The Salesforce founder declared he “fully supported” President Trump and thought National Guard troops should patrol San Francisco streets. He gushed about sitting across from Trump at a Windsor Castle state dinner,…

Solar Opposites comes to an end next week after six seasons, and while we’ll miss its found family of raunchy aliens, we are also dying to see how “the Wall” ends. If you’re a fan of the show, you know the high-stakes drama constantly swirling around the population of tiny people eking out an existence inside a bedroom wall in the Shlorpians’ suburban home. Over Solar Opposites‘ run, the humans—transformed thanks to a shrink ray wielded by the callous Yumyulack, voiced by Sean Giambrone—have battled not just the perils of being an inch tall but also the extreme emotions that…
