Musk is controversial in many respects, but he’s a visionary+doer while most of the rest of the world consists of talkers (all of us here included). His achievements speak for themselves, and he’s done all this without a bunch of dead bodies.

There is almost no scenario by which the Queen Mary will be a viable, economically profitable project, especially considering the quarter-billion dollars needed to refurbish it.

Too bad Detroit never pushed propane-fueled cars

The Civic driver was in a hurry to drive his daughter to gymnastics class, and being a great dad and all, wanted to show her how to stick a landing.

If J-Lo was Taylor Swift, this would be guaranteed material for her next album/song.

To be fair, lots of people use words they don’t fully grasp the meaning and (more importantly) impact of all the time. Pretty much anyone who swears or cusses does that. And if you’re among the holiest of people who have never sworn, then good for you (but you’re more likely lying).

You may be suffering from PTSD... Post-Trump Stress Disorder

We lost our rescue GSD two years ago, but for 9 years prior to that, used to supplement her dog food with $5 Costco rotisserie chickens. I know the greasy skins weren’t good for her, so ate those myself. Costco chickens plus Arby’s roast beef (sandwiches) were always her favorites.

Arguing with a police officer and then saying ‘What you gonna do?’ is incredibly stupid. Stupid actions often beget stupid reactions, unfortunately.

Cool clip, but it also evokes a feeling of “NOOOO! Think of the children... or at least the (carpet laying) gravity bombs!”

“... Why No Human Should Have the Legal Right to Kill”

Good thing the Porsche didn’t take out the supports of the water tower.

Sorry, but if sitting/squatting at the base of the Statue isn’t allowed for others, why should it be allowed for Okoumou? If I was an officer, I would explain (politely) that it’s unsafe and not allowed, and ask her to please come down. If she refused, I’d ask her a few more times and also mention she will be arrested…

Have you ever played in a yard with a Border Collie who has a ball (in its mouth) and doesn’t want to give the ball back, so you try to chase after it?

I haven’t done it yet, but on my bucket list is to take a Quokka selfie (in Australia). Is that wrong? :-)

What, no love for ‘The Shawshank Redemption’?

“He was a huge white man with icy blue eyes.”

Are you talking about Daario Naharis? He wasn’t a Dothraki, but a former member of the Second Sons, who got to enjoy friends-with-benefits status with Queen Dany. If you recall, she ditched him at the end of Season 6 because he would be a liability to her in Westeros, so she left him as a caretaker (keep-the-peace…
