The _only_ good thing is the homophobe tried a lasso (rather than pulling out a gun).

Isn’t it odd how so many raging homophones seem to get off on homosexual acts?

Humiliate the son and his friend? Nah, I think a different desire was at play there.

A violent feud between Lil Durk and Quando Rondo, sounds like a song you’d have heard on Dr. Demento.

I have no idea who Ryan Girdusky is, but he deserves no platform.

He’ll probably be a guest on Jesse Watters’ show today.

For anyone who’s curious (because I had no idea either), here is an article about him:

> **[Who is Ryan Girdusky? CNN panelist's "beeper" comment sparks fury](https://www.newsweek.com/who-ryan-girduski-cnn-beeper-comment-1976482)**
>

He’s a conservative political commentator and writer (read: extreme right wing propagandist) and there’s this little gem:

> He also founded the 1776 Project PAC, which supports school board candidates who oppose progressive curricula, such as teaching Critical Race Theory and gender theory.

So those asshole wacko school board members trying to really fuck up our schools and our kids that you keep hearing about? This guy is responsible for funneling a lot of money to them.

Some non-political (and relatively mild in comparison) evil for you: these malign dipshits grabbing Mookie Betts arm to wrestle the ball away from him at the World Series:

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FGtfqwHwvmA/maxresdefault.jpg "Yankees fan pulls ball out of Mookie Betts' glove in World Series Game 4 | MLB on FOX") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGtfqwHwvmA)

IMH-IANAL-O, this went way beyond interference with the play and well into actual assault. They could have injured Betts quite badly doing that. Fortunately Betts seems to be okay and was more bothered by his team’s loss of the game.

FTR that catch was ruled an “out” (as he’d clearly caught the ball) and the two dipshits involved were ejected. Not sure if they’re facing any other punishments.

Evidently not:

Well shit. I couldn’t finish the game before bedtime last night and have been fastidiously avoiding looking at news sites (and the SDMB Game Room) since then…
