I Thought This Would Be Cool, But I Guess I’m Damaged
Via the Puppy Blender, a video of a “historic” Detroit hotel being demolished, as filmed by a drone.
Sound is really optional on this, it goes from annoying music to annoying drone-motor buzz, although you CAN hear the building go down.

Personal Note: When I was a kid, I thought building demolitions were awesome.
But now, almost 14 years after 9/11, I can’t watch this without a little ball of sickness forming in the pit of my stomach.
I have the same problem watching superhero movies where buildings get destroyed. Avengers was gut-wrenching for me.
Apparently I have scars.

Robert Redford said that a UN climate conference is our “last chance” to address global warming.
So… is this the same “last chance” liberals have been whining about since 1975?

Yes, Ayatollah. Do it to Me Again
If you thought the Iran Deal was bad, well, it seems more like a betrayal. My man in State slipped me some of the details that aren’t being reported in the media:
- President Rouhani has openly begun referring to Obama’s negotiating style as “The Monica.”
- President Rouhani was granted carte blanche use of Obama’s veto power and given the master remote to all the drones.
- John Kerry will now be referred to as Caitlyn and must always wear a hijab in public.
- Reagan’s grave will be moved to Tehran where Ahmedinejad may spit upon it with impunity.
- Iranian officials will be allowed to make anytime/anywhere inspections of US nuclear facilities.
- Israel was declared a nuclear-free zone.
- On college campuses, women may not level charges of date rape without three additional witnesses.
- Progressive restaurant owners will not be allowed to refuse to cater gay hangings.
- The south wall frieze of Mohammad at the Supreme Court will be sandblasted and replaced with a carving of Obama prostrate before the Ayatollah.
- Iran gets first dibs on all Planned Parenthood fetal parts.
- The IRS will now be collecting a flat jizya tax from all non-Muslims on behalf of our Iranian overlords.
- The hostages from the Iranian Hostage Crisis will be returned to Iran.

In Japan, two robots have tied the knot in a first-of-its-kind wedding ceremony.
And still managed to make less of a mockery of marriage than the US Supreme Court.
