A floating skyscraper might just be the world’s worst idea
CNN went off the deep end today. The pressure of a 24-hour non-stop news cycle, and trying to get a break from the political world snapped them in half. This whole idea is cool to look at as you scroll through Twitter and catching up on the world. It’s a horrible idea if you even […]
