R.I.P. Steve Albini. Here’s a video of him doing a 9/11 on the Sears Tower.



This entire trailer melted my brain when I first saw it. Just pure 90's cocaine energy.

I don't understand how Steve Albini could have died of a heart attack. He seemed so health conscious. Hmm. Unfortunately, Steve went mask looney tunes.

How sexual harassment and the shipyard crippled a Navy warship

On August 4, 2022, Bulkeley departed Norfolk for a homeport shift to Rota, Spain, arriving on 17 August.

USS Bulkeley (DDG-84) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer named for Medal of Honor recipient Vice Admiral John D. Bulkeley (19 August 1911 – 6 April 1996) nickname "Sea Wolf" was one of the most decorated naval officers during WWII. He was also the PT boat skipper who evacuated General Douglas MacArthur, his family and his staff on March 11, 1942 from Corregidor island in the Philippines. MacArthur said, "You have taken me out of the jaws of death. I shall never forget it." Later that year while back in the United States helping to raise War Bonds as a lieutenant commander, he met former Ambassador to Britain Joseph Kennedy at New York's Plaza Hotel, and shortly after was instrumental in recruiting Lieutenant John F. Kennedy into the Navy's Motor Torpedo Boat Training Center (MTBTC) at Mellville, Rhode Island. Years later Bulkeley was promoted to rear admiral by President John F. Kennedy.


Bulkeley retired from active duty in 1975. However, he was recalled to active duty in a retired-retained status in order to serve as the commander of the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) which conducts inspections and surveys of U.S. naval vessels before their commissioning and deployment. In 1986, Bulkeley conducted an inspection of the USS Iowa, finding numerous deficiencies and recommending it be taken out of service immediately. His advice was not heeded, and three years later, it suffered the USS Iowa turret explosion, killing 47 crewmen. Later promoted to Vice Admiral, Bulkeley retired from the Navy in 1988, after 55 years of service.

What I did in the Arabian Gulf back in the day:


^^^ All that too. Except my instructors were Navy SEALs who demonstrated very little mercy on us. My main job was both a Data Systems tech and ET in CE division on a different ship, not the Bulkeley.


I remember the plot of this movie. It didn't end well for mankind.
