Empire State

I'd say that I don't know what to think of the couple who climbed atop of the Empire State Building the other day. 

I suppose I don't think of them. 

Yeah. Ballsy. Yeah. Impressive - climbing at least part of it free solo (I don't think they started at the bottom). All those pictures of them on that platform are a little terrifying to me, but not as much at the top top of the antennae. 

In general I don't have a fear of height, but those videos of people climbing buildings and dangling off of them do give me the willies. Nothing about that sounds "fun" to me, but then I'm not a thrill seeker either. 

As they say, it's not the fall that will kill you. It's the sudden stop. 

For me, it would have been the heat that stopped me. And all in black yet. With covers on the head. As Robert Smith might sing: "hot hot hot". Or David Johansen Buster Poindexter.

Without a doubt, I laughed at a news video clip 710 sent me of commenters in the studio as the helicopter flew around. When the guy spiderpeson went to one knees the guy in the studio goes, "oh dear g-d, no!!!"

710 completely missed that when he saw it. I'm guessing many did. Me? I found it hilarious. 

I love that the idea of getting married evoked a more animated response than two people 1,450* feet up in the air with no safety harness. 

Honestly, while I appreciate the sentiment of the flag they put up ("When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."), I found it a bit wordy and hard to read. A better font may have helped. 

Of course I would have loved a message something more hateful to BLOTUS, because now someone from the NYPD was gonna have to scale up and take it down. And it would have been something for the entire world to see. Even if it was just an image of him and Epstein together would have sufficed 

But the internet sprung into action for their take. Some of it was viral marketing, some not so much. 

This was probably Madge approved. Her new disk drops at 12mn.

I like they got her hair to blow the same way as the flag. Most AI is bad at detail. 

My second favourite one. No Madonna is not the best. 

Shep got in on the action. 

While not a flag meme exactly, the posting made me laugh and laugh. This was my fave. 

710 also told me when workers go up there to change shit they have to turn off a lot of stuff because of the amount of radiation given off by something up there. Well, they might get married, but they might not now have kids. 

The price of your 15 minutes. 

*top of the spire is 1,454 feet, but I don't think they scaled those last four feet.
