Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

Trumps contentious "1776 Commission" has been dissolved.
The record breaking second impeachment of Donald Trump is moving forward.

We lost actress Mira Furlan this week, most memorable perhaps as Ambassador Delenn on "Babylon 5", though she also had a notable recurring role in "Lost".
The Flaming Lips put on a show which looks like it's straight out of an episode of the 1970's Buck Rogers with audience in private (and literal) bubbles in front of the stage.
