Ok. I thought you might not have seen the show at all. There’s a certain point at which it jumps the shark for me.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

There are others. These are just the ones Gilligan wrote. Rolling Stone has a list of the top 100 episodes, which is pretty good. I don’t like the show after a certain point. No spoilers!

This is so subtle. It blows my mind. If this only captures a ghost of the original… earth-shattering!

Ok, I’m seeing reports that this woman is not necessarily a great pick either. She’s buddy buddy and face-hugging close with Netanyahu. She seems real chummy with Trump’s ideas and MO.

Trump:
Courage - bone spurs
Nobility - mocking dead people and the disabled

Mike Nellis (@mikenellis)

A reporter asked the chair of the Nobel Peace Prize committee why Trump didn’t win, and the guy basically said it’s because he has no courage or integrity. Absolutely brutal.

Hameroff here gives a great precis of his and Penrose’s OR theory of the origin of consciousness and how it suports Mark Solms’s theory. Chalmers is a lightweight.

If we really mess things up, in billions of years the universe will reach complete entropic stasis, the Big Freeze. ... a crunch, a rip, or frequency modulation, the idea that things begin again could be the only hope for beings like us to ever pass this way again.

To pass this way again

As a show of sincere commitment to Trump’s so called “Gaza Peace Deal,” Israel is continuing to bomb civilians through out the night.

Growing up in Harvey IL impacted Leo! Fighting Illini.

Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness,
Bareheaded,
Shoveling,
Wrecking,

Building, breaking, rebuilding

Standing Mountain @standingmountain.bsky.social · 1d

Of stone and lime each joining,
yet matter bears no weight when spirit dwells within.
At the summit of sky and flight I find you,
not beyond, but in the rising of my own depth.

City of wind,
There the Great Spirit abides—
not as guest, but as air one breathes.
