I’m curious about the opening of the 2024 Olympics. France went so far over the top last time they hosted. Will they go full Cirque du Soleil or will there just be a string of teenage girls in black sweaters carrying glasses of wine and rolling their eyes? “You’re in Paris, that’s enough for you”

So… if you guys want to give me 3-5 questions, I would be happy to answer. I’d rather they be presented at the end, though, I don’t want to stomp on the dialogue.

Afraid so. His estate said he’s “stepped on a rainbow and left us.” I hope all his pets met him on the bridge, like he hoped they would.

Oh, Bowie let him twist on the hook! And I want to say it was the same year, ‘83, he was just coming out with LET’S DANCE, getting wined and dined in NYC and says something like “this is all very nice, but Tina Turner is playing tonight, I’ve no intention of missing her, and neither are you”

It has something to do with old Slavic self-governing longhouses. A little community that looked after itself and its local environment. It’s a word with a bunch of context, and that’s as much as I know.

If she really has a taste for it, there’s FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON. And HIDDEN FIGURES, of course. (Born in ‘69, missed it all, been a wild-eyed space nerd ever since)

Gene Kranz, the big block of a dude played by Ed Harris, the chief flight officer? He was all business for the whole time of crisis. See Ed wipe a tear and rub his nose when the capsule was safe? He does that because Gene did that. Also Gene’s wife made him that vest he always wears.

Also a punishing lack of Wookiees. I was promised the Wookiee homeworld as a nerd larva, and I would settle for a sizeable clan or gang or mess of cousins. Having them breeze across the screen and then vanish like Sasquatch WILL NOT DO.

The implication that that derelict spaceship may have been sitting on that planetoid for centuries and they accidentally woke up the science version of an unknowable eldritch horror is a big part of what makes the original film work!

I’ve been a fan of Yello practically my entire life, but it’s only been in the last half-decade or so that they’ve grown to look like the sort of guys who’d make that kind of music.

Without IVF, I would not be a father. When the Southern Baptists condemn IVF, they are saying that the wish my child did not exist. The Southern Baptist church has been on the wrong side of history since its inception.

The great Isabel Allende has written a children’s book about a dog named Perla. I wish with all my heart that it was a comic, but it looks great.

Women are waking up to the fact that today's version of "religion" is based upon information that has been heavily edited, redacted & mistranslated, all for the purpose to suppress and control people, ESPECIALLY women. I left the church years ago to follow the gnostic path and seek the truth.

YES! Poor ol’ Bert, Ernie barely budges an inch for his sake. Flat-out refused to play the game of Bert’s choice AFTER Bert did what Ernie wanted to do, then walked off! Bert got a solo, singing sadly about how he just wants a friend who can enjoy what HE does. Aw, Bert! I kinda like pigeons.

59 years ago today, Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteed the right to birth control. Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should "reconsider" that ruling. And this week, 38 GOP senators voted against the Right to Contraception Act. Republicans are coming for birth control.
