@AstorAaron My grandmother Hazel Reed (German ethnicity) was from Marklesburg in that same weirdly shaped county. She later moved to Pittsburgh.

Central PA fun fact: Texas-born singer Roy Orbison's dad was named Orbie Lee Orbison. And their direct ancestor, Thomas Orbison, was the namesake of Orbisonia, Pennsylvania in Huntingdon County.

So Tallahassee will hire a new city manager, when we have an election coming up in less than 2 months that might change who would have been hired for that position?? That’s some B.S. right there @MayorOfTLH @matlow4mayor
Matt Hoffmann@ByMattHoffmann
Mayor Dailey, in response to Matlow, said much of Matlow's comments are "political fodder." "After seven years, you'd think he'd understand it better," Daily said. He said the process will be to select a new city manager before September 30, aka before the general election.

@stats_feed Men need to learn to be valuable outside of just their income. It’s still less stressful than just being broke, 😂.
English
Men who earn less than their wives are more likely to experience psychological stress and relationship conflict.

@AstorAaron Eastern regions of Germany are the perfect example of this, where the men can’t find career success (or women) and they gravitate towards neonazism.

Sometimes downward mobility hits a whole region really hard and leads to large-scale emigration instead of (or in addition to) political radicalization.
English
Downward mobility is the superhighway to radicalization. That's true for people who go toward the far left, the far right, or some pastiche of radicalism. It could be driven by mental illness or other personal factors. But dashed expectations often produce serious volatility.

3/ But his backstory is what stands out. Allen wasn’t a drifter. He was: — A mechanical engineer from the CalTech — A former student researcher at NASA’s elite Jet Propulsion Laboratory — A computer scientist with an advanced masters degree At Caltech, Allen built: – Offensive and defensive robotic systems – Physics-based simulations He graduated in 2017. That year, he developed a shooter-style game called “First Law” — a physics-based space combat role-playing shooter game. Later, he released another complex game, “Bohrdom,” on Steam. He worked at C2 Education — where smart kids who want to get into CalTech get tutoring — and earned a master’s degree in computer science from California State University Dominguez Hills in 2025. He was publicly recognized as “Teacher of the Month” in late 2024. On paper, his trajectory reads as stable, even successful. Federal records show he also made a small political donation during the 2024 election cycle to Kamala Harris. President Donald Trump described Allen as a “lone wolf” and a “very sick person.” This isn’t just about what happened at the Washington Hilton. It’s about understanding the pathway: — from elite technical training — to game design — to alleged real-world violence Read the full investigation by @pmd_reports + me @FoxNews Digital. If you have a tip, send me a DM or write to asra.nomani@fox.com. More to come. foxnews.com/us/cole-allen-…

This tracks. Tallahassee has spent years doing nothing on housing, property insurance, child care, and the cost of living. People are leaving because of it. Miami is ground zero for this crisis. But this November we begin to build a better Florida.

I don’t normally repost this kind of content, but this really blew me away. I saw him at the Florida fairgrounds back in 1987. Robert Plant is now 77.

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.
