A bad first day at Flight School...
This 'shocking' (yeah - I hate using superlatives but that one is just so friggin' appropriate) video shows a small plane as it crash lands in Los Angeles parking lot.
Dashcam video captured the moment a small plane slammed into a power line and crashed into a California parking lot. The pilot, who was the only one on board, survived and was taken to the hospital. It was his first solo flight.
Ouch...

Kids - they don't make 'em like they usta...
Sybil Ludington heard the messenger at her family's door. Her father – a militia colonel – had a problem: his men were scattered across 40 miles of rainy farmland. No phones. No telegraph. Just muddy roads and a ticking clock. So she swung onto her horse, Star. No lantern. No escort. A stick in her hand to bang on shutters. And a rainstorm that turned every trail into a river. "The British are burning Danbury! Rally at Ludington's!" Home after home. Town after town. She rode all night – Carmel. Mahopac. Kent Cliffs. Farmers shook off sleep, grabbed muskets, and disappeared into the dark.
By dawn? Four hundred men stood ready. Paul Revere gets the poem. But Sybil rode twice as far. Through worse weather. At half his age. With no "one if by land, two if by sea" – just a girl, a horse, and a whisper that became a shout. The British took Danbury anyway. But the militia Sybil raised fought them the next day at Ridgefield. And the story? Almost lost to history until the 1900s. A statue of her now sits in Carmel, New York. Star has one too. But no statue can quite catch what that night actually was:
A soaking-wet teenager, alone on unknown roads, refusing to let her town vanish while she was still awake. History remembers the men who wrote the reports. Sometimes the bravest rider never signed her name.
This is the most comfortable sneaker that
I've found in a while, and I found it online.
Can we not all admit it - Madonna is a skank...
Madonna, in her never-ending thirst for relevance, made a surprise return to the stage last Friday night after being brought out by Sabrina Carpenter during her second weekend headlining Coachella. Dressed like the hooker she wishes she were, the 67-year-old usta-be pop icon joined Carpenter toward the end of the performance, marking 20 years since her own headlining set at the California festival in 2006, and her age was showing. WTF was she thinking wearing that?
Carpenter’s show had already been stacked with cameo moments before Madonna’s arrival. A shirtless Terry Crews appeared mid-set, referencing his role in “White Chicks” and briefly singing Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.”
Madonnas eternal search for the fountain of youth is taking it's toll on her. 4,207 cosmetic surgeries later, she looks nothing like the semi-hottie she was when she burst on the scene almost 50 years ago.
Nowadays, she looks like that creepy old lady from the movie Sunset Boulevard
than she does any semblence of her youthful self.

