And another day of additional troops, harmless memes, and letting others love what they love comes to a close:

“If the truth contradicts deeply held beliefs, that is too bad.” -- Hans Eysenck

Love what you love. Let others love what they love. “It's hard to imagine folks missing that in the show. But then, narrow-minded parochial tribalism is a helluva drug...It's OK not to like something. It's even OK to tell people why. It's not OK to tell them to not like it, and it's not OK to assume everything has to be made for you.”

“Morning is the best time to see movies.” -- Christopher Walken

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
