Agreed! Tudyk does a great job in this show.
Resident Alien! Who knew an alien learning to fake being human in small-town Colorado could be this hilarious? Tudyk has me dying every episode. His idea of "blending in" is eating raw pie crust and threatening kids at the bowling alley. I’d trust Harry with Earth, not a BBQ

Just looked out my backyard window, and 6 deer are sleeping on the grass and eating the plants, 😀

I live in an urban area near the Cascades. This is somewhat unusual.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

You know, we haven't heard much from the QAnon pedofile chasers lately.

I wonder why?

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

Interesting article on why cryptocurrency is going to end up as a disaster (and not just for money-laundering for crooks).

When data reveals that the admin's racist bigotry is screwing us all.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Just how bad does it have to be, to create this level of cover-up?
WSJ Exclusive: A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.

A classic meme. I grin every time I see it.

Most of will never trust this court to rule using the Constitution, as they are supposed. The 6 conservative justice now rule by ideology alone.
We accepted SCOTUS decisions because there was a broadly held view that the Court was operating in good-faith even if it was a jurisprudence we didn’t agree with. That’s no longer the case. What we have is a corrupt Court making war on the constitutional order. Its decisions have no legitimacy.

The research of Dr. Gladys West, who died Jan. 17 at 95, laid the groundwork for the GPS.

Thanks in part to her, anyone with a smartphone can navigate easily from one place to the next, without having to stop to ask for directions.
Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS.
Without the mathematical model that she helped refine, “the extraordinary positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy of GPS would be impossible to achieve.”

I will never get over how, Trump made it OK to reveal your inner jerk, so many people responded with, "Hold my beer."
