I just realized the mayor in the first Naked Gun movie is the mother of Tony in the Sopranos. 🤯

Cold rain for most this AM. Yancy, Mitchell & High Country Co's continue Winter WX advisory. A brief mix of cold snow / rain may be noted at times in areas along and N of I-40 zone outside the mountains. No big ticket accumulations. Rain ends later today. #wncwx #avlwx #boonewx #cltwx #hkywx

47 and a half old Tim now gladly waits for SNL on Sunday morning YouTube.

When you look at the sale price of WB to Netflix you almost have to laugh. I feel like it's Dr. Evil just making up numbers.

Watching the Giants figure out which way is the Atlantic or the Hudson or Manhattan or Long Island is frustrating to watch and really speaks to the public's lack of understanding maps and location/geography. #HardKnocks

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Little light snow falling this evening. #avlsnow

@phillies-therapy.com @mattgelb.bsky.social I feel like Phillies are faced with "running it back" and signing JT & Schwarber vs. a fresh start with new leadership in the clubhouse and some new faces with new signings and/or trades. I feel like Bryce could easily fill the void of leadership.

I've gotten several compliments on this. 😂 #zippermerge

I didn't realize this occurred last week. Catastrophic flooding. It seems like a tropical cyclone organized nearly right over Sri Lanka and stalled.

I was told by Steven Spielberg the Cotopaxi ended up in the Gobi Desert. 🙃

AI is not all bad. I had this idea for my mother-in-law's older Thanksgiving recipes.

'Tis the season for showing this evergreen Thanksgiving Eve video/still.

TEN MONTHS IN:

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

The unemployment rate is up.

Oh interesting. I wonder if any of this imagery will be posted online.

They flew over my house at 3200 ft about an hour ago and I was like what the heck? I had to see what it was all about.

Looks like some post-Helene surveying of the French Broad and Swannanoa is going on today.

Yep that's about right. Oh how the Man Show has evolved over the decades.

Cloudflare outage destroys all human communication except Bluesky, this is the weirdest sci-fi scenario I’ve ever seen

I saw Predator Badlands last night. Straight-up fun action movie. Unlike Michael Bay Transformer movies, you can actually *see* the quick-moving fight/battle sequences. Lots of cool gadgets for the Predator that makes me yearn for a Batman (movie) that accesses his utility belt more frequently.

I'm beginning to see red glow appear in the northern sky.
