@SteveLovesAmmo Nobody's taking Ecto-1?
Maybe I didn't get far enough in the over 400 replies...

@Chimptistic @monsterhunter45 Corriea seems to have mostly one of two responses to his opinions; either NPCs or brilliant. This was brilliant.

[Glenn Capone @GlennCapone]

@japan_nobunaga It began as "duck, duck, Jeep", a play on the game "duck, duck, goose".
The original idea was to re-duck the duck you received. Someone would leave a duck on your hood to say "nice Jeep" and you would find another and leave it on theirs.

@HughTauerner Beaver Nuggets for the win!
Traveling home last winter, I wanted to get one more hour closer to home, all it took was Beaver Nuggets and Dr. Pepper

@Maybeth111180 @Bennieeexyz Reruns are not always a bad thing. I did not assume it was his own story, and it was entertaining.

I'm mostly disappointed that the diesel fuel is unknown sourced in a "top tier" station, and they add a biofuel blend. I'll stick with ExxonMobil

[Glenn Capone @GlennCapone]

That's the last time I stop at Shell to fill up. WTH @shelloilcorp ? I buy name brand fuel because my diesel engine is a valuable asset to me.

@ICannot_Enough And to your point about elevators vs autonomous vehicles, the comparison is foolish. The elevator would be more akin to a subway train with no other train on the same track, as in the airport in Orlando.

[Glenn Capone @GlennCapone]

@ICannot_Enough I held a license to operate a manual elevator in the middle 70's, working in a department store.

Walt Disney once told Charles Schulz he wasn't good enough to draw background art.

Form letter. Very polite.

"We only hire the very finest artists."

Sparky wasn't one of them.

His yearbook rejected his cartoons. His school gave him a zero in physics. He failed every subject in eighth grade.
Every. Single. One.

The other kids called him "Sparky" — after a horse in a comic strip.

They were calling him an animal.

Paul Harvey said it best:

"Sparky wasn't actually disliked by the other youngsters. No one cared enough about him to dislike him."

So this invisible boy did something strange.

He didn't try to prove Disney wrong.

He wrote his autobiography in cartoons instead.

Named the main character after himself.

Charlie Brown.

A kid whose kite never flies. Whose team never wins. Whose crush never notices him.

Then Schulz did something the network executives hated.

He put Luke 2 at the center of his Christmas special.

"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy..."

They told him to cut it.

Too religious.

He refused.

Christmas Eve, millions of families will watch that scene.

A loser became the messenger.

Disney said he wasn't good enough.

God said otherwise.

Soldier, Sailor, Airmen… those are nouns. Nicknames.

Marine, that’s a title. Earned and never suffixed with “former”.

Happy 250th Birthday Marines!

I had a new student in my Algebra II class. She was homeschooled previously, and this was her first experience in public school. Two days in, she’s already unerolling. I’m not surprised, given our last conversation.

Her words when I asked her what she thought: “I wanted to see what all the hype was and maybe go to prom, but this isn’t for me. Most of class is spent waiting for everyone to open their Chromebooks or figure out what to do after the teacher has literally said it 5 times. And, I can’t use the bathrooms because of all the vaping.”

I knew it wasn’t going to work when she brought back an entire unit packet (meant to be completed over 2 weeks) the next day. And no, she didn’t use AI. I asked her a few questions and she could explain the most difficult concepts verbally. She even offered her advice on how the sequencing of the packet could be improved.

@steveMmattison @Iraqveteran8888 Oh I'm jealous, I got to drive my dad's '65 Galaxie 500 convertible in my teens.
Mmmm, 352, 4bbl, dual exhaust... 🥰

When you really think about it...

[Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 @Bubblebathgirl]

Victor Davis Hanson asks a simple yet profound question about tariffs:

“If tariffs are so destructive of their economies, why is China booming?”

You won’t hear any of the critics of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs even consider that question.

That’s because they don’t really care.

[Glenn Capone @GlennCapone]

@ChrisLoesch @libsoftiktok You ain't wrong.
