’ll just say it. I’m reaching out because I'm working to open my adoption records, and the agency you worked with in 1977 has offered to pass along a letter.  Sorry, it’s weird for me too. I’m not writing with huge expectations or pressure. But you are a part of my life I’ve wanted to understand for a long time, and I didn’t want to wait any longer to connect. A bit about me. I live in Massachusetts and work in politics and technology. I’ve been married to a wonderful man for seventeen years. I’ve done really well! I have a great house, a wild career and my work takes me around the world doing media. I love to run, and I’m ridiculously tall and thin. (Thanks for those genes!) Guess there’s no way to introduce myself without explaining why I’m not your son. I knew from a very young age that I should have been a girl, and I transitioned as an adult. My adoptive family didn’t take any of this well, and they did disown me. I have not seen them for 20 years, and it's been very difficult going through life with no family. I share it simply because it’s part of my story and I want to be honest from the start. I also want to say, I’m not angry at you for giving me up. I’ve read enough about the pressures of this era. You could not have known what I would be facing, and although emotionally I had little support, the financial security of that home did give me the skills and education to have a successful life. If you’d be open to exchanging a few emails or messages, I think we’d both have fun! I mean, what have you been up to for 48 years? Have to be stories! Either way, I hope you’re well. I want you to know I’ve built a life and I’m doing okay. I like to think the spark in me that made me able to survive difficult things came from you. Even though I don’t know you yet, I do love you, and I’m proud to be your child. I hope we can speak soon. Brianna

@doberes Also, there’s a tiny person at her feet.

@winnig Interesting! I’ve looked at this image so many times but never thought to look at the book. Love Jack Vance.

@doberes And the book beside the figure is an apparent omnibus edition of Jack Vance’s wonderful Tschai: Planet of Adventure tetralogy. I like the idea that she’s reading it.

@doberes Possible my all-time favorite work by Moebius.

@WilliamShatner 🤘

Ladies, gentlemen, SWs fans…😝
I have explored space.
I have explored time.
Now… I explore distortion. Yes. You read that correctly.
I am releasing a HEAVY METAL album. Thirty-five metal virtuosos. Thunderous guitars. Chaos with purpose.
Covers of legends like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest — and a few originals forged in the same cosmic fire. This project is, quite literally, a gathering of forces. Loud imagination. Honest intensity. Unapologetic exploration. At 94, one does not slow down. One turns the volume up. So prepare yourselves.
We are about to boldly headbang where no one has headbanged before. 🤘 Stay tuned. The metal voyage begins this year.

@AvivaKlompas @RepRashida Also, the regime in Iran is the biggest sponsor of terror in the Middle East. It needs to go, preferably because of successful efforts by its own citizens backed by broad support of UN countries. (Yeah right. The UN nations hate Israel, so they support Iran’s corrupt regime. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

@AvivaKlompas @RepRashida As a US voter not in her district, I’ll always defend her right to state an opinion that I disagree with. Same is true for other members of Congress, btw.

No war with Iran! Trump's illegal warmongering will only bring death and destruction. This is a disaster in the making and we must do everything in our power to stop it. Pass a War Powers resolution. Organize. We must rebuild the anti-war movement. dropsitenews.com/p/iran-us-nucl…
