 @3967703f @ba041228 I find the comparison with Hog Island fascinating. They were a working fishing community. Instead of letting their homes fall into the sea they pulled them up, put them on boats, and took them to the mainland.

 Oh shit. Just learned that Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce. Go Kelce, Go!

 More reporting on shoplifting. I don't know man. If I was a decision maker, I think maybe I'd be ... 
 @2a70c54d I would actually be fascinated to hear what the insurers who are paying for all of this think

 @59034767 there’s some nice copy editing jokes in the movie 
 "The massacre on our roadways is the result of worsening speeding, larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks with limited visibility, increases in driver impairment and distraction, and roadway design that prioritizes cars’ speed over the lives of the Commonwealth’s residents." #virginia #safestreets #publicsafety #infrastructure #twentyisplenty https://vcnva.org/agenda-item/saving-pedestrian-lives/?emci=1e595efd-b75b-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&emdi=5e5ca06e-7c5c-ee11-9937-00224832eb73&ceid=5917151 
 Oh god. Now I'm thinking about that horrible trilogy again. Smh. Hahaha the RoS still boggles the... 
 @2a70c54d really would have benefited from some story work up front about what the movies are about and what is important. Without that it’s just a mess
