RIP Ensign Chekov/Alfred Bester. Walter Koenig has died. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/w...

A nice memorial for Margaret Hamilton (the computer engineer, not the witch) in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

I watched “The Social Reckoning” last night. It made me feel even better that I quit Facebook cold turkey a year and a half ago. Watch it, tell your friends, and… you know what to do next. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soc...

Margaret Hamilton, Software Engineer and leader of the team that wrote the on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo guidance computer, and likely saved the Apollo XI landing, has died at the age of 90 on 30 September. 1201 Alarm! 1202 Alarm!

This quote nicely sums up the muddled feelings I have had for years regarding so-called “reality” TV. Everything from Survivor and Big Brother to The Apprentice make it clear that “there can only be one” winner and winning at all cost is the objective. Sound familiar?

Oh yea!

A BIG THANKS to all who showed up in the rain to "greet" the President and "welcome" him to Durant!

Very nice work!

The election is coming soon, so... For my Okie pals, register to vote or make sure you are still registered to vote via the OK VOTER PORTAL here: oklahoma.gov/elections/ov... Its easy. Then VOTE! Get your family & friends to vote, too! And while you're at it, get your vaccines up to date.

The Somalis were supposedly eating your dogs and cats. But the Republicans - They’re coming for your brisket!!! www.kristv.com/news/local-n...

Numerous reports indicate that Trump may attempt to demolish the Kennedy Center soon. I hope I've done my miniscule part by sending a "strongly worded" email to my two senators and my representative. But, this is Oklahoma, so...

It’s about humans making art.

Judge Luttig’s article on what could happen on January 3rd, 2027 is the most important thing you read and understand about how our democracy could be lost. Read it, vote, and, as he suggests, contact your Representative and make sure they know how you feel. newrepublic.com/article/2151...

I walked outside late this afternoon and happened to turn around and saw this...

Some simple words of wisdom, but often so hard to put into practice. But keep trying.

The current Monopoly was created for a reason! It is derived from The Landlord's Game, created in 1903 in the United States by Lizzie Magie, as a way to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopol...

GOD DAMN IT ADOBE I DOWNLOADED THE TYPEFACE I WANTED AND YOU SAID IT WAS AVAILABLE ACROSS APPS WHY AREN'T YOU FINDING IT WHEN I WANT TO USE IT

So the Google Maps now shows Lake Ontario as Lake America but the satellite image of the Whitehouse still shows the intact East Wing. Why would that be…?

Service, indeed! Make this chapter your finest hour in service to your fellow Oklahomans, Mr. Drummond.

This changes everything!

Don’t think this is as good as it gets. We can be do much more. Just listen to the speech and then help freedom ring. m.youtube.com/watch?v=smEq...

As a reader of Stars and Stripes during my time in the Air Force I could not agree more with Gen. Hertling’s assessment.

An excellent read for my Okie compadres! "Imagine Munson, Franklin, Drummond (and maybe Oklahoma City mayor David Holt, too) on the stump together, agreeing on any number of things that are neither left nor right, but dang good policy the whole state can get behind..." Vote Cyndi Munson in Nov!

Yet another wrong 80 year old dies! Can we get a more responsive Grim Reaper??? www.tmz.com/2026/08/26/t...

Sorry to learn of Dolly Parton's passing. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We certainly do not deserve dogs. But we made them from wolves so we are responsible for them as much as we made them look after us. We owe them.

I’ve been waiting for this bullshit! Keep Trump’s name off of everything and keep Dorie Miller’s name on CVN-81! www.cnn.com/2026/08/20/p...

Science!

Sherman, Texas has some serious road construction going on 24-7 on Highway 75. And it reminded me of something... I give you the Sherman Deathstar Trench Simulator.

Yup. We all knew.

I did not know that kittens were this into vinyl!

Vote! Every time! Vote!

For those of you in southeastern Oklahoma, here’s your chance! I'm attending Cyndi Munson for Oklahoma's event, “Durant Meet and Greet” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/cyndimunson/...

What Thom Hartmann sez!

What with all the controversy about Nolan's The Odyssey and historical accuracy, nobody has mentioned the problem with the IMAX 70mm version. SI units hadn't been invented yet! It should be referred to as the IMAX 3.68 Daktylos version. You're welcome.

It occurs to me that DJT is so desperate to be just like Putin that he started a war that he cannot end and that will bankrupt his country, just like Putin is doing in Ukraine. Putin must be so proud!

Well that was a hell if a game!

Can there be any remaining doubt? The president is a malicious MORON. First, the stolen election bullshit. Now, new tariffs on Canada because of wildfire smoke??? thehill.com/homenews/adm...

For what its worth... I just wrote my two senators and my congressman. While all 3 have their collective noses firmly up Trump's ass (and my former senator, Markwayne Mullin, is fully encased in his colon), I hope the volume of letters from my fellow travelers will give him pause. Do your duty!

And yes, the Republic is at risk. Y'all remember your duty!

It's official! Our President is a mentally ill, malignant narcissist, and a liar. But what else is new?

A little something to cleanse the palate.

I was sorry to see that Louise Lasser of Mary Hartman! Mary Hartman! fame has passed. MHMH was my gateway drug to Fernwood Tonight/America Tonight. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_...

Well… That was embarrassing.
