After seeing @NASA DART mission impact asteroid Dimorphos - what better movie to watch than 1951 sci-fi classic When Worlds Collide? I quite enjoyed it & thought Barbara Rush was excellent (met her years ago, lovely lady) & Chesley Bonestell designs & matte paintings were superb!

My video walking down main street of an Old West movie/TV set that is also a functioning town north of Joshua Tree! Pioneertown was built in 1946 by Hollywood actor/producers Roy Rogers, Dick Curtis & others. Gene Autry filmed here & many others! Watch: https://t.co/TY9yGMTt8q

So impressed by powerful words of Zelensky & by Ukraine's bravery in fighting against Putin's barbaric war. Ukraine's victories are inspiring every country dealing w/ threat of tyranny. There is NO inevitable slide into autocracy - you CAN defend democracy & stand up to bullies!

The Alex Theatre is one of my favorite Art Deco movie palaces in Los Angeles! Built in 1925, its design was inspired the Greco-Egyptian heritage of ancient Alexandria, Egypt. The striking neon-lit marquee was added in 1940. More photos in my IG reel here: https://t.co/RvwAEuvu33

Happy 45th Anniversary Voyager! Such an amazing achievement by @NASAJPL & entire Voyager team that these wonderful spacecraft are still exploring the universe 45 years after launch in 1977! Congratulations to NASA's longest-running & most beloved space mission! 🥳🥂 #Voyager

Very saddened by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II today. In turbulent times from WWII to the Cold War, 9/11 & the covid pandemic, Queen Elizabeth rose above politics to inspire others with her example of fortitude, grace & tireless public service. She will be greatly missed.🙏

So excited about what Europa Clipper will discover about Jupiter's icy moon Europa when it launches in 2024! Europa's vast sub-surface ocean is theorized to hold many times more water than all Earth's oceans combined - and could be an abode for life! #NASAJPL #WaterWorlds

I just love these two! Could anything be more wonderful than the music of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong? Their songs always put a smile on my face! Thank you @ArmstrongHouse for these delightful photos! 🎶❤️

Happy 75th Indian Independence Day! So proud that India, the world's largest democracy, has endured for 75 years! Yes, there have been challenges, but with democracy so rare in history, it's remarkable that a nation of over 1 billion people has made democracy work. #IndiaAt75 🇮🇳

Saddened by passing of wonderful Nichelle Nichols. In addition to her superb, ground-breaking role as Lt. Uhura on Star Trek, Nichols helped NASA recruit women & minority astronaut candidates in real life! Ad astra, Nichelle, you inspired us all. https://t.co/HB8QH0souU

On Memorial Day, we honor all who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedom & democracy. In the long span of human history, democracies have been rare. Our American republic has lasted over 245 years & it's thanks to those who defended it. We remember you always.🙏🇺🇸🗽

May the 4th be with you! Happy Star Wars Day! Still one of my favorite movies ever! I will never forget 2+ years ago when @JasonApuzzo & I saw Mark Hamill in person at screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. A wonderful occasion! Hamill was warm, funny & engaging - a delight!

Due to Elon Musk's apparent takeover of Twitter, I'm re-evaluating my already limited use of this platform. Thanks.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The outbreak of Russia's unjust war on Ukraine has me feeling like we're living in the 1940s again. Here's my IG post on George Dyson's excellent history "Turing's Cathedral" - with some thoughts on how to navigate tough times with confidence and clarity. https://t.co/6T2wbF4y5y

Important post by International Committee of the Red Cross @ICRC on Geneva Convention, which Russia has signed. It states civilians cannot be attacked, civilian infrastructure cannot be attacked, sick & wounded cannot be attacked. Russia has broken all this. #StandWithUkraine️
