@MattDevittWX I’m very excited to have a palindrome birthday this year!!

@jettila just got caught up on TOC VI. You cooked one heck of a dish! I was shocked and heartbroken, but what a respectable cook to go out on this season. Can’t wait to see you win it all next year! Time to go eat my feelings in ice cream. #teamtila #TournamentOfChampions

@MarioNawfal This is not a ‘flamethrower’. It is a handheld utility torch that can be purchased at any hardware store. They are used by mechanics, plumbers, handymen, etc. It’s a far cry to call it a flamethrower.

LAUNCH AND RETURN — Two-frame stack of Starship Flight 5 ascending from Starbase, Texas, and Super Heavy returning to be caught by the tower! JUST INCREDIBLE!

While I appreciate the work LCSO is doing, what exactly are they assisting with? Residents should have either evacuated or stayed indoors. Why are there people out and about? It unnecessarily puts others, specifically first responders, at risk. Perhaps there are legitimate reasons for them to be out, but I can’t think of any. Props to the LCSO and the work they’re doing.

@MattDevittWX Since they probably aren’t winds created by a Boeing CH-47 Chinook…..what are chinook winds?

@MattDevittWX @winknews Thanks for the clarification!!

@TUMSOfficial have you ever researched a quieter storage container for your tablets or is the world’s loudest plastic container the best you can do? #askingforafriend

@johnkrausphotos Way to sneak in the photo of the year right at the end of 2023. Incredible!!

@JonAcuff are you and your family safe after these storms?

Why can’t smoke detector batteries ever go low in the middle of the day?! It’s always like 1:00am when they decide to start warning you.

@SawyerMerritt You’re not getting $7,500 off the price, you’re just getting to deduct $7,500 from your taxable income, right? That only results in maybe a few hundred dollars back on your tax refund. That’s very different from $7,500 off the price. I love Tesla but it seems misleading.

@MattDevittWINK @winknews Thanks @MattDevittWINK! Is it still looking like it may grow to only a CAT 1 or is it still too early to tell?

@MrJamesMay I see people talking about the ghosts in Our Man in Italy in Rome and the car park, but what about the one in episode 5 at the end of the truffle hunt? Are there more than three in this series?

At the risk of sounding insensitive, according to the CDC and other government and non-government websites, “Mass gatherings are typically defined as large numbers of people (>1,000) at a specific location, for a specific purpose.”

5 teens were killed in a tragic single-car accident in Fort Myers, Florida, but it wasn’t labeled a mass-casualty accident.

6 passengers were killed in a small plane crash in California, but it wasn’t labeled a mass-casualty accident.

From a quick search on the NHTSA website, an average 117 people die each day in motor vehicle accidents in the US alone. According to the CDC, in 2021 695,000 people died from heart disease, a disease that is more times than not caused by poor eating and exercise habits. Why don’t we use the kind of fear-mongering and panic-inducing language for those issues in our daily news as we do for stories of shootings?

The way news outlets misuse terminology and mis-label weapons is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t disagree that there is a problem and I have no issue with gun laws that are a little more strict. But we have to remember criminals operate outside of the law. No laws are going to change the heart and mind of a criminal. I know lots of gun owners, myself included. None of our guns have ever killed anyone. It makes me think that maybe, just maybe, guns aren’t the problem. At least, not the entire problem, contrary to what our news agencies so often like to point out.

The new cameras on the second stage of @SpaceX’s #Falcon9 rockets are really impressive!
