|  | Monday, January 26, 2026 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1926, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird demonstrated the first true television set in London. Baird operated two ventriloquist dummies in front of a camera out of the audience's view, transmitting the moving image onto a screen. Humans have an odd habit of doing wildly unnecessary things at great heights, and on Sunday, Alex Honnold's scaling Taipei 101 without ropes was one of them. While the rest of us felt our palms sweat watching him climb, it gave us all a moment to marvel at human daring, as we cover below. With just 15% of shares remaining, The Flyover's current fundraising round is nearing its end, and the window to participate is closing fast. Most people miss this moment, so don't be one of them and invest now. More details below. Today's sponsor is Midori Bio, the company helping plastic producers meet tougher environmental mandates with a simple additive upgrade—no factory downtime or major capital costs. | | | | Winter Storm Fern Triggers Grid Emergency Power outages stayed above 1 million customers on Sunday as Winter Storm Fern dumped heavy ice across the South and mid-Atlantic, snapping trees onto distribution lines and slowing restoration in the hardest-hit areas. Tennessee accounted for roughly 300,000 outages on Sunday, with Mississippi and Louisiana each around 150,000, and Georgia and Texas each around 100,000, as utilities warned repairs could take days in the hardest-hit areas. The Department of Energy issued an emergency order on Sunday giving the PJM Interconnection, the largest U.S. regional grid, permission to run power generation at maximum output and exempting it from certain pollution limits during the storm. The storm underscored how much the grid depends on natural gas, about 40% of U.S. generation, and how quickly tight pipeline deliveries can become a constraint during extreme weather. | Democrats Threaten Shutdown Over MN Shooting Senate leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats won't provide the votes needed to advance a must-pass spending package if it includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security, raising the odds of a partial government shutdown with money set to run out Friday, Jan. 30. The fight follows the Saturday's fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, 37, an intensive care unit nurse, by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis during an enforcement operation. The Department of Homeland Security says Pretti was armed and resisted as agents tried to disarm him, while local officials and witness accounts dispute key parts of that version, and the Justice Department is investigating. Key Democrat senators including Angus King, Dick Durbin, and Jacky Rosen who voted to end November's 43-day shutdown announced opposition unless DHS is stripped from the package or includes new accountability measures for immigration enforcement. | American Scales Taiwan's Tallest Skyscraper Professional American rock climber Alex Honnold successfully scaled Taiwan's tallest building, Taipei 101, without any ropes on Sunday as viewers tuned in via a live Netflix broadcast. It took Honnold just over 90 minutes to reach the top of the 101-story, 1,667-foot tower, where he exclaimed, "Sick," waved his arms to the watching crowd, and took a couple of selfies. See the photos here. Honnold said the most challenging part of the climb was not getting complacent about scaling the 64 decorative dragon formations en route, and he explained his tiredness near the top as the wind whipped against the corner of the building he was climbing. Used to climbing in remote areas, Honnold said the watching crowd was unnerving at first before noting, "I mean basically it just makes the whole experience feel almost more festive. All these nice people are out supporting me and having a good time." Love reading The Flyover?

In the final days of an investment round, almost everyone is paying attention—but very few people are still able to act. Just days ago, we announced there are 10 days left to invest in The Flyover. Today, that window is even smaller. With roughly 15% of shares remaining, we are now in the final allocation phase of this round. This is the part most people miss. Not because they don't believe in the company. Not because they don't support the mission. But because they assume there will be more time. There won't be. Once the remaining shares are allocated, this round closes—regardless of the calendar. No extensions. No reopening. No second chance. What makes this moment different isn't persuasion—it's availability. The Flyover is already what most media startups never become: - Profitable
- Growing rapidly
- Trusted by millions of readers and viewers
- Built without corporate sponsorship or political donors
That part isn't theoretical. It's already true. What is still optional—for a very short time—is whether you are an owner as the next phase of growth happens. We are actively expanding: - Into more states
- Into deeper audio and video
- Into products like texting and The Flyover app
- Into a larger, more durable media company built for the long term
Those plans are being funded right now. The only remaining question is who is still able to participate before this round closes. If you've been waiting for a clearer signal—this is it. 👉 Invest in The Flyover → With roughly 15% of shares remaining, this is the final allocation window.
