Enter Sandman is a 25 year old Virginia Tech tradition and the reason Metallica added the school to their last tour.
Virginia Tech’s Geosciences department measured the equivalent of a magnitude 1 to 2 earthquake when the band played the song at that concert.

Love is the greatest scammer of all time 😭😭
United operates arguably the coolest route in the world: the Island Hopper.
But it’s far from the only interesting thing happening in what I think is the most exciting region for aviation: the South Pacific.
Here, airlines do the work roads and railways do elsewhere. 🧵
Amazing Reporting by @RyanPaganetti:
THE Patriots aka CHEATRIOTS FOUND A WAY TO MESS WITH OPPOSING KICKERS 😳
For YEARS at Gillette Stadium, when an opposing kicker lined up, the video board showed a reverse view of the goalposts.
The screen displayed what looked like a SECOND set of yellow uprights behind the real ones.
In windy conditions, even the streamers on the video board could point in the OPPOSITE direction of the actual uprights.
And here’s the wildest part:
📊 52 Patriots FG attempts reviewed
❌ The illusion appeared on Patriots kicks ZERO TIMES
The CHEATRIOTS truly left NO stone unturned.
No detail was too small.
No possible advantage was left unexplored.
That Patriots “dynasty” was something else. 😂
Au Japon, vous pourrez bientôt manger des sushis tout en visitant Tokyo depuis un bus !
Le Sushi Bus est un bus à impériale équipé d’un véritable tapis roulant à sushis au deuxième étage.
Pendant 70 minutes, vous pourrez donc déguster des sushis à volonté tout en passant devant certains des lieux emblématiques de Tokyo, comme Shibuya, Ginza ou Asakusa.
Au niveau des spécificités :
- Sushis à volonté
- Bus à toit ouvert
- 20 passagers maximum
- 70 minutes de tour
- 16 000 yens par personne
- Lancement prévu le 10 octobre 2026
- 5 départs par jour : 11h, 13h, 15h, 17h et 19h
Le système a été spécialement testé pour que les sushis et la sauce soja ne volent pas dans tous les sens lors d’un freinage brusque !
Si ça fonctionne bien, le concept pourrait ensuite être développé à Kyoto et Osaka.
Vous testeriez ça lors d’un voyage au Japon ?
Let me explain the technical problem for US/Canada/Mexico trade and why this trade dispute is so consequential.
NAFTA 2.0 essentially treats North America as one giant market. Not absolutely but lots of benefits afforded to counter parts inside not afforded to countries outside.
China recognizes the US has become much more restrictive on trade with China. So China says, I can still get the benefit of trade with the US by routing my trade through Mexico or Canada.
Oddly enough, the US is saying to Mexico and Canada, we want the assurance that when we buy a product that says Made in Mexico it is made in Mexico with as many non-Chinese parts as possible, by non-Chinese workers, and by non-Chinese firms. It's kind of amazing that Canada objects to that idea.
What is notable is that Mexico has actually cooperated with the United States on these trade issues. This is not to say they are perfect no country is, even the US is not, but Mexico has decided very clearly its interests are best served by blocking Chinese activities like trans-shipment. US-Mexican trade is booming.
Conversely, Canada is actively undermining US interests by signing deals with Beijing and rejecting American requests to block and take actions on things like trans-shipment, high risk imports, and money laundering just to name a few. You can rail against the US and Trump all you want but the basic requests are not burdensome or anything draconian.
If Canada really wants to align itself as the conduit for Beijing into the North American market, that is your sovereign right to pursue that course of action. It is also the US sovereign right to say we disagree with that and will not bind ourselves to your agreements with Communist China. Sorry not sorry

Meet the duo who truly define partners for life.
Officer Brian Santos and his K9 partner Kyra steal hearts with a dance break at the Cocoa Police Department in Florida (They're like a family since 2018).
He heard the ice cream truck coming and suddenly remembered he had very important business to conduct.
This husky wasn’t chasing the truck.
He sat by the curb and waited like a regular customer who knew exactly how this transaction was supposed to work.
Then the truck stopped.
He walked right up to the window, patiently waited for his order… and came away with his own Ben & Jerry’s Doggie Dessert.
The little victory lap afterward is everything.
Meanwhile, my dog hears a wrapper open three rooms away and somehow teleports into the kitchen.
Some childhood traditions are apparently universal.
The ice cream truck comes down the street, everybody loses their mind.
Even the dog.
Be the best of the best ✈️

Sgt. Maj. Mike Vining: The Man. The Meme. The Army Legend.
The retired EOD technician and founding member of multiple elite units, Vining made his mark on Army history early in his career when he helped destroy a weapons cache with over 7 million rounds of ammunition.
He gained fame online as the subject of Army memes, thanks to his unassuming demeanor and stack of medals.
In honor of his birthday, here’s a small part of his incredible story.
BREAKING NEWS: Dallas Cowboys practice was delayed two hours today after a player found an unknown white powdery substance on the field. Jerry Jones immediately suspended practice and called the police. After analysis, experts confirmed it was the goal line. Practice resumed once officials decided the Cowboys were unlikely to see it again this season.
The Roots & Ice Cube’s “Straight Outta Compton” from that Jimmy Fallon rehearsal is one of the greatest live hip-hop moments ever. Just a warmup and they still went nuclear. Kirk taking Eazy’s verse might be the highlight.
