Best post I've seen all day #Inauguration2025
On David Lynch, this captures it all perfectly.
I owe so much of my growth and expansion to his vision and what he showed us about the world. Beyond his films, it was the validation of his pure joy of life and his compassion for humanity.
I always joked that I never wanted to see this day come.

Had to confirm and reconfirm this but not yet falling for Trump posting a video of Jeffrey Sachs refering to Netanyahu as a "deep, dark son of a bi**".

Seeing some posts that David Lynch’s house is on the evacuation zone in the Hollywood Hills area and that a new fire may have started right next to it.
Lynch, my favorite person, was diagnosed with emphysema last year.
Not at ease until we hear he's all right.

The night just outside my bedroom window 😳
The Sun set in NYC just an hour ago and we can now see the Waxing Moon, Jupiter, Neptune and Saturn. The sky is that blue and magical.

If you're outside, or have a window looking northeast, guess what the brightest star in the sky is? No, not a Chinese spy drone, it's Mars! Yes. Can't miss it, has a reddish glow. It's spectacular.
Added bonus, for me, is to find my two darlings, Castor and Pollux, right above.

Stunning and very credible.
The message left by the driver of the cybertruck detonated in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on Jan 1 where he claims the drones spotted on the East Coast are of Chinese origin and constitute the most dangerous threat to US national security that's ever existed.

But neighbor asked what I made, and I sent them this, to which they replied, oh, I would love to have some of that for later 😄
It's wild rice topped with chickpeas seasoned with shawarma, served w arugula, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and feta.
To top it all off, pomegranate jelly mixed with tahini.
