MGM just sitting there on the sidelines smiling quietly, gently scratching the head of a purring “2001”.

Don’t forget how:

"I’m NOT voting for an entire apparatus of executive government with thousands of employees, I’m ONLY voting for a charismatic messiah godking, because I’m still little more than a medieval peasant looking to be mesmerized.

Then if fascists take over the nation (again) and the most vulnerable among me suffer from it (again and again and again), that’s not MY problem. While (somehow) fancying myself as enlightened and special and pure. I’m at the center of my goddamned Universe!"

The Supreme Court, and how republicans effectively staged a coup of it in 2016 by turning their back on Merrick Garland, then packed it with corrupt right-wing zealots? “Not MY problem!”… until it is, but by then it’s way too late.

Starring… a de-aged Brad Douriff, in the role of a lifetime!

Can any mere man wield such ferocious, blinding power?
A terrifyingly, beautiful thing to behold. But only just a glance.
I’m scared, feel like… like an Upper Neolithic man witnessing Nikolai Tesla inside his Faraday cage, as the bright blue electric current crackles and arches all around him.

The red chair of death… to the lumbar region.

It could be broken down into a couple of further categories somewhere in the middle:

1. Where probes have landed - Venus, Moon, Mars, Titan, a couple of asteroids/comets.
2. Where probes have only flown past - Mercury, a few asteroids/comets, Jupiter and its’ main moons, Saturn and its’ moons (except Titan, see above), Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ultima Thule (now officially named 486958 Arrokoth).

EDIT: on further thought, there’s another one in between those two.
Where probes have orbited - Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.

Back when Australia was still remote and exotic, before Crocodile Dundee even, a lot of people back in the day thought he sang:
“He just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich”,
which would have also made for a fantastic lyric in a very silly way.

I don’t know… I think she zoomed past the potato and plowed straight into the ambrosia salad.

Witness me, honey, here, hold my sandwich. Hey kids… KIDS! Settle down back there, jeez… pay attention, we’re about to ride all shiny and chrome.

“AWESOME!”

Did somebody input those “life in the year 2000” drawings from the good ole Queen Victoria days, plus “gators”, into the AI image generator?

Where’s the mullet, with Van Halen and Aerosmith and Skynyrd?

The Fellowship Of The Whale, a Darren Aronofsky film.

Better watch out for the long arm of 1/4 of the law.

Spin Up or Spin Down?

Man my brain is toast.

Do… erm… gummies have anything to do with it?

Like the old pun goes:
Crossing (sea)gulls across the state lion for immortal porpoises.

Don’t forget millions upon millions of low-information, low-empathy voters and non-voters who let it happen, many who still lazily believe that corporations are our friends, that “what’s good for walmart and Exxon is good for 'Murica”, that they are still the client and not the product, and the far-reaching implications of this.
