Can't figure out the best place to put this.

 

I got notice from GoFundMe today that they refunded my donation to Cindy Fox's (#89) medical bills. I've never had that happen before. The GoFundMe shows her at 0 dollars. Any donate and get this notice? Anyone know why?

Did she ever question The Science, criticize Pope Fauci, or point out that the Emperor has no clue?

Maybe contact GoFundMe and inquire as to the reason? Just a thought.

Just saw Close Encounters again a few weeks ago; it's one of my all-time favorite movies, and those effects - as well as Blade Runner and 2001 - aged surprisingly well.  Never realized they were all done by the same guy.  Man was a genius in his craft, clearly.

R.I.P.: Bob Saget, beloved TV dad on ‘Full House’ and ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ host, dies at 65.

Fractures all around the head from a simple fall? One account said his fractures were like that of an unrestrained person in a real bad car accident. Fractures like this don't seem consistent with someone that said "ouch, i think I will go to bed now". We will never know.

Day-um.

 

He was an absolute comic genius.  His take on a Manners Guide was hilarious.

 

RIP Mr. O'Rourke.

Think what evil creeps liberals would be if their plans to enfeeble the individual, exhaust the economy, impede the rule of law, and cripple national defense were guided by a coherent ideology instead of smug ignorance.
