What I am most proud of are, creating The Dick Van Dyke Show and informing Mel Brooks that he's 2000 Years Old and knows everything. This, and a lot more, in my Dispatches From Quarantine: youtube.com/watch?v=mhju_o9F… cc: @SlvrScnStudios

Two years ago, Juli Briskman was fired from her job for flipping her middle finger at President Donald Trump’s motorcade. Today, she stands as one of the newly elected Loudoun County Board of Supervisors winning about 52% of the vote. More: nbcwashington.com/news/polit… – at Leesburg, VA

Proud to support this legislation championed by Delegate @IsraelOQuinn. This outside-the-box approach to broadband can be a game-changer for rural communities and we’re doing it right here in Southwest Virginia! roanoke.com/news/politics/ge…

I can’t thank my family, friends and fans enough for their support. Having my family by my side today is something I will never forget. To not only be able to play again, but to be able to win again, is something I will forever be grateful for. This jacket sure is comfortable.

I’ve done it -- carefully placed this protective cover over my seismometer. Shielding it from wind and temperature changes will help it get its best measurements of any #marsquakes. Stay cozy in there, little guy!

There's 3 ways this snow storm goes: 1. It overperforms and people are mad they got more snow than expected. 2. It underperforms and people are made they didn't get the snow they expected. 3. It performs exactly like we think and still, people are mad because it's 2018.

When a city is smarter with #broadband, it can use technologies like predictive policing and gunshot detection to reduce crime and prevent deaths.
