Well ACTUALLY Twitter accounts that use public records to track airplane movements are a historically recognized EXCEPTION to the First Amendment, if you actually cared about free speech you'd know that.

I was once 20,000 or so viewers in TV ratings and so was my wife.

The experience of being a Nielsen household has left me with an abiding feeling all TV (but even moreso, radio) ratings may be bunk.

On a bright November day in west #Donegal.

Silver Strand at Malin Beg. You’ll find Silver Strand Beach just past the town of #Glencolmcille on the Slieve League Peninsula. It’s a 20-minute drive from #Carrick, a 35-minute drive from #Killybegs and a 40-minute drive from #Ardara. From car park to beach is down a flight of 174 steps. #irishtwitter #mastodaoine #beach #ireland #gaeilge #irish

Although i think daylight launches are always nicer to look at, there's something special about a nighttime launch! #NASA_Artemis

Tomorrow will be the last day we see the Sun until February. Well we’ll likely not see it as it is forecast to be overcast. People image we have one long night, but that’s not true. We have a varying amount of twilight as the Sun skims below the horizon.
