Yeah he's 65, he's gotta stop doing this and get help. It's not the 90s anymore...

Tonight's show in Boston. Apparently Perry Farrell was wasted and kept messing up the vocals, everyone was pissed but tried to work through it, then Perry flips out on Dave Navarro and had to get wrestled down.

They're on a reunion tour with the original members for the first time in 14 years, but they might just be done after this.

4.5 min video of the exchange. Very satisfying watch!

Stephen Miller, Trump advisor, absolutely loses his mind when journalist José María Del Pino asks him where he gets his information about Venezuela's supposed low crimes rates.

Asshole cop vs asshole citizen is what the video showed. I'm far from a cop lover but I can see how it feels on the other side of a rolled up window where you can't see what's going on and the person inside's being non-compliant. Don’t fuck around and talk shit while rolling up your tinted window when a cop pulls you over. People in this country are strapped up. Especially in a concealed carry state like Florida that is full of insane people. Cops are on edge for a reason when they’re doing a traffic stop. If I did what Tyreek Hill did, I'd fully expect to be asked to step out or pulled out of my car

Excessive use of force by the cop who clearly wanted to escalate. Tyreek Hill also wasn't being smart in the way that was handled. We already know how paranoid and trigger happy law enforcement can be. People like to act tough on the internet, but I wouldn't DARE roll up tinted windows during a police stop knowing how shit could escalate. I'm trying to have them see my hands at all times. That's exactly the kind of shit that can happen when you're just trying to get home safe. Whatever it is, it's not worth it.

Excellent recording by Michael Murray, played on one of the largest organs in the world. It sounds absolutely massive. The lows in this piece will make your house shake.

Pure Americana. Just a dude who loved off-roading obsessed with putting bigger and bigger tires on his truck. Named it Bigfoot. Drove over a couple of cars and taped it for fun.

Fast forward to BIGFOOT performing at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1983 in 72,000 people and flashing cameras. History was made.

The Siren is a painting by John William Waterhouse. The painting depicts a siren sitting at the edge of a cliff, lyre in hand, staring down at a shipwrecked sailor floating in water, who in turn is staring up at her. The picture was painted in 1900 and is now part of a private collection.

Mine's the Vietnamese bánh mì. Cucumbers, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon, jalapeños, mayo spread (similar to Kewpie), paté, and your choice of meat, on a Vietnamese baguette. I prefer traditional cold cuts, char siu (xa xiu), or meatballs (xiu mai). And I always pay for extra paté.👌🏼

Fun question! There's an abundance in Vietnamese. Usually used by parents and/or old folk (I can hear it now...)

Mèo khen mèo dài đuôi — Literal translation "cat praises cat's long tail." A way of expressing narcissism.

Uống nước nhớ nguồn — Literal translation is "drink water, remember roots." So you'd pause, reflect, and remember where you came from.

Gieo gió gặt bão— Literal translation is "sow winds, weather storms." A way of saying "you reap what you sow."

Có công mài sắt có ngày nên kim — Literal translation "Perseverance grinds iron some day into needles." Used like "practice makes perfect."

Trời có mắt — Literal translation "Heaven has eyes." Usually used when someone's wronged, but don't worry - heaven is watching.

Gần mực thì đen, gần đèn thì sáng — Literal translation "near the ink it blackens, near the lamp it lights." You're influenced by those you're around.

Nuôi ong tay áo — Literal translation "raise bees in shirtsleeve." As in "to nurture a snake in one's bosom," kindness will be met by betrayal.

I actually had my partner read this too, and we're in agreement, so you've got both a male and female opinion here lol:

SHE asked for your number, SHE wanted to spend more time with you. Seems awfully convenient that she wasn't able to do her work for whatever reason, and instead was content with just chit chatting. Also – hearts are flirty. Especially at work AND you just met the person.

We think she's interested but you probably didn't do enough during the hang out, and she didn't want to embarrass herself, so she just downplayed it.

Our advice is to just ask her out. She seems more forward, so she probably appreciates confidence. "Hey I had fun talking! We should get dinner some time. Are you available?"

They were certainly negligent in not properly assessing McClain (who was already restrained) prior to ketamine admin. Once ketamine was given, they then also failed to monitor and recognize cardiac arrest.

This case will likely lead to change in paramedic emergency care protocols.

I sort of feel sorry for the paramedics in the sense that they were too complacent and should have told the cops "no" when they tried to dictate patient care (as in, 'you need to sedate this dangerous person'). I work in healthcare too, so I'm familiar with cops trying to dictate medical care and the importance of advocating for your pt when that happens. It can be intimidating to tell a cop to fuck off, but sometimes you have to do it. If nothing else, it's your ass on the line.
