Every time I watch a video of any Texas A&M "tradition," I get a full body chill and feel such deep dread. Go Canes.

The apprenticeship process is 4-5 years to become a union carpenter. I also suspect that the Bricklayers would claim jurisdiction b/c it's affixing the letters to marble.
All that said, there would be no ladder. A union Operating Engineer would lift the tradesperson up to perform the work.

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Anyways I’m here on MLS SuperDraft day, the holiest day of the year, to remind you of the greatest social media handle in the history of SuperDraft picks. MLS peaked at this very moment.

Teens mad at them for having one too few ventures, little kids mad at them for having one too many ventures

I still don't understand what 68 Ventures is.

68 Ventures (68V) is the parent company for numerous operating businesses along the Gulf Coast which focus on development, investment and construction. Headquartered in Daphne, Ala., 68V is a purpose driven, culturally focused organization with a strong operational track record that has resulted in it becoming the largest single-family developer within the region, deploying well over a billion dollars in capital, and reaching the rank of one
of the top 100 private home builders. For more information, please visit

this feels like a "you won't guess where this is going" LinkedIn post for the ages

I ordered a chicken wrap from Uber Eats and was delivered cocaine instead.

True story: yesterday as I eagerly awaited the delivery of a chicken wrap from a local Mediterranean restaurant, I opened my door to notice a sealed envelope instead.

Missing address markings, I opened it thinking this surely was a mistake but what could be in this mystery envelope?

To my shock, inside was a paper towel padding the room for two little baggies of powdery substance: one pink, one white.

I stood in shock, and hunger, contemplating what to do.

Mostly, I was hungry.

This is Miami, after all.

So as I thought about how to handle these illicit substances now in my house, I put them to the side to forage my kitchen for the food I was lacking.

Scarily, the “uber driver” returned to my building a few minutes later demanding to be let back in to retrieve his “accidental mix up” of a delivery.

Panicked, and not trying to be in the middle of anything related to this world, i stuck the open envelope back outside my door and locked it, so that he could take it off my hands. Which he did.

Still, I was hopeful that my chicken would be traded in it’s place.

It was not.

So, still hungry and now slightly scared and confused, I wrote to Uber to at least get a refund.

It was denied.

I paid $32 for no food and no drugs.

Bummer.

As a lesson for you, Linkedin, is that logisitics matter.

One missed delivery or issue with mispacked items can really ruin a customer experience.

If your 3PL is mispacking, damaging, or missing orders - lets talk.

3PeeL can help place you into a new 3PL for 2026 that packs, ships, delivers accurately and on time.

Governor JB Pritzker

@govpritzker.illinois.gov

A once-in-a-generation investment that benefits everyone in our state.

Today, I’m proud to sign the Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act into law.

Our new regional authority will modernize Illinois’ transit systems — and we’re doing it with no new statewide taxes.

Governor JB Pritzker signed the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA) Act, SB2111, into law, marking a landmark action in modernizing Illinois’ transit system. The law creates a new regional authority to oversee CTA, Metra, and Pace, while delivering significant investments in public transit, capital projects, and tollways across the state—all without raising statewide taxes.

I feel like “Philip Rivers returns on the road against a dangerous Seattle defense and is passable” is a sign of where we’re at right now with the level of skill in the NFL. Nobody is good this year because nobody is good!
