Ars longa vita brevis. Paraphrased (Latin): “Art is long, life is short.” A beautiful truth of life and lasting works of art in many forms. Hippocrates, however, referred to our human fragility. Nonetheless, as a creative person, this enduring genius drives my ambitious heart.

You may have noticed that several dozen folks are sitting while all the members of Congress are standing honoring war heroes. They all have green or yellow dots on their jackets or shoulders. Here’s why:

When you are knowledgeable about various things stupid-ass Hollywood people screw up, it really robs movies/shows of thier credibility. It’s not rocket science to at least get the terminology straight on well known and understood topics. It’s like creating a show for mechanics, and hiring an actor to confidently refer to a precision torque wrench as a fargin’ “tightening stick” (or something even more lame). It’s excruciating.

@MusashiBonMot Well thank you for the groundbreaking wheelbarrow strategy. Can’t believe none of us thought to casually lift a 70-pound land shark mid-attack.🤔

When a dog is locked in like this and won't let go... what is the actual safe way to stop it? This looks terrifying, but we need to explain what is actually happening here. The dog isn't being "evil." He isn't even mad. ​He is in High Drive. ​Certain breeds are built with a "prey drive" so high that when it triggers, the rest of the world disappears. The adrenaline dumps, the jaw locks, and their hearing literally shuts off. You see them trying to pry him off? You see the tools failing? That is because in this state, pain compliance doesn't work. You can't hurt them into letting go because they don't feel it. Their brain is 100% focused on the "mission." ​This isn't a "bad dog." This is a Ferrari engine with no brakes. ​Respect the power of these animals. Once the switch flips, it is very hard to flip it back.

@Mrgunsngear The Navy barely deals with small arms unless your job has you carrying (cops for example) Navy doesn't have to be familiar with small arms like that.

The longer you look the worse it gets 👀 The Public Affairs Officer (PAO) who green lighted the publishing of these photos is likely having a pretty bad day.... 😂 I'll be bookmarking this post for the next time someone's up in the comments like "I was in the military, I know firearms!" #navy #USNavy #SigSauer #M18 #grip #WTF #fail

NEW: Raccoon gets drunk at an ABC liquor store in Ashland, Virginia, and passes out in the bathroom. Hanover County Animal Protection says the raccoon "ransacked" the store before passing out next to the toilet. "Officer Martin safely secured our masked bandit and transported him back to the shelter to sober up before questioning," Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter said in a statement. "After a few hours of sleep and zero signs of injury (other than maybe a hangover and poor life choices), he was safely released back to the wild, hopefully having learned that breaking and entering is not the answer." Video: WAVY TV 10.

If you see a hot air balloon, you're left-brained, and if you see a jellyfish, you're right-brained. What do you see?
