Somebody took an aircraft tug, the kind that pushes jumbo jets around, and made it street legal. Probably. These things sit low enough to slide under the nose of a plane and weigh anywhere from 70,000 to 120,000 pounds. The Air Force version was built to tow the C-5 Galaxy. Then somebody slapped a wood deck on top and painted it like it came out of Mad Max. Not exactly sure what you'd do with it buts its cool.

Confidence is increasing in significant rainfall through at least Sunday morning. Narrow bands of training heavy rain/thunderstorms could result in sharp rainfall gradients from as little as 1-2" to as much as 5-8" over just a few miles. #gawx

ISAIAS ON FINAL APPROACH: Alrighty gang... this is the final call on what to expect hazards-wise. The hazards overlap. Find yourself on the map, and then see which box(es) you're in. PINK: The eyewall will affect you. Winds. gusting 80 to 100 mph, commensurate with Category 2 impacts. Power outages likely. Tree damage possible to hardwoods; palms should be mostly alright. Loose outdoor objects are tossed around. Scattered to numerous power outages. (In Pensacola, there could be a secondary burst of winds on the back side of the system out of the west-northwest... perhaps stronger than the initial side of the eye. As dry air sneaks into the circulation and erodes part of the eyewall, a "stinger" could form. While not technically a sting jet, somewhat similar processes could help make a nasty backlash of wind.) RED: Winds gusting 56 to 80 mph. Some of that is on the east side of the eyewall but outside the eyewall itself. The rest, especially in Alabama as far north as Montgomery and south of Birmingham, is from the remnant eyewall. Scattered power outages likely, and tree damage is probabkle. GREEN: This is where rainfall could overachieve, but uncertainty abounds. Confidence is high in widespread 6 to 10 inch totals, but a narrow strip of a LOT more is possible IF the feeder band swirls over the same areas for long enough. In that case, downpours would train, or move repeatedly over the same areas. BLUE: Surge. A hazardous storm surge is likely on the right side of the system, with a broad 3 to 7 feet of inundation. If you live on the immediate coastline within 7 feet of sea level, move up or inland. YELLOW: Scattered tornadoes are likely either Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday. Downpours in Isaias's feeder bands will tap into shear, or changing winds with height, associated with the overall circulation. That means some of the cells will rotate and could produce tornadoes. An isolated significant (EF2+) tornado can't be ruled out.

One of Dr. Frankenstein’s greatest strengths as a scientist was arithmetic. He did the math. He did the monster math.

Dear lord baby Jesus. I pray to you that you put a very rich owner in my life to take over the Cincinnati Reds, along with a salary cap so that #44, one Elly De La Cruz is a Cincinnati Red for the rest of his career. Thank you.

So, I’m in the recliner just wearing my boxers, eating some Doritos, drinking a beer and watching a movie, minding my own business and fucking Wal-Mart calls the police. Assholes!

Rock n' Roll lost another legend. 💔 Frank Beard, drummer and longtime member of ZZ Top, has died at 77. For more than five decades, he helped create the unmistakable sound of one of rock's most iconic bands. Rest easy, Frank...🥁🤘

A narrow crescent of sand more than 300 km from mainland Canada supports a wild population of the most unexpected animals. The island is 26 miles (42 km) long, barely a mile (1.6 km) wide at its widest point, and covered in fog an average of 127 days a year. Yet around 500 of these animals survive there. 1/n

...except it already has a bad case of turf toe.
Breaking news: Atlanta Falcons management announced they are replacing the turf at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with cardboard. Why? Because they always look better on paper. I know it's too early, but I'm just preparing you guys.