FUCK - somebody's shooting somebody - grab the wine!!!
WASHINGTON - Duck, cover, and grab the wine! A woman was caught on camera blissfully snatching bottles of wine during the chaotic aftermath of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. While throngs of reporters and other guests fled the Washington Hilton ballroom, an unknown blonde woman wearing posh black fur went straight for a table to stockpile booze.
Because the shooting took place early on during the salad portion of the marquee dinner, there was an abundance of wine left abandoned at tables across the ballroom. The woman’s identity is not immediately clear, and it’s not apparent whether she was a journalist or some other guest.
Footage of the wine grab quickly went viral. But netizens were torn whether snatching the wine was in poor taste given what could’ve been a tragic evening if the shooter wasn’t stopped, or a fiscally prudent move given the high price tag of the swanky dinner.
“So, there you have press members STEALING wine bottles: this is who the press is!
Repugnant!” one user wrote on X, showing a video of the wine-loving attendee.
This is the most comfortable sneaker that
I've found in a while, and I found it online.
So - how they gonna get the oil out with all this bullshit going on...
According to reports, Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz – the narrow waterway that once carried a fifth of global oil and gas – has collapsed, with only three ships able to slip through in the past 24 hours. The International Energy Agency calls the strait’s closure “the biggest supply shock in history” – worse than the 1970s oil crises and Russia’s gas cut-off combined.
Energy markets are reeling as oil companies scramble for any route that doesn’t run through Hormuz. Thankfully, a few such alternatives do exist for fuel-starved countries desperate to bail their citizens out:
EAST–WEST PIPELINE (SAUDI ARABIA)
Saudi Arabia’s 745-mile line can pump up to 7 million barrels a day from the Gulf to the Red Sea.
HABSHAN–FUJAIRAH PIPELINE (UAE)
This 220-mile shortcut sends Abu Dhabi’s crude straight to the Gulf of Oman, bypassing Hormuz. Operated by ADNOC and commissioned in 2012, the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP) pipeline has a capacity of about 1.5 to 1.8 million bpd. Oil loadings at Fujairah, however, have been affected by drone attacks since the Iran war started at the end of February.
KIRKUK–CEYHAN PIPELINE (IRAQ–TURKEY)
Iraq’s northern route to the Mediterranean is sputtering back to life after a two-year freeze. The pipeline runs from Kirkuk to Turkey‘s Mediterranean port of Ceyhan via the Kurdistan region. It reopened last September following an interim deal between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government. It’s currently pushing about 170,000 barrels a day, with promises to hit 250,000, after Iraq’s national oil company SOMO signed export contracts via Turkey, Jordan and Syria.
GOREH–JASK PIPELINE (IRAN)
Tehran’s potential lifeline runs to the new Jask terminal on the Gulf of Oman, with a 1 million barrel daily capacity. The construction of the terminal is not fully complete, but a loading from Jask was tested in 2024, the IEA said.

How is this even remotely possible?
This is why it's almost impossible to believe anything you read on the internet. Take daycare - that's only if the parents, or in a lot of families these days (like my next door neighbor) a grandparent watches the kid (s). As for housing, how - and why - is that even factored in to the equation? That figure assumes a housing cost - rent or mortgage - of nearly $ 1,000.00 a month. If the kid lives with the parent, the actual cost is zip. How does a kid rack up $1,500.00 a year in travel expenses - especially until the kid's old enough to drive themselves? Again - shouldn't be factored in.
Health insurance for a kid costs $ 1,500.00 a year? Okay - maybe, but the parents would be better off putting that money in a cookie jar. Again - a seemingly bullshit number.
See what I mean? Imagine being so fuckin' stupid - or gullible - to buy in to the premise that it cost that much to keep a kid until he or she is old enough to get kicked out of he house. Juss' sayin'...
MANdatory toys for the 'Florida Man' in all of us...
A great pair of jeans for under $ 15.00 bucks?
And they're great pants, too. Go figure.
Rustler makes a great pair of pants for a ridiculously low price.
See for yourself - there's plenty of styles and sizes

The best argument for an East Wing Ballroom?
The gunman who opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night has been identified as Cole Allen of Torrance, Calif. - with President Trump calling him a likely “lone wolf whack job” who “looked pretty evil.” The 31-year-old, identified by federal law enforcement sources, was arrested after allegedly entering the Washington Hilton hotel and charging toward the ballroom where Trump and roughly 2,500 guests had assembled.
The gunfire broke out near the event’s indoor security screening area just after 8:30 p.m. - as salad was being served. The Secret Service rushed Trump out of the room as members of his cabinet ducked under tables before they too were evacuated.

Trump hosted a press conference at the White House shortly after the incident, joined by first lady Melania Trump, who appeared on the verge of tears when her husband mentioned prior assassination attempts.
“There was a tremendous amount of love and coming together I watched,” the president said. “I was very, very impressed by that.” Trump revealed that he heard the gunshots but was not immediately aware of the danger.

Jimmy Kimmel used his Monday-night monologue to sneer at President Donald Trump’s Iran diplomacy, and in the process said more about himself than he probably intended. The punchline was naturally not intended to be funny. It was that, in Kimmel’s view, the repressive Iranian regime holds moral superiority over the president of the United States. Kimmel told his audience, “We are on week eight of Trump’s little excursion into the Middle East,” before mocking the president’s announcement that Iran had agreed to terms and that oil was flowing again via the Strait of Hormuz.
