Some bacteria have "devolved" to a point where they are scarcely even alive anymore, while some viruses (known as giant viruses) seem to be very much alive, at least compared to other viruses! The boundary between living and non-living is getting...messy.
Is anyone surprised?
Some clips from the original (1978-79) "Battlestar Galactica" series. The Mormon influences are obvious in these three excerpts. Most clearly in the first one. But note that the evil guy is called Iblis, the Muslim name for Satan!
He looked like such a nice guy. Has Father Eleftheria finally lost it? Too much Messiah complex and Gog-Magog end times stuff in this one. Hopefully the apocalyptic stuff is just click bait.
I suppose we´ll know when our man passes his "last spiritual test" in two weeks, during the Easter holidays. Stay tuned. Because, you know, we´ll all be here post-Easter, too!

There are *still* people who think every Trump U-turn is just "the art of the deal", "4D chess", "a deliberate strategy of deception", et cetera. Yeah, I used to think so, too. Say ten years ago. Maybe it was true...back then. Today, I think it´s obvious that The Man has lost it.
Biden was (of course) senile, but Trump seems to be both senile and crazy. Biden´s gaffes could also be countermanded, while nobody seems able to reign in the Donald. The only "positive" thing is that Trump´s madness might - just might - scare somebody. Delcy Rodriguez, perhaps? It certainly seems to have scared the beejesus out of Denmark! By contrast, Biden´s decline made the US look weak. But it seems the Iranian regime is calling the Don´s bluff.
Things might get really colorful from here on. And I don´t just mean the oil prices...
A lot of self-proclaimed Christians are going apeshit over this quote by Netanyahu just now: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good." Not only is the quote taken out of context, they double down when this is pointed out to them.
Just another day on the Low IQ Interwebs.
[Added later:] There are also conspiracy theories about Netanyahu having died, including a (perhaps ironic) X account which purportedly tracks his movements to see if he really is dead?! I´m beginning to *really* suffer from Internet fatigue, and I don´t think it has anything to do with my age...
