89th said: It’ll be a night launch. Wish it was daylight but that’s only possible for one or two of these dates in April. [image: 1769429526740-1655d638-aa34-41fa-82d4-0af9ebe482f4-image.png] I'm glad we got lucky with the April 1st date. As I noted earlier, there were a few options that had a daytime launch, and what a spectacular launch that was. I know there's recency bias, but to my eyes and many who've seen plenty of launches, it was one of the most beautiful launches (visually) they've ever seen.

Heh. https://x.com/davidafrench/status/2039428864997220514?s=46

Saw it this afternoon. Delightful movie, and deserving of all the accolades it's gotten. I went to an IMAX theater - though it really didn't need IMAX. However, the seats were standard, small, uncomfortable seats from the 1960s. After 20 minutes of trailers and 2:20 of movie, my butt was sore. Still pretty, but sore.

The best jokes have a hint of truth.

We see you, Mr. Noem! So proud!

In the meantime however….

In Horace’s defense she has a lovely avatar.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/politics/trump-jews-penn-list-judge.html Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn ... “Though ineptly worded, the request had an understandable purpose — to obtain in a narrowly tailored way, as opposed to seeking information on all university employees, information on individuals in Penn’s Jewish community who could have experienced or witnessed antisemitism in the workplace,” he wrote. The judge, however, said that the university would not have to reveal any employee’s connection to “a specific Jewish-related organization.”

I heard one song-in a light tenor. His voice (one of the greatest ever) broke a bit. Here's a song from EARLY Fleetwood Mac that mentions McCartney's voice: Link to video I bought this album when it came out.

Their system punished me for using the legal tender of the land! And is trying to force me to use Credit Cards m, which is against my religion!

That is awesome @jon-nyc !! While I am sure that some of it is due to himself, you and his mother are also doing soemthing right!!!

Jon loves Alex Preti, and Jon would look down his nose at Alex Preti, if Alex Preti were alive.

One can accept the reason advertised as to why they shut this down to only allow you to go back to generations of relationships to acquire this citizenship while his and mine are three. The advertised claim is that most of these people who acquired the citizenship, never intended to move and live in Italy anyways, and while this may be true, I sense that the timing of this edict was more intended to stop what they foresee as a huge influx of Americans desiring to get out of the USA while getting is good. And my theory goes against my grain in that I abhor statements made by US citizens of anything oppressive that occurs globally and channeling it into some conspiracy, only meant for Americans, take Covid, for example. If one recalls, the first country to take a major hit once Covid was released to the world was in fact Italy. reason number 3537 that Trump has no business handling the reigns of power in the United States as he played along with this conspiracy, so as to downplay his incompetence and handling it when it first hit our shores. He let Maga run the ball with that one and kept patting them on the head, encouraging them. And it was then that I started having a huge distaste for these people and realized how truly selfish they all are in that they defied at every turn any type of quarantine restrictions placed upon them as an assault on their free will
