I had no idea who Patrica Quinn was. Turns out she was in two of my favorite things. Thanks for the information

It’s a really amazing show. Zero budget, but they make you think you’re watching a spectacle.

Old BBC series, ‘I, Claudius.’ History of the first five Roman Emperors, with Brian Blessed as Augustus and Patrick Stewart as an ambitious general.

Relevant because of Caligula. He didn’t fall because he was a violent tyrant. He fell because he lost the support of the military.

Hopefully, Trump will miss that idea…

Sounds like a great place to do massive civil disobedience.

I for one, am glad he’s planning this.

At some point, the top generals are going to have to make a choice of who to support.

It’s actions like this that cost Caligula his life.

Remember when Trump said Obama should resign if one American died of Ebola?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This is the most powerful anti-Trump message you can deliver.

A lot of Boomers are completely reliant on Social Security to survive. Those folks vote in every election.

Tell any old person you meet that Trump is closing their Social Security office and that Musk is moving all services to online.

Once you fall into a routine it will get easier.

First week is tough because you’re learning the job, plus learning the best ways to travel, where to buy stuff, etc.

I noted elsewhere that walking is our superpower. Back in the day humans would find a herd of grazers in the morning and throw rocks at them. Then the humans would pick one unlucky beast and follow it all day until ti was exhausted and then we’d kill it.

Don’t get started on those assholes with airholes!

“Oh, we were land creatures, but we went back to the seas!”

It’s such a BS way to play the game, man. Everyone else is using teeth and claws. Fucking boa constrictors are fucking cool as fuck. Fucking bipeds just walk and walk and walk. Total BS and completely uncool.

In the first Iron Man comic, Tony Stark says that the secret of his power is ‘transistors.’ The arc reactor came much later.

[off topic?]

I love this show. A historian looks at how one change can spread out and affect many different things.

I’ve wanted someone to invent this for years.

It looks like a blank book. Pages feel and smell like paper. Insert a disc and text appears on the pages. Any book you want with the feel of a book and the convenience of an e-reader.
