Watched the Trump–Musk bromance crash & burn yesterday—pure chaos and entertainment. Now just waiting to see if round two brings even more fireworks. We knew this would happen! No way two arrogant egomaniacs can be so close for long without imploding. 🍿 #Bluesky #Musk #Trump #Drama #SocialMediaWars

15 years ago in July 2009, we filmed Tino—our one-of-a-kind furry family cat—getting vacuumed without a care in the world. He shed lots of fur every summer! Named after Tino Martinez of the NY Yankees⚾️. We still miss him a lot. 💙🐾 #PetMemories #FurryFamily #Cat #BlueskyPets youtu.be/B_OKML_QRwI?...

Americans died and were injured in wars to keep us free. Today, it’s not tanks—it’s truth on the line. A convicted felon seeks unlimited power. The Law & its Officers should stand with the law-abiding, not the law-breaking. Democracy must prevail. #Democracy #RuleOfLaw #FreedomMatters #WeThePeople

I miss The West Wing—the soaring speeches, sharp minds, and President Jed Bartlet’s steady moral compass. Leadership could be smart, kind, and human. It wasn’t just a show; it was a blueprint for better leadership. We need that hope again. Democracy is worth protecting! youtu.be/3CPjWd4MUXs?...

Would you take a ride into space if given the chance? A real visit to the ISS and orbiting Earth, or wait for safer, family-friendly space vacations like a hotel stay in space? Not long ago, it was sci-fi, but soon, it could be reality. #SpaceTravel #ISS #SpaceTourism #FutureOfTravel #SciFiToReality

With reusable rockets & private space stations in our future, is space tourism truly becoming accessible? Is it for the rich or will everyday people have a chance? What’s your take on the future of space exploration? #SpaceTravel #PrivateSpace #BlueskyTalk #Space #Future #PublicSpace #NASA #Tourism

Sopranos Fans were stunned to learn Father Robert Sirico, brother of late actor Tony Sirico (Paulie), participated in the papal conclave that elected Pope Leo XIV. Sirico, a co-founder of the Acton Institute, was among the cardinals who picked the 1st American pope. #Pope metro.co.uk/2025/05/08/f...

With rising global tensions, reckless leaderships, and humans suffering & dying. I urge you to watch The Day After (1983), By Dawn’s Early Light (1990), and The Sum of All Fears (2002). These films feel less like fiction now. #NuclearWarning #Geopolitics #MustWatch #WhatCouldGoWrong #India #Pakistan

This quote from “The American President” (1995) hits harder today. If you’ve never seen it, listen to the speech—Just picture Trump. One big difference? Today our threat to democracy is real.

The Star-Spangled Banner - just one of our founding documents speaking louder today as we fight for our democracy from tyranny! Many were injured or died defending us - a lot still serve, in & out of uniform, upholding their sworn oaths. #Democracy #Freedom #America www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

U.S. Sen. Graham’s post about Trump being considered for Pope in a conclave. What next nominate for Sainthood? What’s wrong with this guy? My Aunt Markey (Sister Martha Ambrose) served faithfully until 1972. To families of those whose loved ones wore the cloth, this is deeply insulting! #Pope #Tump

The recent large-scale blackout in parts of Europe underscores the vulnerabilities of power grids. The U.S. is not immune to such risks, given its aging infrastructure. Why you should care! Proactive measures are essential to mitigate potential widespread outages. www.forbes.com/sites/ericma...

Rocky liked singing to music. He tried to match your voice best he could. The video was recorded 13 years ago in April. Member of our furry family & my friend passed from heart failure in 2014. The human in this video isn’t a Rock Star - the dog was! #Dog #FurryFamily #Pets youtu.be/1OSAt2vCbik?...

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, limits U.S. presidents to two terms. The shift from tradition to law followed Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four terms. The amendment aims to prevent any one individual from holding power indefinitely. #America #PresidentialTermLimits #Democracy #History

Nowadays with all of the uncertainty - Chill out, let’s all take a moment for ourselves to relax, breathe, and enjoy the day and regroup — maybe with a glass of iced tea. 🍹 Let’s slow down and savor the little things in life. #Relaxation #Chill #IcedTea #SlowDown #EnjoyTheMoment #America #Freedom

Did you know - Democracy doesn’t survive by accident? It only survives when regular people refuse to be silent, refuse to be divided, and refuse to give up. This is a decision we make every single day - to care, to act, and to defend each other. #Democracy #Freedom #WeThePeople #America #History

Remember your first HF ham radio contact with someone far away? Mine still feels like magic. My QSO was on 12-14-2021 at 04:09 UTC with Bill ZS6CCY in South Africa on 40m 7.163 MHz SSB. Distance from QTH in KY was 8,427 mi. Barefoot. Dipole Tell me about your first DX memory! #HamRadio #FirstContact

I was thinking about this article tonight after reading it and first contact👽. Then this thought flashed in my mind 💬 If aliens ever contact us, I hope it’s through an old ham rig with a cracked meter and a sticky VFO knob. Just feels right. #HamRadio #SpaceTalk www.bbc.com/news/article...
