My idea for this reef...

... is to load this up (when they're ready to tug it out to to its final resting place) with all the most heinous, repeat/unredeemable prisoners in our prisons on death row (or not yet) and let the Navy & Air Force use it for target practice. Wouldn't that make a REALLY great reef if it is already stocked with fresh meat?

Would like to require the 'less deadly' prisoners, people in jail, or whoever else wants to, watch what their future is should they continue down the path. THEN... since we now have 1/2 empty prisons everywhere, sent all of the remaining ones to the most secure prisons. NOW we have a lot of empty prisons that are already set up to house & feed people (and entertain, workout facilities, etc...)... it's a built in spot for the disabled, elderly, or others who truly need a hand up. Even the street rats (formerly know as 'homeless') get to come in for a short period of time to get their act together and/or they get a ticket on the next ship leaving port for another reef. I know... it's a perfect, beautiful plan!

Bon Voyage SS United States

The SS United States, a historic 990-foot ocean liner, has begun its final journey from Philadelphia to become the world's largest artificial reef off Florida's Gulf Coast.

Tugboats are guiding the largest passenger ship built in America, nicknamed "the Big U," to Mobile, Alabama, where the crew will remove hazardous materials, including fuel. The process will take at least a year. The ship—more than 100 feet longer than the Titanic—will then continue its journey before resting roughly 180 feet underwater and 20 miles off the coast of Okaloosa County, Florida. The ship will sit upright on the seafloor, becoming a habitat for marine life. The voyage follows a legal battle and decades of decay while the vessel has been anchored in Philadelphia since 1996.

The SS United States ferried four US presidents and hosted numerous celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, and Grace Kelly. It set transatlantic speed records and completed roughly 800 crossings until its retirement in 1969 as air travel took off. See its history here. Explore the ship here (w/video).

Best Beginner Tennis Racket for Control and Comfort?

Hey everyone,

I'm just getting into tennis and looking for a good beginner-friendly racket.

I want something comfortable to use, offers decent control, and won’t be too harsh on my arm.

I’ve heard lighter rackets with larger head sizes are good for beginners, but I also don’t want something too bulky.

Are there any specific models you’d recommend for a mix of control, power, and comfort?

Also, should I focus on string tension or grip size when choosing?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It's Corruption Week at the White House...

Cancer research and food aid is frozen, but SpaceX just got a 38 million dollar government contract.

Vince McMahon federal charges magically dropped...

-Pardoned Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor who served eight years in prison for corruption.
-Department of Justice suspended its prosecution of New York Mayor Eric Adams for allegedly soliciting bribes from Turkey, despite mountains of evidence. --Trump fired the director of the Office of Government Ethics, the chief official making sure government employees comply with ethics requirements, including those concerning conflicts of interest.
-He directed the Justice Department to cease enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prevents American businesses from bribing foreign officials.
-Then the House GOP budget drops and its a joke...
  • +$5T deficit, -2T in spending cuts
  • Increase debt ceiling by $4T
  • $300B in new spending for border security (including judiciary/immigration judges and border patrol)
  • $880B in Medicaid program cuts
  • 20% cut ($230B) in SNAP program funding
  • Ending school breakfast and lunch program
  • $330B in education cuts
  • $4.5T in tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy

So much winning! LOL, you guys got absolutely played. Reaganomics on steroids. Enjoy the incoming recession.

Is this an insurrection?

MAGAt Beheads Government Worker Father and Posts His Decapitated Head on Youtube

This is where MAGA leads to. It's absolutely a sign of serious mental disorder. Please, I really suggest a lot of you need help. I'm absolutely serious about this. No more Parklands, El Paso Wal-Marts, Buffalo Grocery stores, Black churches in South Carolina, mosques and synagogues across the world, etc. Enough is enough...

Round 1 goes to Auburn

What a game. Auburn smothered them defensively much like the Tennessee game. Sears was able to get a few questionable calls with his foul hunting that kept bama hanging around.

UF/UT/bama are the three best SEC teams we’ve played. I’d rank them in that order. Defensively UT was the best we’ve seen. Florida’s big men are relentless.

The NET rankings are. . . .

#1 Auburn
#2 Duke
#3 Houston
#4 Florida
#5 Tennessee
#6 alabama
