Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

With it being a cell phone, I should think the authorities could figure out who it belonged to.

Florida Woman CEO tells her staff Hurricane Ian was going to be a “nothing burger” and they should just stay at work. She was saying that from her car, not the office.

Only after outrage spread on social media on Tuesday did Joy Gendusa, the head of PostcardMania, announce it would close its headquarters for Wednesday and Thursday to turn it into a hurricane shelter for employees instead. The company is known for using a business management system tied to the Church of Scientology, also based in Clearwater.

Gendusa sent a staff memo Wednesday apologizing to employees who “felt that it came across as insensitive,” according to the email provided by Jessica Lalau, PostcardMania director of marketing and communications.

Oh, and she’s a Republican.

Sounds like Medusa.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to an amusement park. Where am I supposed to put my phone while I’m on a ride?

Either hand it to a friend or in a zippered pocket.

But how many pockets would get unzipped? “OMG, I so need a selfie on Space Mountain!”

You just know some fool would try and use a selfie stick.

Good plan! That way the phone can take out one fellow rider, and the stick can impale another!

As someone who is getting ready to leave Disney World in the morning, any ride that is fast has a pouch in front of each seat that you can use to secure a phone, hat, sunglasses, etc. I hope any responsible ride operator would have something similar in place.

Been a bit damp there this week, has it?

An excellent idea. If an amusement park is going to prohibit cell phones on a ride, they ought to give you some place to put it.

Today was bone dry, so funny. If it wasn’t for all the debris still around you’d never know a hurricane just passed through.

I actually saw a photo of garbage cans put out today for pickup, streets almost fully dry. I don’t know where it was, ,but it was identified as someplace in Florida.

Two brothers, one an ex-prison warden, arrested for murder after shooting at immigrants in Texas, killing one.

Are those still a thing? All the selfies I see anymore are hand held (although the people I know mostly have long arms so that helps).

First chess, then golf, now a man is caught cheating at competitive fishing. Weird time for sports.

The news this week was that Bruce Willis had sold his likeness for digital use. His representative says that’s not true.

"Several brawls between supporters of the two rival soccer teams were reported inside the stadium after the Indonesian Premier League game ended with Persebaya Surabaya beating Arema Malang 3-2.
The fights prompted riot police to fire tear gas, which caused panic among supporters, said East Java Police Chief Nico Afinta.
Hundreds of people ran to an exit gate in an effort to avoid the tear gas. Some suffocated in the chaos and others were trampled, killing 34 almost instantly. "

To quote Weird Al: I haven’t been in a crowd like this since I went to see the Who.

Right wing British PM Liz Truss put pressure on King Chuck to drop out of an environmental conference he was schedule to make a speech at.

A team of fishermen competing in a tournament were caught putting weights in their catch to make them weigh more.
