It's a bird! It's a plane! It's pizza! Drone delivery in Seattle and Tacoma could soon become reality

It might seem like a pie in the sky idea, but that’s because that’s exactly what it is — pizza delivery using flying drones. A plan is cooking up in Seattle to make pizza delivery via drones a reality, and that’s just for starters.

Well this isn't a good development in the war between Ukraine and Russia. Will MushHead flex his super-duper masculine muscle?

Video footage captured the massive explosions of a Russian strike on a Ukrainian weapons depot, where Ukraine was reported to be storing depleted uranium shells supplied by NATO.

Lil Wayne abruptly ended the final show of his “Welcome To Tha Carter Tour” at the Wiltern in Los Angeles on Saturday after accusing the crowd of disrespecting his fellow performers.

Wayne’s concert got off to a rocky start after the rapper took the stage more than an hour later the scheduled start time. After playing for about 30 minutes, Weezy left the stage so that members of his Young Money label — including Lil Twist, Yaj Kader, and Allan Cubas — could perform.

On this day in music, May 14, 1998, it was the end of an era when 82-year-old Frank Sinatra died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, following a heart attack.
