@corlin Ayup.
An abandoned UNRWA school that was used to fire rockets at Israel 48hrs ago.
Which prompted the IDF to issue an impending strike/raid warning 24hrs ago.
Iranian proxies don't give advanced warning. They just fire randomly into crowds.

While in the surf today, I found a blue darner dragonfly strugglingโit was upside down with its wings stuck to the surface of the water.
I scooped it up and carried it to shore. It huddled in the shelter of my hands for long minutes as it seemed to rest. Almost imperceptibly the tiny water droplets on its wings dried, and it finally flew away.
I probably looked crazy to observers, but it felt important to give this tiny life a chance.

I didn't know the song Eli's Coming was written by Laura Nyro. Until now. I just knew the Three Dog Night version.
I'm trying to figure out why Lady Gaga has an antenna on her head.

Just saying! Alien (1979) is a movie in which nobody listens to a smart woman, and everyone dies except for the smart woman and her cat.

Around the house I'm known as the medium order cook. I'm not that short and I'm not that fast.

I think only a third to a half of my posts stand without a correction or edit.
In the 1938 Cary Grant & Katherine Hepburn film "Bringing Up Baby" there is a scene where Grant's character resorts to wearing Hepburn's very frilly/fuzzy bathrobe because she sent his clothes out to be dry cleaned. Someone visits while he's wearing it and asks why. Grant ad-libbed the reply "I just went gay all of a sudden." It is the first film use of close to the modern sense of the word. It had started being used in within the gay community in the 1920s, but wasn't commonly known in 1938.
Good afternoon!๐ I don't know any of today's news. Hope you're all doing great!

Itโs been said a lot alreadyโand itโs going to need to be said a lot more through November and potentially for the next four to eight yearsโbut the attacks being leveled against Vice President Kamala Harris this week are just staggeringly sexist, misogynistic, and racist...
