That's great, let's hope they invest in the infrastructure needed to make it convenient.

Bass said the city will utilize 3,000 buses loaned to it from around the country to ease traffic congestion. The U.S. government last month pledged $900 million to help improve the city's rail and bus systems in anticipation of the Games.

That's tough, wish him luck. I remember reading David Foster Wallace's essay in A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again about Lynch filming Lost Highway and that he was an avid smoker of American Spirit.

That one is fire as too. Picked up All Hallows EP not too long ago. Big fan of all their early, punk sounding stuff

Nice haul! Love me some Modest Mouse and AFI. Every track on Sing the Sorrow is a banger for me

This is the plot for Snowpiercer. So we should also start building a train that will circle the frozen planet

Peter Rosenthal is the GOAT. His reviews for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Captain America Civil War, and Avengers Age of Ultron are just a few reasons why.

As a bonus, King's Canyon is also adjacent to Sequoia National Park, which is equally stunning and home to the largest single stem tree, the General Sherman giant Sequoia.

Two fires within pretty close proximity started within an hour of each other. Hawarden fire ~500 acres and Eagle fire ~450 acres. Godspeed to everyone fighting them

Same. Got a Bolt EUV and it's easily the nicest car we've owned. Can't see ourselves ever going back to an ICE vehicle. No stopping for gas, no oil changes or smog checks, and nearly free charging with solar...whole experience has been amazing.

Just like horse and buggy makers doubling down when the model T was introduced

Excited for this! Such an awesome channel, each one of their videos is super well done. Learned a ton about things I never even noticed. Especially liked the Satoshi Kon and David Fincher ones

Same. Casino was a great intro to the more serious tone and Skyfall had great atmosphere. Had high hopes for Spectre but just didn't click for me.
