I’m sure Trump used Bluetooth…if he even knew what it was. He’d probably complain that his teeth aren’t blue – he just had 'em bleached this morning.

How else can they get asinine bullshit stories based on “people are talking about XXX”. They just head to the office next door and listen to some bullshit that people there are talking about, and then head back and report it as “news” that “people are talking about”

He’s clearly dealing with mental illness, most likely exacerbated by drug addiction. I find it sad more than anything.

Evil bastard kills family because of conspiracy theory

Prosecutor Gernot Bantleon told the [German Press Agency on Tuesday](https://www.euronews.com/2021/12/07/german-family-deaths-linked-to-fake-covid-certificate-says-prosecutor) that in a suicide note, the man indicated the couple was worried that the government would take their kids away because his wife was found with a fake vaccination certificate he’d provided to her.

Actual punishment for a fake card - a fine.

Be funny if someone Banksys\* her bus bench ads to show her wearing jailbird stripes.

Not quite as _satisfying_ as her losing everything, but we might have to take what we can get.

\*(sp? I’m trying to use Banksy as a verb)

Yes, it works with all transitive verbs that end in consonant-y too.  
bury → buries  
empty → empties  
study → studies  
glorify → glorifies

I cannot find any transitive verb that ends in --sy, perhaps that’s why it’s not immediately intuitive.
