Wonder what it would do with "stuffing"? Anyway, enjoy your wound coverings this holiday season...

A properly secured and load balanced crane won't do this. There is time, money, and math involved.

Weathervane mode is only good up to about 100 MPH. They knew it was going to be higher than that.

Save a dime, spend a dollar.

So Mama Musk is having quite the week, advocating federal election crimes, getting community noted, not identifying a parody account, and pointing out that Leon has developmental disabilities on top of his drug addiction.

No, no, not MY face, you damned face eating leopard!

I now know two Floridians who are staying to protect their homes from the government because of what they heard was going on in NC. At least one of them had already rented a car and booked a hotel in GA - cancelled both. I guess that's someone else's good luck? 🤷

Just for reference. Grateful that Thom Tillis and the rest of the NC representatives had more sense than that drooling ass kisser Budd and the Art Pope minion Bishop.

Pass this all on to your MAGA acquaintances. 🙄

She's a member of Congress.

Oh and do NOT drink raw milk. Seriously. Mr. Cosmic literally grew up on a dairy farm and is *most* emphatic about it.

SAME DAMNED DAY!

It's apparently OK and 'Murican for white folks to go stand in FLOOD FUCKING WATERS FILLED WITH CHEMICALS and get DUNKED.

Some good news (posted by the assistant principal).

Also, public schools care.

We can't just fucking build some single family homes and apartments?

Gotta love those war machine literalists. (Gotta open) 🤣

Y'all know I'm a union supporter, but fuck this guy (and Sean O'Brien afterwards). Detailed thread (Threadreader, not Twitter link)

Remember when folks were going on about Boeing machinists turning down 25% over 5 years? These guys turned down 40% raises (asking for 77%) and demanding zero automation for 6 years.

The *average* member made about $200K in 2022, not including benefits.

This one is a setup.

This is the BP where our #Helene encampment was, taken Sunday afternoon (not my picture). We left in the early morning "Dark o' Clock" hours of Sunday - the sign was undamaged, the power lines were undamaged and well, there was a road.

Glad we took our shot when we could - terrifying how short our window was.

Know anyone in Weaverville who is inaccessible by vehicle and needing supplies?

The BP Encampment was part of the mentioned "Unknown number of motorists" until we made our Escape from Black Mountain. And "our" BP was in some of the food and water distribution pictures yesterday (we were all out at that point). 😱

I'm so happy to be out and out of the way so services can focus on the locals.
