My plan yesterday was just to take a *quick* break from my continuing education, but I kinda ended up taking all day off to hang around here in the Twitterverse instead - and with my brother when he visited me at home.

I gotta hit the books today though, so I'll see yinz later!

Science-George I Tried Didn't I PUHT Federalist Musket🇺🇸 You just got a follow ❤️

PUHT Jon 🔬 Federalist Musket🇺🇸 Science-George funny, but the shows I watched as kid made by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson had some fantastic glimpses of what might come. And also Gene Rodenberry.

PUHT Jon 🔬 Federalist Musket🇺🇸 Science-George would probably agree that there are very few sci-fi movies that are intact, technically.
What say you, George?

Ugh, would love if some fauna got trapped in 6 million year old ice but that’s not gonna happen. Maybe extinct giant penguin?
