#Bluey fan-boy idea

If there is a season 4 of #Bluey, the series will be ten years old by the time it comes out. Perhaps the characters should age with their audience?

I'd love to see the Heelers navigating life with Bingo and Bluey as teen-agers. That would freshen up the series, especially with many new faces in the production crew.

They say it'll be ready in October. I'll believe it when I see it, and then I'll say, "It's about f***ing time!" (For 20+ years, our buses arriving in #Madison would dump us in the mud on the side of the street.)

I was torn between Mandela Barnes and Francesca Hong in this primary (I also like Kelda Roys), and I was on the verge of voting for Mandela.

I'm glad he made this announcement before we made the trip to early vote...

Minnesota passed a law banning AI #nudification, the generation of fake nude images of famous people.

#ElonSchmuck is suing the state over that law.

If he thinks that nudification is OK, then he must be OK with thousands of fake nude pix of #ElonSchmuck flooding social media feeds around the world.

There's a special place in hell for people who run loud lawn-mowing machinery before 9am.

They booked the killer for manslaughter, but this sounds more like vehicular homicide to me.

"..Rapp and a fellow bicyclist were riding on a local road when Medina passed them in his car, stopped, and drove his vehicle in reverse. Medina then hit Rapp.."

I lived in #Philadelphia for two years in the 90s, but this is the kind of thing that gives that town a special place in my heart.
