Woke up this morning to @msuster talking about the joys of Cameo in @Pogue's @cbssunday feature on the pay for personalized celebrity video platform. Bonus @brandongraham55 too! #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/gxzgfKNSLw

Each year on January 28, I can't help but to recall that cold morning in 1986 when the Challenger Space Shuttle crew died in one of our most devastating space exploration tragedies. Now 35 years on, I hope that they always will be remembered.

[NASA @NASA]

35 years ago today, the space shuttle Challenger and all seven crew members aboard were lost. On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the Challenger crew and all who gave their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery: https://t.co/9qEnFCzLSv

Absolutely the least surprising thing today. #earthquake

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

Because we all need this right now: Fairly strong #earthquake in California High Desert (USGS says prelim 5.5 in Ridgecrest). Good shaker in Los Angeles and reported to be felt in Las Vegas too.

He’ll be more remembered for “Ain’t No Sunshine” (and in Philly for his Grover Washington collab) but no matter how dark times get, this song always makes me feel like we’ll get through it. Thank you Mr. Bill Withers. Thank you for this Lovely Day. RIP https://t.co/IBsFzxHLTM

I think this is what some suspected about the Coronavirus quarantine all along. #COVID19 #StaySafe

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

Should you panic in #marketcrash? Josh Brown, advisor who calls market straight and doesn’t suffer fools, says no, but be smart and have a plan. Odd historical twist: 11 years ago today DOW, S&P 500 hit post 2008 crash low; by June stocks up 41%; No one at time knew it was bottom

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

Such a fantastic opening to the #NFL100 #SuperBowl marred only by the banning of kids wearing Browns or Lions jerseys from participating. #SuperBowl2020

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

@AmericanAir How? We’re sitting on edge of LAX not moving at all. Do we have guaranteed crew to leave tonight?

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

It’s terribly hard in a single Tweet to give just due to the memory of someone who’s recently passed like Monty Python’s brilliantly funny and enormously silly Terry Jones, but Mr. Cleese comes darn close to perfection. RIP

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Just heard about Terry J

It feels strange that a man of so many talents and such endless enthusiasm, should have faded so gently away...

Of his many achievements, for me the greatest gift he gave us all was his direction of 'Life of Brian'. Perfection

Two down, four to go

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

Some of the most vivid memories of my career were the Friday and Saturday morning Bentonville meetings chaired by Mr. Glass. I am fortunate to have had that experience with him. RIP

[Walmart News @WalmartNews]

It is with great sorrow and eternal gratitude we share the news that David Glass has passed away. He was always prioritizing other people. He loved his family, he loved Walmart and he loved the Royals. https://t.co/OFb76sIONH

Deeply concerned for the people in and around Tagaytay and near the island where Taal sits. For many evacuation is very difficult. This area is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, but the volcano, while appearing benign, has always been active and a potential threat.

[ABS-CBN News @ABSCBNNews]

Alert level 4 raised over #TaalVolcano, volcanic tsunami possible: PHIVOLCS https://t.co/CpESueRlsn

It won’t have the New Orleans boycott effect for last years’s Super Bowl TV ratings (a sizable hit), but infuriatingly inconsistent officiating like this will drive away some portion of NFL fans, especially in Philadelphia, Buffalo and (again!) NOLA.

[Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93]

In week 2, refs took away a 2-point for Eagles because the QB went forward as a runner - "gave himself up"

Yesterday, they say the crown hit from Clowney was fine because he was a runner - and didn't "give himself up"

- So which is it? What's it gonna be @NFLOfficiating 🤨

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

Sad, but true.

[Matt Mullin @matt_mullin]

This is the blue tent the Eagles need

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

@msuster My son’s already looking forward to his annual Pat’s cheesesteak (for breakfast this time!) very early Tuesday morning when I pick him up from his red eye into Philly. #FlyEaglesFly

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

78 years ago this morning the Japanese attack on US naval and air bases at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii killed over 2,400 service members and civilians and propelled America into World War II. Just 3 crew members from the sunken USS Arizona remain alive today. https://t.co/yeQAs1X50Z

I'm no more than a casual college football fan & have zero rooting interest in Auburn-Alabama, but there's not a game I find more incredibly entertaining each November than the #IronBowl. Starting just with the #KickSix a few years back, you can't script this kind of action.

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

At the risk of offending the football gods and @OldTakesExposed, as the Wolves knock off Man City, has an #EPL club ever (effectively) clinched the Premier League in early October as Liverpool appears to have done today? #MCIWOL

[Michael Pilla @michaelpilla]

My first crush. After Batman, Julia on NBC was my first TV show memory. Later I discovered her wonderful voice, not just in classic American musicals, but torch songs too. Go find and listen to her 1960s era album, Nobody Sees Me Cry. RIP

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The actress Diahann Carroll has died at 84. She transcended racial barriers on “Julia,” the first U.S. TV series about a black professional woman. https://t.co/ntW18nqebT
