It's probably for the best that we can fly only after shuffling off this mortal coil.

Defending my home state has exhausted me. I feel like a sucker.
This is like people blaming railroad track gauges for the Civil War.
Dire warning: I'm reserving Torgo Built My Hotrod as a title for a possible anti-podcast by me.
Cicadathon v. Blue Origin rocket engine tests. Yeah, I would kinda miss this if I up and left.
Everyone should have a rule or law named after them. If one doesn't already have one, make one up. Hell, make a dozen; one of them's gotta stick. So despite popular demand, here is mine.
Everything is actual size.
Now go carpe TF out of the diem.
There should be more things in Huntsville named after this man than after von Braun.

Shortwave radio report: Ham radio signals on certain HF frequencies have been all but wiped out. Usually a lot of chatter, now swamped with noise. What transmissions are getting through are weak with wavering voices. Fascinating.
This is a diminished world without Otis Redding. Listen to "In Person at the Whisky a Go Go" and you'll understand.
My brainworm:
A. can beat up your brainworm.
B. brings all the boys to the yard.
C. has a first name. It's O-s-c-a-r.
D. is a rsfcking worm and still knows Virginia double-dribbled.

I sometimes listen to WVNN's Mumbles the Bigot so you don't have to.
"I'm not saying you *can't* teach if you don't have kids ..."
(Paraphrased)
But if you haven't raised a family, you shouldn't teach ...
This is probably how a lot of LGBTQ stuff gets in our schools ...
HSV traffic talk: Today I entered the South Parkway entrance ramp from eastbound I-565, and I thought to myself, "I'm the bad guy now."
You know what would be fantastic? If we could assume that emergency medical responders had our health and safety in mind during police encounters. But we can't.

An AP and PBS "Frontline" investigation documenting police use of force.
apnews.comI am an Ivey on my grandmother's side. I have not investigated that any further due to the Fear.
Israel as an essential component of fundamentalist Christian End Times Prophecy: Yea verily!
Actual Jews: Not so much. (Unless they convert.)
I'm obviously not the first person to observe this. But I keep wondering if I'm missing something? It can't be that cynical, that cut and dried, can it?
Complete this sentence: Without the moderating post-WW2 influence of the Army and NASA, Huntsville would be ___________.

So, the unrest is due to "outside agitators." Cool. Where have I heard that phrase before? Hmm.
Mid-morning radio talk dude whining about whether to bother entering his infant daughter's cute baby picture into the Gerber Baby contest in the face of corporate DEI initiatives.
@kevinmkruse.bsky.social , do you have an early take on St. George, LA being allowed to secede from Baton Rouge and incorporate? Seems like a re-segregationist blueprint in action.
I've neither seen nor heard anything to make me question my position that Republicans' policies on public education are an elaborate form of revenge on that teacher in high school who wouldn't round up their 76 to a B.
Shouldn't we be hearing from the President by now that areas hit by the recent tornadoes should receive federal aid depending on whether they were "nice to me?"
New policy: Anything I disagree with or makes me uncomfortable in any way, I will respond with "I'll take 'things that never happened for $800, Alex,'" because I am super smrt.
This will probably be my final 27-28 April 2011 Tornado Outbreak Commemorative Filet-o-Fish post. If you need context check my previous Instagram posts from this date. Or ask. Anyway, here goes.
I have literally asked to have my body donated to UAB for med school and nursing education upon my death if circumstances are appropriate and after organ donations, etc. IOW, the full John Prine Please Don't Bury Me.
Looks like they won't need it after all. Rsfcking ghouls.
Noteworthy article on ethical issues re: organ procurement by UAB, student-driven engagement, and the ability of wardens to consent to organ donation. #medsky
After Kelvin Moore died in an Alabama prison, his body was returned without organs. His family wants...
The family is planning to sue the state of Alabama
andscape.comUAB has a LOT of explaining to do.
I am not a mission field. Thank you for your attention on this matter.
Took a while but somebody got offended by the cap. Sorry, it stays in the rotation. #huntsville #universityofhawaii #rainbowwarriors #throwbacklogo
I do not understand the question and I won't respond to it.
I mean it's one spam account, Michael, how much could it cost? Ten dollars from a stolen credit card?
Libs of TikTok have come after two organizations we in Huntsville are supposed to be proud of. In each case the organization chose their own PR over organized harassment and threats against people. Here, Sp*ce C*mp caved just like L___ M___ did. This is the result.

"Are you seeing demons since the eclipse? You may be entitled to compensation." 2/2
Meanwhile on x/Twitter: Several posters are reporting that since the eclipse they are seeing transient demonic features in some people's faces they encounter. Even people they've known for a long time. Black eyes, Spock ears, the works.
Other possible causes they are speculating about include 1/2

Are we certain it wasn't his doing to begin with? After all:
"Since the beginning of time Man has yearned to destroy the Sun."
Yep. Growing up in Birmingham in the 70s I heard over and over: "Ah didn't leave th' democrat party, th' democrat party left meeee."
Curiously, Sen. Dick Shelby held out until the early 90s.
Even curiouser, B'ham's '64 GOP wave congressman later became a top People for the American Way official.
No particular reason, just going on the record while I'm thinking about it.
Years ago I used to travel through this forlorn area and wished I could score some sweet HAYTER gear. Alas, it's pretty much a SW VA ghost town and the dream faded.
But apparently the universe just took its time and my dream has been made manifest.

Because the Official Bookie of the Revolution (OBR) believes this is an awful world, he is currently calculating the odds that if there is dirt or kompromat, real or fake, on Chef José Andrés of World Central Kitchen, it should become public soon.

A little context. Yes, he was about a half bubble off level but he had a point about the privileged in HSV.
