"We are #Martians, we come in peace, take us to your feeders."
"To ... what?"
"We are not thrilled by your leaders, so..."
"You're sure you're #martians?"
"We have badges and credentials; we are here to serve you."
"Looks like a recipe book."

"You know why the 'Tea Party' ended up in a splash?"
"No #saucer?"

"What's the big deal - it's 2:00am?"
"A flying #saucer just landed."
"So?"
"It's Alien!"
"What did you think? It would be Swiss?"
"It's not that! They sent us back our plaque!"
"The 'Pionneer' plaque?"
"Yes, with annotations."
"Somebody pissed-off somebody!"
"You think?"

"Why did you call your book #atom?"
"Well, it's a big one, isn't it?"
"Sure, but it has nothing to do with physics."
"I know, but 'Volume One' was already taken, so A-tome had to be it, hence #atom."

"What are you doing, lying down on your back in the middle of the path?"
"Just waiting for the #hover broad."
" #hover BOARD, idiot!"
"Oh! Like #hover craft, then?😕"
"More like it, yes 🙄."

"OK, I give up, what is that?"
"Police Academy: we are teaching the new cops to #hover over the 'No King Day' crowd."
"Why?"
"It avoids the conflicts about urban cameras."
"🤔"

"So #androids are smarter than crashtest dummies..."
"Why?"
"The crashtest dummies cannot drive."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, but they can sing!"
"Only the Canadian version."

"Darn! It sure is #arid here! So dry, it is #unearthly!'
"Yep, as usual, Mick, only half right: we are in the Sahara, Mauritania, Earth."

An #unhearthly aroma seeps from the simmering pot of spaghetti sauce.
" #unearthly aroma? You cannot hear the neighbor yell in space, but you can smell?"
"It's Maria's sauce, it's heavenly!"
"But not #unhearthly, surely?"
"Heaven on earth."

"Hally, do you know why in space nobody can hear you yell?"
"The simple explanation is that space has to remain #unheartly quiet."

That's embarrassing: I was not even aware that such an event exited!
You both have fun.
Take some pics.

Hello Maria.
I just eased off social media - was too time consuming for little interest. Mainly Bluesky now.
It's been a great riding summer, in Italy and South West France: the two best regions for food in Europe!
I hope we will see great pictures next March? Enjoy the ride!

Looks good Maria! I can smell the aroma from here.
I’m back State side, ready for beta reader duty.
Best. Yves

#Abortion laws in #England are perfectly targeted: applies only to pregnant women.

Expect memorable characters and plot twists that will stay with you long after you've read the books.

The Curse of Sotkari Ta series features spacefaring alien civilizations, galactic war, dark empire, people with special abilities, intrigue, gritty space adventure, and spice.

There is absolutely nothing in the other Cabinet heads that qualify them for the job.

#GoodNews
These days, we can all do with some good news: simulations show that there is ONLY 50% chance that the #MilkyWay will collide with the #AndromedaGalaxy in 10 billion years.

And there was I, worrying.

I fear the day when they will ask 10(!) very strong questions!

Colonel Susannah Meyers was dismissed from her command at #Pittufik #SpaceBase for having expressed an honest opinion about the Greenland situation. Sorry to see an officer fired for demonstrating courage and dignity.

And to be clear: is the VP really in the chain of command?

And what the heck is a #situationship?
#CNN uses this expression to describe the bickering between the US and China. Are we inventing a new vocabulary specifically for #tradewars, so that it does not look too much like #war?

The #Cold. or the #Fear?
A well-equipped sniper today can hit a target at 3,500m. The distance from the Capitol to the Washington monument is 2 miles.
He sold enough #inauguration seats to fill the mall in that distance and the Secret Service would be stretched thin to cover it all.
So #Cold? #Fear?
