Prediction: JD Vance is sworn in as POTUS on ~January 21, 2027, so he can legally serve 10 years in that office.

@DannyDeraney 2026 be like:

Celebrating Peggy Lee's birthday today by sharing the video of how she recorded the The Siamese Cat Song from the Disney classic Lady and the Tramp. So cool.

@RetroNewsNow Everyone under age 30: "What the 'South Tower' of the World Trade Center?"

On May 26, 1977, George Willig scaled the exterior of the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Known as the ‘Human Fly,’ he used the building’s window-washing tracks to climb to the roof, where he was met by authorities and arrested. Willig was later fined a symbolic $1.10, one cent for each floor he climbed

@robperillo What is the outlook for tropical development in the western Gulf given that persistent, stalled (upper-level I think, right?) low? Next to none, I assume?

Deep tropical moisture conduit from the Western Caribbean, Central America/Eastern Pacific to the Gulf Coast looks to get established and persist through next week. This is almost our version of an atmospheric river(s)...daily rain chances likely to continue from Texas to Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle into June. #txwx #lawx #mswx #alwx #flwx

All I know is, the more I learn about RFK and Trump and the Clintons and Obamas, and the Bushes, Pelosi, and everyone in politics, the less likely I am to ever vote again. IT'S ALL LIES FOR VOTES. #autism

@robperillo Today my dewpoint reached 79.4 with a temperature of 89, making the H.I. an obnoxious (almost noxious at that ...) 105ºF. It's all the concrete and water around where I live in StMvl. My wx station is shielded as best as I could engineer, from the IR. Feels like 110+ in the sun!

Good chance of showers and storms and some locally heavy downpours for Acadiana Wednesday-Friday. Once again computer models having a difficult time resolving how the storms will play out over the next several days. Bottom line: Acadiana is hatched in for a slight risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall for Wednesday, and "marginal" risk Thursday...which could level up to a slight risk depending how the weather evolves tomorrow and into Thursday, only if we can get more model consistency. I have rain chances at 70% tomorrow...anytime in the morning or afternoon...if the bulk of storms arrive earlier in the day we could see some sun for the latter part of the afternoon. Another round of primarily daytime storms (70%) with the threat of heavy downpours continues Thursday. Rain chances Friday are being held at 60%...could be lower probabilities toward western areas Friday...we'll see. Rain chances ease slightly with activity more scattered in nature into this weekend but maintaining 40-50% for Saturday and near 60% Sunday. Last image I'm showing Euro accumulated rain totals through the next 10 days...we stay soggy. As of today I do not see the chance of daily chance of showers ending in the next 10 days...maybe in 11 or 12 days! #lawx

@RetroNewsNow I don't know about this......uh oh....

📺The series finale of ‘You Can’t Do That on Television’ aired 36 years ago, May 25, 1990

@robperillo absolutely terrifying!

Yeah Phobos!

@RetroNewsNow This was like 14 years ago, right?

@Y2John84 Julian Beck should have received a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for this viscerally haunting performance in Poltergeist 2!

Poltergeist II: The Other Side released 40 years ago today. 23 May 1986 👻

@RetroNewsNow Johnny Carson was a master. He will never be replaced.

📺On May 22, 1989, Johnny Carson made a guest appearance on ‘Newhart’

@bluhue123 go fuck yourself

Raise your hand ✋ if you STAND with Stephen Colbert against Trump

@historydefined The little girl's glance at the mother says, "I know why the neighbor's kid is missing."

This 1950's beef stew ad could definitely be the beginning of a horror movie

I saw Rick James trending and I thought he had died again. Whew!

@RetroNewsNow yes I recall my elderly aunt was apoplectic with rage that they had discontinued her favorite cereal I thought she would never recover but she did

Anyone remember Product 19 cereal? 🥣Kellogg’s introduced Product 19 in 1967 as a no-frills, nutrition-focused cereal designed to compete with General Mills’ Total. Mark Harmon even appeared in an early commercial for it. The origin of its unusual name is still debated, but the cereal remained on shelves for nearly 50 years before being discontinued in 2016

@robperillo Yep. Doppler is doing a good job. At the time of your posting we'd had a 3 day total of 4.7 inches. No torrential rain, but steady, moderately-heavy training rains. With a few breaks today. As of MY reply (4:19 PM) 4.85"

When will it stop? Rainfall totals across potions of Acadiana already in the 3-6" range over the last 72 hours and approaching a foot or more on the east side of the Atchafalaya Basin per doppler estimates here, which are generally underdone. Post your preliminary rain totals below. Given what's still on the radar and some back-building/training of storm activity, an additional 2-4" will be likely in spots through this afternoon, further exacerbating ongoing high water and flooding that is being reported across portions of Lafayette, St Martin and Iberia Parishes. Activity looks to calm down later this evening, but models are having an extremely difficult time and have been consistently underestimating rain coverage and intensity. Stay safe and dry if you can! #lawx

@RetroNewsNow Along with the Carol Burnett Show's "Went With The Wind" this is tied for first place for the funniest bit of all time.

📺On May 8, 1993, motivational speaker Matt Foley, played by Chris Farley, made his first appearance on NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’

@JeffreyBurris @RetroNewsNow Because they have functioning senses of humor.

@RetroNewsNow Why do people think this is funny?

@breyannalwx @robperillo THE WEATHER IS BETTER THAN GUMBOOOOO! NOMNOMNOMNOM!!!! Probably the last gasp of winter until late October. Let's SAVOR IT!!!!

@FunMovieTVFan it's unreal that this movie is older in relation to our time frame than James Bond movies are to Austin Powers' time frame. That blows my mind. This movie is almost 30 years old, but most of the original James Bond movies are younger in relation.

Released May 2, 1997
