There are a lot of different videos of this going around. I think the NWS verification is redundant in this case. Yikes.

Preferably, yes. I donโ€™t think they have built anything yet though. Itโ€™s planned to be at least 3 times the size of the old East Wing.

Yeah that would get my attention. This was in Germany and honestly I never knew what to expect. Horse and rider? Okay thatโ€™s a data point.

That East Wing is at least 6 times bigger than the one he tore down.

4 years ago: you shouldnโ€™t take pictures while driving but what if someone rides a horse over you?

Iโ€™ll say it again; all recyclable containers must have the label attached with WATER SOLUBLE adhesive.

Of all things inspired by Budweiser at least this doesnโ€™t require bail, a paternity test or an emergency room.

I paid $2.87 for regular on Tuesday but everything is 15% higher or more now. Most I ever paid was $5 cash only on 9/12/2001 while driving (no planes in the air) from Detroit to NC for work. Thatโ€™s $9 in 2026 dollars. Didnโ€™t last long though.

Wake up, kids. This month in the Alt Rock Department at @pastemagazine.bsky.social I wrote about the New Radicals and the importance of having a shitty job, if only to know how far you can test the limits of the world.

In my day if you had a stroke you said โ€œI smell toastโ€, now you say โ€œwe should run the government like a businessโ€.

Snow is frustrating but ice is deadly. Lurking around the corner where you donโ€™t see it until itโ€™s too late.

A TORPEDO? Was the catapult out of order?
When was the last time a torpedo sunk a ship?
Donโ€™t answer that. I probably wasnโ€™t born yet (1959).

I like when people say that if I don't get into AI I'll be left behind, I love to be left behind, that's where going for ice cream lives.

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesnโ€˜t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.
