Lisa Kudrow was super fun on Space Force

Trump stole the name Space Force from me. Okay, I have no idea if he even came up with that name. It was originally called the Air Force Space Command and then later the U.S. Space Corps. Both sound like something from a Saturday Morning cartoon.

I had that idea from when I was a kid. The 1970s cartoon Starblazers(originally Space Battleship Yamato) featured a crew that was named the "Star Force," and I later came up with the idea of a "Space Force" based on that name.

Nothing.

Same stuff.

Oh jeez.

How many times?

Been reading news articles and Wikipedia articles. Reviewed the case of Tamir Rice, 12 year old African American boy with an obviously toy gun shot dead by a policeman a few years back. Policing in the US needs to change. NOW.

And meanwhile, US senator Rand Paul has been obstructing a bill against lynching. Read the wikipedia article on Emmett Till, 14 year old boy in the 1950s lynched in the South for talking to a white woman. Things haven't changed enough since then.

Queen of the South

How many times for what, sum1?

Yeah, I heard about that. Toy guns here in America are not allowed to be painted black for that reason. They have to be a bright color like red, orange, yellow, or green, or something else so that they are clearly visible as toys and not real firearms.

I agree, it's been nearly 30 years since Rodney King, and we're still seeing this. I have no idea what some policemen are thinking. Especially given everything that's happened over the past decade. It's like they're oblivious to it all. They do need to reform the criminal justice system.

I heard about the Rand Paul thing. He says he supports the idea of the bill, but he thinks it expands the definition too far to include bruising and scratching. He's a Libertarian, so he's usually wary of overreach. I'm not familiar with the details of the bill.

That was Rita, not me.

Don't make excuses for him. He's just a scumbag and he proves that every chance he gets.

How many times have you seen Friends? Most watched episode?

PhoenixRising

Too many times to count, Rita.

Most watched episode? Man, I think the one with all the poker, and the one with Ross' wedding, and the one with the embryos. Season 5 is my favorite because it's where Chandler and Monica's romance began. It also reminds me of a time when the world didn't suck.


Sorry.

I'm only repeating what I read.

I don't know either of those episodes but I've only seen a few so I liked the one where Rachel gives birth.
