TRUMP: I got the highest in the history of TX, a record that won't be beat unless I run again
CNBC: Are you going to run again?
T: Probably not. I'd like to. I have the best poll numbers I ever had.
C: Among Republicans
T: No. I'm talking about generally.
C: Polls have you down in the 30s

I think the burning of Shireen is the most devastating moment in all of Game of Thrones.

Continuing with my Game of Thrones rewatch, The Watchers on the Wall doesn't get the respect it deserves. What an incredible episode of television.

There's buzz on Geocities message boards that the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in New Mexico discovered a radio signal that did not originate from Earth a few hrs ago. We've heard such claims before, but this is SETI reportedly saying this.

Rewatching Game of Thrones. Dany taking the Unsullied in Season 3, episode 3 is freaking great. The reveal she is speaking High Valyrian, followed by the killing of the masters... just great stuff.

and they went to the Finals the year before the trade!
The Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, 4 (!) first-round picks and a pick swap for KD.
Two years later, all they get back is Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, one late lottery pick and 5 second-rounders.
And all they have to show for it is one playoff series win. Woooooof.

While waiting on @theshaggyshepherd.bsky.social 's proofread of Book 4 in my Galactic Civilizations series, I've been revisiting Felan's Rescue (book 1), planning to release an updated version as I'm just a better writer now and while I love that story, there are scenes I am improving.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
I think I'm going to be saved!

I'm very behind on Andor, but just finished the Ghorman arc... incredible television. This show is elite.
It's so fun, watching a Star Wars show that is fresh and exploring new aspects of the Galaxy/Empire/Rebellion.

Nobody writes science fiction battles like Pierce Brown. Light Bringer is already a tour de force.

I've been doing a game of thrones rewatch. Robert and Cersei discussing the state of things remains one of my favorite scenes in the show. It's a compete show creation (but in the books) and it's phenomenal.
