1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.
2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it.
3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers.
10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?"
11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on.
15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"
16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east."
19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.
20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb!

Alien Safari by Robert Appleton. Simple but effective sci-fi adventure and noir.

I read "Alien Safari" by Robert Appleton recently. It's a scifi mystery set on an alien world filled with monsters. It's awesome!

1/ Charles Murray charted the heights of Western genius in "Human Accomplishment." But what made the West exceptional was not just its output. It was the people who produced it.
Let's discuss Western excellence. 🧵👇

The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.
These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years.
Flight rate will grow exponentially from there, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years. Being multiplanetary will vastly increase the probable lifespan of consciousness, as we will no longer have all our eggs, literally and metabolically, on one planet.
SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable.
Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem.
It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface of Mars. That needs to be improved to $100k/ton to build a self-sustaining city there, so the technology needs to be 10,000 times better. Extremely difficult, but not impossible.

Nigel Farage's epic final speech at the EU Parl in full.
He really socked it to them, despite them trying to cut him short by giving him a violation for waving the 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧.
Just imagine this in the HoC. No wonder they are afraid....

DUNE 2 is the realization of everything I've ever dreamed genre filmmaking can accomplish. Not since I was 10 years old and witnessed STAR WARS during its opening weekend have a felt this way about a motion picture. Proof positive that filmmakers can still conjure up magic.

This is from the Atlanta Journal.
Single Black female seeks male companionship, ethnicity not important. I'm very good looking; I love to play, I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping, fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire, and candlelight dinners that will have me eating out of your hand. When you get home from work, I will be at the front door wearing only what nature gave me. Call 404 555 1212 and ask for Daisy.
Over 1,500 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta humane society about an 8-week-old black Labrador retriever.

In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.
30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.
Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.
Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.

Just had a four hour brunch with Sara and Richard and Svetlana Dreyfuss. I’ve loved this man for decades. Impossible to express how brilliant he is. All four of us are history lovers, so naturally it was an animated discussion of current events through that lens. And did I mention he is one of the great actors of my generation, or any generation in fact? All of it pales in comparison, of course, to how blessed we are to have found the magnificent women in our lives. What a wonderful day.
