It's kind of eerie that Perseverance tweets in the first person, but I like it. Very HAL. #NASAPerseverance
The"How The Ghosts Stole Christmas" episode of the X Files is so satisfying this year. Clear 2020 holiday mood.

Thank you, TCM, for showing House on Haunted Hill tonight. Vincent Price seems so comforting after this week.
