Had to twist my head around this one, but it was the only thing that fit. 🤨🤔🤨🙂
I don’t see how T**** and the Republicans can let this happen. He talks endlessly about election rigging, and he’s already hinted that Republican states won’t certify election votes they think are suspect (like where Dems win). So what happens then?
I’ve felt “late” all day. 🤪. I guess it’s the time change. It usually messes me up a little for at least a couple of days ⏰🙂
I’m surprised at how many analogue clocks I have scattered around the house that needed changing this morning by hand. Personally, I really don’t mind getting up in the dark but I hate sunset at 4:30.

A woman wrote an AI-generated note in a gift book for a child, and now people are yelling at a different woman who wrote a poem begging her to use her own brain. Four years ago you were perfectly capable of doing things yourselves. The speed at which we’ve given up is shocking.

Halloween Saturday. Hoping I get more kids than last year. 🎃👻🙂
Well, it was a nice couple of days on here, with Star Trek and Shakespeare clips, and tributes, but now the orange one has seeped back into my feed again.
Tonight my feed is full of tributes to this great man. Remembering and celebrating his life and achievements has pushed aside all mention of that “other guy” bloviating all over. So nice to see the world honouring a generous, talented, intelligent person.

Ian McKellen pays tribute to Patrick Stewart, his close friend of many years:
“Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love,” McKellen wrote on Instagram.
“America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.”
“His farewell performance in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is yet to be seen,” McKellen concluded.
