Incredible job playing live music you would assume is more produced than performed if you listened to it blind. There was live loop setup they had to do before launching into some of the songs

Seafood restaurant in Lauderdale: how are your crabcakes? (Internally Screams in Maryland): Good, thanks! I willingly do this to myself every time, in fairness

Crabcakes and cole slaw on a plate, the lighting is harsh because of my seat I'm actually at an outdoor bar area that is very nice but the crabcakes seem almost entirely filler except for the occasional faint texture of shell to remind you that there is actually some crab in there

Virginia Tech sent out a survey about what is important in the search for the next university president

Two items:

Distinguished record of success in industry, government, or a related field.

Entrepreneurial / Innovative

Both marked NOT IMPORTANT! Get that shit out of here! You're not running a business, the only thing you should be worried about running is the dang ball

ON AUGUST 12, 2026, THE WORLD

OF GRAVITY, AND NASA IS FULLY
AWARE AND GEARING UP FOR IT.

conspiracytheoriesus The Earth will lose gravity for 7 seconds and NASA is already secretly preparing for it.

Imagine this: oceans lifting into the sky, objects floating in midair, people clinging to anything they can grab and all of it lasting exactly 7 seconds that could change everything.
