So I'm on 78 going to work this morning...

 
Okay, so maybe it wasn't me, but I woulda freaked th fuck out if it happened in front of me. Dashcam footage captured the incredible moment the pilot navigated the tricky landing – using Interstate 78 in Pennsylvania as a makeshift runway. The plane suddenly started experiencing engine trouble not long after departing Solberg, New Jersey, en route to Indiana.
The Michigan pilot, 65, reportedly didn’t want to land on the highway but realised he had no choice to save himself and his passenger. A witness said the pilot looked calm despite the high-stakes landing.
Guy actually did one helluva job putting it down the way he did, but I'll betcha a buck he got drunk as fuck after the dust settled. And - by the way - if anything like this ever happens in front of you, do NOT stop behind the vehicle. Go around it and then pull over. Everybody behind that plane probably stayed there 'ti lunctime. Juss' sayin'...

There - now maybe it's time to get one for yourself?

I don't know what it is now, but it sure as fuck ain't the Jersey I grew up in...

Now don't get me wrong. I've known more than my share of gay guys and gals growing up, and it was never a big deal. I've worked alongside gay men and women throughout my life. No big to me, right?
 Why is it now, and why are gay people - people who know exactly who and what they are - aligning themselves with people who have no friggin' idea who they are? Nobody (with the exception maybe of undercover cops) pretends to be gay. I get it. But guys pretending to be gals and vice-versa just doesn't fly with me. Hey - do whatever the fuck you want - just don't make a stage show about it, and don't make me watch.
And besides, what exactly would the trans-specific crafts be pray tell? I don't need to know, and I sure as fuck don't want to know, either. Biggest problem I have with shit like this is if kids will be exposed to it. That being the case, why are kids - only kids - featured on the flyer? To my knowledge, Moorestown has always been a blue-collar town. Did I miss some kinda epiphany there? 
Juss' sayin'. And ain't sayin' no more...

Here's another reason to hate the Dodgers...

Errol Segal, the 81-year-old die-hard fan who has held season tickets for a staggering 50 years, found himself in the ultimate pickle when the team essentially told him his money was good, but his flip phone wasn’t.
Despite half a century of loyalty - long before the era of QR codes - the Dodgers flat-out refused to provide Segal with paper tickets for the 2026 season, effectively shutting him out of games.
Holding up a relic of a flip phone that definitely doesn’t support the MLB Ballpark app, Segal told local reporters that he doesn’t have an iPhone. In fact, he doesn’t know how to use a computer, either. 
 

An iron-fisted “digital-only” policy seems to be the issue - which the Dodgers refused to waive even after Segal offered to pay extra for the privilege of a paper ticket.
In with the new and fuck the old. Bad policy. Fuck the Dodgers...

Here's how they pulled off that rescue...

 
This is from the California Post - The US rescued a missing F-15E airman deep inside Iran with an incredibly complex and daring mission that involved SEAL Team 6, a CIA ruse, a hastily constructed forward air strip in hostile territory, and patrols of friendly aircraft that gave the Air Force colonel cover.
A life-or-death race between US and Iranian forces to find the “seriously injured” weapons officer outside Isfahan over two days culminated in the crew member’s extraction by America’s most elite commandos and a firefight with local militias that were hunting for him.
The unnamed officer, who was shot down on Good Friday in southwestern Iran, hid out in the Zagros Mountains and managed to climb a 7,000-foot ridge to evade capture for 36 hours with just a handgun for defense while American MQ-9 Reaper drones pounded nearby Iranian forces with missiles if they got close to his position.
A US Air Force landing strip was set up close to the city, which houses many of Iran’s missile and army bases, nuclear facilities, and the last of its fleet of F-14 fighter jets.
Two of the aircraft — believed to be MC-130J Commando IIs, specialized, high-tech transport planes — became stuck at the forward airfield in Iran, and three more aircraft were dispatched to pick up the US forces left stranded there, according to the Times.
The two MC-130Js — each worth around $100 million — were demolished in place so as not to fall into enemy hands.

If they're not working, where are they?

 
It's a safe bet that most seniors here in Florida who aren't working (at least the guys, anyway) are either at a bar, playing golf or asleep on the couch with the TV on Fox news. That being said, for a growing share of Americans, retirement no longer starts at 65.
This map shows where people aged 65 and older are still working across U.S. states, based on 2024 data from the U.S. Census Bureau via FinanceBuzz. About 22% of Americans 65+ remain in the workforce, but the share climbs to nearly one-third in some states. The gap highlights how cost of living, job availability, and shifting retirement systems are reshaping when - and whether - Americans stop working.
The New England states of Vermont and New Hampshire (both 28.6%) lead the country in the number of seniors still working, followed by South Dakota at 27.6%.

