Nah nah, hey hey, good bye ... #Trump ally Tina Peters sentenced to nine years for hacking into the Mesa County CO voting system.
#StarTrek Scott Bakula of "Enterprise" is currently performing a one-man show at Ford's Theater in DC, portraying Abraham Lincoln.

John Williams scored the soundtrack to my life ... I'll sign up for Disney Plus just to watch this.
#Hurricane #Helene thought ... For years now, we in #Florida have been in crisis because insurance companies see no way to make a profit here. The few companies still selling insurance here charge exorbitant premiums.
Helene proves the hurricane threat is no longer limited to Florida.
The insurance crisis is now a national issue. Congress will have to create homeowner insurance of last resort. Much of the country will be unable to buy wind/flood insurance after this. No state is safe.
From #CNN: Fidelity estimates that Zombie Twitter is now worth 80% less than when Elon Musk bought it. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Brave Sir Donald ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Donald!
(With apologies to Monty Python.)

Happy 66th birthday #NASA! The agency began on October 1, 1958.
This is a film sent out to employees of its predecessor agency, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, just before the switchover. It features outgoing NACA director Hugh Dryden and incoming NASA administrator Keith Glennan. Glennan kept on Dryden as NASA deputy administrator.
"Its explicitly stated goals were to 'secure the victory of a Republican candidate' in the 2024 presidential election, to increase the quantity of U.S. citizens who told pollsters that they believed that the war in #Ukraine needed to end as soon as possible by at least ten percent, and to reduce U.S. President Joe Biden’s approval rating by at least ten percent."
