In 1971, the LA Dept. of Airports still had high hopes that an international airport would be built in Palmdale.

This promo is like something out of The Simpsons. Left to right, you have busy LAX, then Ontario, then regional Van Nuys, then bare-ass tumbleweed desert in Palmdale.

I said I'd run 10k this year, didn't expect to do it so early on.
I didn't care about time just wanted to prove I could do it. My splits were actually better then my first few 5ks so happy with that.

It was horrific and I hated so obviously already planning my next one to beat my time 😂

It's called EXPOSURE to Music, blockers.

If you're never EXPOSED to a huge variety of music, some of your neurons die instead of FIRE.

You don't know it, but music is still there even if you sink into dementia.

Listen to something you never heard.

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Folks, we argue about important hot takes, but here's my scorching take that does not matter at all.

There is no such thing as good soup. Soup was a bad idea that we've outgrown as a species.

Today has been a day of good music choices, listening to Bowie, Joni, Elvis, and Nez. Now going to stick on Elvis' Aloha concert before I get to work in an hour or so.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