Do you feel a draft? They do...

A little-noticed clause in sweeping changes to Germany’s military service policy has caused uproar after it emerged that the law requires men aged up to 45 to get permission from the armed forces before any significant stay abroad, even in peacetime.
The legislation, which went into effect on 1 January, aims to bolster the military and demands all 18-year-old men fill out a questionnaire to gauge their suitability to serve in the armed forces, but stops short of conscription.
If the “modernised” model fails to pull in enough recruits, parliament will be compelled to discuss the reintroduction of compulsory service, the defence minister, Boris Pistorius, said as the legislation passed the lower house of the Bundestag in December.
The fine print, which went largely under the radar until a media report called attention to it this week, says men aged 17 to 45 would have to apply for authorisation to leave Germany for more than three months.

Why are we still 'paying them for us to protect them- - and from who? Ukraine should have been part of NATO but wasn't. I thought the whole premise behind forming NATO was for the European countries to band together to keep the Soviets/Russia in check. What did Mother Russia do? It attacked the one country in the region tha was not a member of the club. Fuck NATO. We don't need so many bases over there anyway. Let 'em pay their own freight for once.

The ability that some people have to be able to look at something as mundane as her firing and find humor in it is a gift that I wish I had. I've always appreciated Lovett's twisted take on life. 'Well that would more than, wouldn't it'...

I can honestly say that I have never eaten anything that came from a Subway shop. I did go in to one about 15 years ago in Virginia when I was on a road trip. All I wanted was something fast to fuel me for the rest of the trip. 
The friggin' Patel behind the counter didn't speak much English and I'm not as fluent in Hindi or whatever fuckin' babblin' shit that was her native tongue, so she kept asking me unintelligable nonsense questions, to the point where I got so pissed off I walked out. That's my ONE Subway experience. 
Subway has over 20,000 U.S. locations. Wanna guess what percentage of subway franchisees are owned and/or operated by Indians - and I don't mean the horse ridin', bow-and-arrow Tonto motherfuckers? 35%. God Bless America...

Sometimes it feels like a million years ago, and then again at times it seems like it was just yesterday. It's hard to look back at the insanity that drove everything we did around that COVID bullshit between lockdowns and vaccines that weren't vaccines and stymulus monies and the masks and WTF were people thinking hoarding fuckin' toilet paper? 
If we didn't get some manner of take-away from that while mishigas - if didn't learn from the whole clusterfuck, than we really are the idiots our so-called leaders think we are.

California’s fuel crisis has reached a shocking new milestone as diesel blows past $8 a gallon in San Francisco - the highest price ever recorded in any U.S. city.

The average price of the fuel – used to power everything from trucks to industrial machinery – sat at a statewide $7.67 per gallon Sunday, according to the American Automobile Association, also the most Californians have ever paid.

Everybody gets Spam, but do you know where it eminates from?


Spam (The Meat) isn't what we're talking aout here. Hormel Foods introduced Spam in 1937. The name was chosen through a contest; the winner, Kenneth Daigneau (the brother of a Hormel VP), was awarded $100 for the name, which is a portmanteau of "spiced ham."
 

Spam (Junk Email) is what we mean. The term for unsolicited repetitive messages was inspired by the 1970 Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch. In the sketch, a group of Vikings drowns out all conversation by loudly and repetitively singing "Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam..." This mirrored how early internet users felt when their chat rooms or newsgroups were flooded with unwanted, repetitive text.

And we think we don't have enough housing? Well...

All across China, vast cities of silent high-rises stretch across the horizon – empty, unfinished, and uninhabited. These so-called “ghost cities” are haunting reminders of the country’s breakneck economic rise over the last 30 years – and the bumpy landing that followed.
No country has ever built so much so quickly and it means ghost cities – also known as metropolises that have yet to come to life – lie in every corner of China. Dozens of skyscrapers pop up overnight and chilling pictures show the vacant – and sometimes half-finished structures – which have been deserted by developers. Rows of post-apocalyptic housing estates tower over visitors – and impressive attractions and shopping malls gather dust without any residents or tourists stepping foot inside.
 
 
Meanwhile, Estimates of the homeless population in China vary wildly, ranging from official figures of around 2 million to broader, analyst-driven estimates exceeding 24 million as of mid-2025 due to youth job crises and economic pressures. Some researchers even consider up to 300 million people, including rural migrant workers with precarious housing, to be vulnerable. 
 Key Aspects of homelessness in China include surging Numbers: Recent data suggests a massive surge in homelessness due to worsening employment prospects and high living costs, with some reports citing up to 24.1 million homeless by May 2025.
And them there are the Invisible Homelessness: The "visible" homeless population on streets is often strictly managed, relocated, or returned to their hometowns by authorities, making the problem less visible in major cities.
