Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Carl Sagan
Donny BDonny B

With #SCOTUS trying to nerf the #EPA via the Clean Air Act, I wanted to rage like many on here. But then I rewatched Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot again. And I am calmer. “Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.” https://t.co/IZdTgS7BRb

Max Brooks' the Extinction Parade Volume 2: War

Max Brooks
Donny BDonny B

@LethalityJane There is a reason Max Brooks gives talks to various military commands and is a senior fellow at the Modern War Institute at West Point. World War Z was never about the zombies. They were a “something” to show the level of preparation throughout our society.

Words of Hope: Love

King James Version
Donny BDonny B

@itsme_liane @LethalityJane I always love how the King James Version of the 10 Commandments says “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Wait, so there are other gods and he doesn’t want to share? Not: “don’t bother with other gods, because there are no other ones: I’m the only one.”

The Alchemist: A Graphic Novel

Paulo Coelho
Donny BDonny B

@thatsassysgl My current go-to recommendation is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I gave my daughter a copy when she arrived at her first duty station in the Navy. Sent highlighters as well so she could take notes in it. Great book when about to set on a new path.

@LittleMissLizz Kevin Smith’s Dogma - Bethany: What's he like? - Metatron: God? Lonely. But funny. He's got a great sense of humor. Take sex for example. There's nothing funnier than the ridiculous faces you people make mid-coitus. https://t.co/HTbrom5VlH

Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods before Me

Jonathan Fox
Donny BDonny B

@Stonekettle I love how "the word" says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." So, you're saying that there are other gods out there, but you just don't like competition? Begs the question if the whole all-powerful, all-knowing thing is just marketing for the god of carpenters. https://t.co/zGBnYioOYm
